Last year I took hundreds of pics at BricksWest 2002 but never got around to uploading them to the Web for all to see. I didn't want to make the same mistake this year so I did it before the end of February. And while I was at it, I uploaded last (...)

It already is that case for the Bay Area, with its high dot concentration at Brickswest. I think just having one instance of (...)
