Philcon 2006, the 70th edition of the annual
Philadelphia Area Conference of Science Fiction and Fantasy, will run this
coming November; and for the third year, I’ll be conducting a set of LEGO-themed
events. Here are some pics of the
2004 event and
2005.
There will definitely be an Open Build and a MOC display with pre- and
at-con-built SF-themed models, and maybe a Space-themed train layout. I might
run a couple of QuikWars games, or arrange a screening of SF/F-topic brikfilms.
There may be slideshows and building technique workshops.
How can you help?
- Do you want to come and present on a topic such as Bionicle, Castles, Mecha, Micro, Moonbase or Space?
- Want to contribute images and anecdots for such a slideshow, run by someone else?
- Itching to run a game of BrickQuest, BrikWars, or QuikWars?
- Got a fancy new Mindstorms NXT bot to demo?
- Have a MOC you can send by mail?
- Have MOC plans you can send by e-mail, that I’ll recreate locally and display under your name?
- Got a brikfilm you’d like to screen?
Why should you help?
- To show off your building prowess to an audience outside AFOLdom: over a thousand people from DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA, and VA.
- To expand the awareness of advanced LEGO building, and AFOLdom.
- Because you need another collaborative LEGO fix two-and-a-half months after BrickFest.
If you’re interested, please contact me at kids2006@philcon.org for details and planning. Thank you. (Philcon is a
copyright of the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society. Philcon 2006 runs the
weekend of 17-19 November 2006 at the Sheraton Center City, located near City
Hall. LEGO activities at Philcon are considered a sub-track of the Children’s
Program only for organizational purposes. This message has been cross-posted
because... well, there are lots of reasons you might logically be interested.)

This is just a quick message to see if there's any interest in starting a Lego®
Train Club in Delaware.
If there are other AFOL's in the Delaware area, reply to this thread and we can
discuss ideas and details ...
Thanks,
Robert

Hello,
Here is a link to pics of the 30,000 piece cable-stayed bridge I built 7
years ago after the suspenson bridge.
The first two pics show as it appeared in my basement.
The remaining three pics show how it appeared in the front window of the
Lancaster Zany Brainy.

I'll be more than happy to answer any questions. I had attempted twice to
post this message with more detail info about the bridge, but failed to
successfully post.
Enjoy

Howdy!
GardenSLUG will be meeting on Saturday, 24 August, at around 2:00 PM in
Hillsborough, NJ -- and you're invited. We'll be building, playing,
trading, sharing ideas, and generally having a good time. If you're
interested, let us know.
Depending on the interest of the participants, we could (in my guesstimate of
probability):
- free-build
- show off MOCs
- eat, drink, and be merry
- buy/sell/trade bricks
- play building "games"
- discuss the future
- run trains
- assemble a moon base
- play BrikWars
or
- anything else
If someone were interested in visiting from any of the neighboring LUGs, that
would be tres cool. We'd love to hear what y'all do at your meetings. Or even
just from the outlying areas -- we'd like to get to know you.

Hi all,
We are planning a meeting on the 17th or 24th of August in central New Jersey.
It would be great to have you. If you've been interested in attending, you
attended once, or even if you've never heard of us, we'd like to get to know
you and see your MOCs. We are still planning the exact date so if you have a
preference, weigh in and be counted! If you have ideas for activities at the
meet, we can discuss those too.
If you are interested in attending a GardenSLUG meeting on either the 17th or
the 24th, please respond to this with your names below. If someone else has
responded already, respond to their responses and maybe we can get a list
together. We have a list going on the GardenSLUG mailing list also, so at some
point I'll combine them.
could meet on 17 August:

could meet on 24 August:

The private mailing list for Gardenslug can be accessed using this web form.
The list is used mainly to arrange meeting times.
http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/gardenslug-list
By the way, I've learned that the digest mode is broken. It is supposed to
be daily or when messages reach 30kb. Apparently it is only sent when
messages reach 30kb as the digest Larry got included a Mar 1 message. (The
list is GNU Mailman 2.0 as implemented by Pairlist.net.)

Hi again everyone,
I'm just wanting to remind everyone near (and some not that close -- I know NY
and PA stretch far to the west) that GardenSLUG exists centered on New Jersey,
but not in any way limited to the Garden State. We'll be meeting in the next
couple of months some time and I want to invite everyone who can make it. If
you're in another LUG or related club, you're still welcome to come meet, show
your work, and play with us.
Feel free to post in response to this or to email me directly and hopefully we
could meet in person. I look forward to it.
Chris

Hi all,
This is just a reminder that the Garden State LEGO Users Group will be meeting
tomorrow. If you're attending and have not previously announced your
intent, you need to do so ASAP.
I expect to have a fun time and look forward to seeing those who make it. If
you're interested in GardenSLUG events in the future, let us know and we'll
make sure that you're included.

Hi everyone,
We have a young LEGO User's Group centered on the New Jersey area, with members
out of PA and NY so far. You may remember the announcements from last summer
when we were forming. We're planning a meeting for early 2001 and I wanted to
take this chance to invite a wider audience of participation.
If you're willing to drive to the area roughly around Philly and New York City
for a several hour meeting, we would be glad to have you. We bring our
creations, set up trains, build from a common pile, talk about deals and sales,
trade parts, order pizza, and have fun. And we could do anything else too, if
you thougt of something else.
I've set the followup to lugnet.org.us.gardenslug so as not to clutter your
state newsgroups, but you might want to check us out and add to the fun.
Chris
