Hey James! I can transport you to Nashville's TennLUG meetings easily. I
have room for six in my truck + enough cargo space for a decent sized
layout. I am already taking two smaller folks up the first or second week in
April...if we can work out schedules with the other TennLUG folks (mainly
Robert, who has volunteered his house).
As for a local group, my lego area is dining room sized (in fact, it once
was the dining room...hahaha) and we could get together here when a full
blown TennLUG meeting isn't an option.
The TennLUG group is considering a larger train layout or a larger project.
I imagine that will be the topic at the next meeting...
Shoot me an email.... rich@robotthoughts.com

P.S. I think Todd may be getting overworked. His sig read "--Todd (listening
to Johnny Cash's album _Murder_ :-)". Scary stuff indeed :p

| (...) Thanks for the offer, Rich. That sounds great. I may have to work on Saturdays, but I'll let you know something. I may be able to work out later meetings easier, esp. once U of M lets out. Despite it's overwhelming size, I might be able to (...) (23 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tn.mem, lugnet.loc.us.ms, lugnet.loc.us.ar)
