We had a great event at Dragon’s Lair!  Kiara was an amazing host providing us a war table to display our creations on!  She also checked in with us often to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a very good crowd on Saturday, a bit lighter on Sunday.  Many people were interested in our Builds and in Houston Brick Club.  We had a lot of interaction with the crowd and answered many Lego questions! There were 6 members who participated in this event!  We have an open invitation to attend next year and Kiara thinks they may be having an even bigger event offsite next year where we can have even more display space.

As you will see in the pictures below our friends from the 501st were at the event with us!

Houston Brick Club held their monthly meeting at the Bricks & Minifigs, The Woodlands, Texas. They just had their grand opening on August 3rd! Thanks to Abe for graciously allowing us to have our meeting at the store! We had 24 adults and 2 teens attend.

Our brick challenge this month was to build a small moc with the Parabolic ring (75937  2×2 Bar Frame Octagon).

7 Members rose to the challege!  John gets the special bonus for including the red octagonal part in red, but an original goat also.

Our next meeting will be September 21st at the Galleria Lego Store in Houston, Texas.

15 of our members put on an amazing display at the Lone Star Flight Museum August 3rd. There were 573 in attendance (433 adults, 140 kids)

Houston Brick Club was invited to display their Lego© creations at HEB’s Kid’s Day in Indian Springs, The Woodlands, Texas. Three of our members displayed 5 tables full of creations! HEB pulled out all the stops with this event and had store wide activities, give aways and displays. Employees were dressed in their favorite Pixar costumes. The kids also came in dressed and ready for all the activites.

There were approximately 500 people at the event. (300 kids, 200 adults)

We also met with HEB Community Coordinator and they have a couple of other events they would like us to participate in! We are so excited about this opportunity! HEB was an amazing host to us and we look forward to any upcoming events they have.

Houston Brick Club was invited to display at Mcdonald’s Summer Event. Five of our members rose to the challenge! It was a great event, the Mcdonalds Mangers and employees were incredibly gracious making sure we were well watered and fed during the event! We had 115 people in attendance (40 parents, 60 kids and 15 teens). The Mcdonalds Event Coordinator has already invited us back for other events!

We had our monthly club meeting at Bricks and Toys Destination in Katy, Texas. We had 15 club members in attendance. Our challenge build was a series 26 CMF habitat build. Here are the winners. 1st was Dom with the saucer head build, 2nd was Jeff with the Mtron build, and 3rd was Emily with the classic space astronaut! We also discussed all of our upcoming events and our plans for Brick Rodeo.

Houston Brick Club had an amazing display event at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts in Spring, Texas. Twelve of our adult members participated and two of our teen members. This event was available to the public from June 1st – August 17th.

Four of our members, Rebecca Council, Aaron Gagui, Jose Ruiz, and Jason Maggitti showcased Lego© models representing photos taken by Mitchel Wu. Club member and Lego© Master Contestant Tim Howell displayed an incredible seek and find build of the clue game. The rest of the team diplayed an incredibly detail packed minifigure habitat consisting of over 50 mini habitats! What an incredible opportunity it was to display at the museum for our community.

Houston Brick Club had an amazing display this year at Comicpalooza! We had 20 members participate. The club mosaic collaboration also made it’s debut! Our mosaic was from the graffiti artist Gonzo who gave us permission to recreate his artwork in Lego©. Brick club member Greg Jonason mapped out this artwork and 32 members assembled this project in sections.

Artist Gonzo is pictured here on the Left with club member Jason Maggitti.

This event was an amazing success as thousands of passerby’s stopped to talk about Lego© and were amazed by the builds and huge mosaic.

We had a great turnout for the club meeting at the Lego Store in The Woodlands Mall. We had 20 members attend. We chose the metallic Parabolic ring (75937  2×2 Bar Frame Octagon) as the seed part for next month’s 16×16 build challenge.

We went over our upcoming events and are excited about our club mosaic that will make it’s debut at Comicpalooza May 24-26th!
