I went to the show (with no LEGO in tow at all :( )
But I took lots of video (some of which can never be shown in polite company...
ever!)
Anyways, here's my edited video of the various creations that people brought--
http://youtu.be/U0C6ZsYxFV0
As always, Janey and the event organizers put on an awesome show! I have a good
idea of the amount of effort that is needed to put a show such as this together
and make it utterly fantastic, and the efforts were appreciated, not just by me
and my family, but by the public that I spoke with at the show. I heard nothing
but high praise from everyone!
Again, thanks BrickFete for these wonderful shows!

And ignorant ppl who might admin other lego forum sites really should stop
saying that...
As well, before I get to my post, (and to continue with my rant), if you can't
respect the fact that, without LUGNET, your little forum website probably
wouldn't be as big as it is, or even in existence at all.
As far as I can see, LUGNET laid the groundwork for all subsequently successful
AFOL forums. LUGNET separated the AFOL's from the 'background noise' that was
rtl and other newsgroups. It was one of the first message boards--programmed
form scratch, and well before cookie-cutter PHP message boards--that allowed us
to communicate with one another whilst keeping out the spammers.
Again, you don't have to respect any of this. You don't have to take any of
this into consideration when running your discussion group. However, don't
think for a second that you have the temerity to pronounce LUGNET dead.
And another little point to all your admins and owners of other AFOL sites--not
one of you combined ALL facets of the hobby in the same fashion and to the same
extent that LUGNET did. And none of you could do it now. You want to stay
ensconced into your own little niche of the hobby--all the power to you--have
fun with that. Just don't go slamming the giant that lead the way for you.
All that said, I visit many of the AFOL sites on a regular basis because LUGNET
isn't what it once was. There is no 'one-stop shopping' for the AFOL community
now. So again I say, have your sites! I love visiting them and seeing what
other AFOL's are saying and building... there is no end of discovery out there.
Again, however, you're there now because of who came before you. You're
standing on the shoulders of giants who lead the way.
Anyway, now that I got that out of the way, I'm building something!
https://www.flickr.com/photos/sparky1701/sets/72157643617736845/
It's for the OBB space layout (obviously). I needed something to replace the
big crater and this is what I came up with. It needs a few more BrickLink
orders and lots of time.
Again, no interiors as yet. I do keep stating that when I get the layout
finalized, that I'll go back and readdress all the buildings and stuff and add
the details. however, as yet, that hasn't happened :(

Janey and the Toy Building Zone allowed me to set up the OBB Classic Space
Layout. The good bit is that it gets to be set up for a few months instead of a
few days.
Since this layout sits in boxes when it's at home, it's a pleasure to see it set
up.
We're continually adding 'enhancements' to the layout, and it's great to have it
set up to make sure these enhancements fit in.
Anyway, have a look and let me know what you think!
Take care,

And it is big...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sparky1701/sets/72157635672708083/
I built it for Shiptember.
I really haven't built anything for a 'competition' since rtl stopped having
robot competitions many moons ago...
I had thought of building something at a larger scale that would complement my
space station, and the impetus to do so was the Shiptember build.
This build was ruminating in the back of my mind for years, and one of the
contributing inspirations was this--
http://www.flickr.com/photos/si-mocs/7694437706/
The only big difference between what I originally imagined and the final build
that you see, is that my first thought was a fully enclosed repair bay under the
landing pads holding the 928's. Two things stopped that from happening--I
couldn't make the ship strong enough to 'swoosh' and couldn't quite figure out
how to make it work in such a confined space.
I think adding the interior shuttle bays, a la 'battlestar galactica' was a good
last-minute fill-in for that space.
Another original idea was to make these huge, complicated engines at the back.
Realizing that I can't build that way was depressing, and I did what I always
do--fill in with something that looks fine.
Anyway, thought I would post here 'cause LUGNET is a little bit of a ghost town
lately and I wanted to bring something to the table.
This ship is by no means done yet--I will probably do a complete rebuild--adding
the interior details that I mostly left out just to get it done for Shiptember.
As a tangent, I was shocked--Shocked, I say--when Jeff told us he was running
low on basic bricks--how could that possibly happen to people who have amassed
such large collections over the years. However, I have used up most of the
following--
1 x 2 blue plates, 2 x 2 blue plates, 1 x 8 blue bricks, 2 x 22 blue inverted
slopes, and a slew of other items...
THe good bit is that I don't have to sort these now :)
If it stays together, it'll be at BrickFete 2014.

things such as sharing a room, collaborative builds, or just a chance to connect
with others before the event.

Thanks all for the info.
And at 6 foot 4, coach surfing can be dangerous for my other half :).
