Is it possible to attend two LEGO conventions on different sides of the world only a few days apart? Aiden Rexroad describes his journey around the world from Japan Brickfest to Brickworld Chicago and beyond. Japan Brickfest - The Beginning of the Journey My journey began at 3:00 AM in Orlando, Florida, as I got ready to head to the airport for my first of many flights. I didn’t sleep at all because of work the night before, so I was already off to a great start. But I knew I’d have plenty of time to sleep on my flight to Japan.

Although I must admit, some of my personal favorite SHIPs have been born out of zero planning and sheer desperation. I have participated in SHIPtember (almost) annually for over ten years now, and I have some insight I would like to share with you. If you are new to SHIPtember or have been a SHIPwright for many years, it’s a good idea to prepare! What is SHIPtember? SHIPtember is an annual event where participants are tasked with the mission of building a spaceship that must measure more than 100 studs in any direction during one month (September).
