I think someone (Mike) suggested having a gathering where things are
built on the spot.  The real down-side I see is figuring out what
parts are used to build things.  If I were to go to such an event,
I'd want to use a much different collection of parts, than an average
train or space builder.


Mike's idea is basically like that. He addresses your downside in a really neat
way.

This year, at Brickworld, I spent Saturday night building a robot for
one of the competitions.  It was a lot of fun just sitting in the
main ballroom, building with a couple other people.  (that's what we
did at HoB).


Building a Cafe Corner module was pretty fun at Brickworld.

I think that kind of event could be fun.

I'd be up for it!
