Bricks Cascade 2017 recap time!
First off, the general convention vibe was great. Compared to BrickCon, there was a lot more floor space, and yet the Technic section managed to be one of the most packed themes there. Everyone was quite welcoming, and new friends were made (always a plus)!
As for models, both the Koenigsegg and the Subarute were received very well. My last parts for the Subarute showed up on Saturday at 12:30ish, so I had to frantically build for a few hours to get the model to where it is now. Thankfully, it got done before Sunday's public hours, where it received quite a bit of attention. The Koenigsegg, of course, received it's usual "KOENIGSEGG!!!" and "Is that a Ferrari/Lamborghini/Saleen S5?" comments, and it was great seeing faces light up when I'd open the doors. The One:1 also won the award "Technic-al Achievement", which came with the Cargo Plane set you see in the photo (Convention organizers take note: trophies are better when they come with a set!).
On the topic of sets, I picked up two copies of 42063 while making a LEGO store run, along with the Claas tractor, which I and two other Technic builders drafted out (hence the big ziploc of Technic pieces). Off-screen are also two small boxes of system pieces that I'll need to sort through....
...which brings me to my next point. Everything in the picture (plus the two boxes of system and the Binary Clock model that's collecting dust) needs to be disassembled and sorted before I start my next model. Of course, I'm keeping the trophy intact, and I've got fairly accurate LDD models of both the Koenigsegg and the Subarute in the event that I need to rebuild them. The only thing is, my current LEGO sorting setup is already at the overflow point, and that's without the Koenigsegg and Subaru BrickLink orders (let alone the 3 sets and heaps of bulk). Guess it's time to buy some more storage containers!
Overall, Bricks Cascade was an absolute blast. It's great to finally go to a convention that's 20 minutes from home rather than 3.5 hours away, and the friendly environment made me feel quite at home. Plus, who can say no to free LEGO?

Built in 1923 the former Farmers State Bank in Wawaka, Indiana, is now the town's post office. But a reminder of its days as a bank still remains.
This finger post in Kirby Stephen is unusual as it shows furlongs, as well as the usual miles.
In all my years on this planet, I've only ever known furlongs used on race courses, although I read they are used on canals. In addition, I don't recall seeing any other direction sign on a road showing furlongs, which equate to a distance of 200 metres or 220 yards.
This sign is by the junction it purports to serve, but has been moved slightly following the modification of the junction some years back.
