DelVaLUG, the Delaware Valley LEGO Users Group, will be exhibiting at the
Wizard World
Philadelphia pop-culture expo on 15-17 June, 2007. The event is held at the
Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Featured elements of the display will be custom models tied to three of this
summer’s action movies: “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” “Spider-Man
3,” and “The Transformers.”
Behind the scenes: This is an event that DelVaLUG members first proposed before
the 2006 show, but we finally approached Wizard Entertainment this April. You
have to be diplomatic when cold-calling, and cite the right advantages; but they
were very happy to have us. After all, the company isn’t just comic books -- it
does publish the magazines ToyFare and ToyWishes, so a toy-based display
that can adapt itself to the show’s themes is definitely appropriate.
We’ll be using this event for AFOL promotion and club recruitment; the product
literature distributed at BrickFest will be used. Since I’m deeply involved
with the Philcon SF convention, I’ll also be promoting
that. It’s not a big segue; a matter of “Oh, and we’ll be appearing later
this year at Philcon -- different theme, much more convivial, and you get to
build with the parts.”

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,

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
