Hi Susan,
Thank you for the great questions and comments. I'll share these answers with everyone on our mailing list. More improvements on this summer's BrickFair...
1) We will more clearly mark the cashier stations for incoming public. And we're giving the cashiers some instruction. Hopefully that'll make your entrance smoother. But, they *are* volunteers, so we're not getting nit-picky over a little confusion there :)
2) We plan for more cashier stations (5 instead of 3). So your time in line should be shortened.
3) We'll have more stanchions guiding the public line, and accompanying signs with helpful info, such as "Cash/Check only" and "ATM is in the lobby."
4) Empty ATM: We will contact the ATM owner before BrickFair and let them know the ATM should be loaded with cash. Hopefully they will heed us.
5) Maps will be available to the public, for grabs, as you walk the entrance line. The map will specify places and times. All the basic answers should be at your fingertips.
6) Last year, the only 2 things not open to the public (during public hours) were seminars and the Charity Auction. This year the Charity Auction *is* open to the public. So you should feel less closed out. Alas, seminars are still reserved for registrants; it's one of the benefits of paying $50 instead of $10 entrance.
Thank you again for the great feedback. I'm pleased that we're already on top of most those items you observed :)
See you at BrickFair this August!
Todd
