Well, I cannot say this is very timely but...
I just uploaded, to Brickshelf, a few pictures that I took in 1997 for the
Grand-Opening for the LIC in Orlando, FL. I was fortunate enough to be
living in the area at the time and spent more than my fair share of time
helping to build a few of the towers. (What fun!) I had a terrific time and
met a lot of the LEGO designers out of Enfield. You can view the folder here:

My most favorite picture is this one:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=315591
This was, and may still be, the President of LEGO America (if I remember
correctly.) The old man sleeping on the bench was modeled to be an exact
replica with a bit of humor. For those of you who had the opportunity to
visit the Orlando store, you may remember the model would snore.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. I also encourage others who have images of
this event to post their links in this thread. (I know Larry P. in
particular was also part of this event.) Thanks.
-Nick
