No, but being stuck writing about this is:-)
Over here in good ol' NC, the News and Observer is a very liberal paper - while
that doesn't really mean anything in terms of the bias of this article, the side
effect is that the writing itself is often more subjective than objective - so
those comments (which are NOT true newspaper reporting) are pretty common in the
N & O.
Sad thing is, I used to work there.

I wish there was 'advance' warning about this event. I mean, I didn't see any
post about this event on LUGNET. Such as, a 3 to 5 week in-advance notice about
the event. So, I can make travel plans hotel, car, etc. Generally
speaking...about any LEGO fan/club event, no matter where the event is or when
it is. Because I might want to travel to visit, and see the event in person.
:-) (sigh)
But anyways... I am glad everybody had a good time.

Nice example of unbiased reporting. He replies to your comment with an
"Oohhh-Kaaay." So creating your own utopian world is somehow crazy?

Mike,
Thanks! I posted in part out of fun and part out of annoyance. Had I been in the
area I would have definitely dropped by. Hey, a planetarium and a LEGO event, my
two favorite loves in one. I would have been there. Sadly, I live too far away
to to have been there with 4 hours notice.
And, yes, I saw the pics Joe posted. Your NC folks always seem to have a lot of
fun and put on a great show.
Sincerely,
Todd
