It's pretty interesting how the off-the-cuff things you say are what ends up
being printed, while what you perceive as the actual interview does not. But any
press is good press, right?

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?
