Hey All!
I was just curious about how many Moonbase builders out there might be
relatively close to me. Are there other Moonbases in or nearby New England?
The reason I ask is that although I plan to join in any Moonbase display at
BrickFest, I would also like to know what the possibilities are of local
displays as well. Anyhoo, how about a psuedo-roll-call of New England area
Moonbase builders:
1. Hendo, Greenfield, MA; 1 Module, Plans for 2-4 more.
Any others?
FUT: .org.us.nelug, just to keep it tidy.
-H.

Hi, all.
Those of you living in the UK, and those near Portsmouth, NH, in the USA
will get the chance to hear me blather on about The Brick Testament on the
radio.
This Sunday morning (4/13/02), sometime between 7:10 and 7:55am GMT, I'll be
on BBC4 radio, chatting with Roger Bolton.
Then a week from today, Thursday, April 18th, I'm scheduled to talk with
WHEB's "The Morning Buzz" crew at 9:30am EST.
Don't really know what to expect from either of these, but it should be fun.

Actually, I've been meaning to ask (and this seems like an appropriate time):
I live fairly close to the MA/RI boarder. Are there any people in the area
who'd like to get together sometime? I wouldn't mind trying that at some
point. I like the (Boston-area)NELUG meetings, it's just difficult for me to
make them.

I would just like to throw in my 2 cents and say that I would be real excited
if folks wanted to have NELUG meetings in other parts of New England. We have
a very well established group in the Greater Boston Area that keeps our general
meeting attendance at a consistant 15 to 20 people with special events
occasionally drawing even more.
That said, we started out with meetings of 4 or 5 which at the time I thought
was unbelievable!!! Now I am disappointed if we have less than 10 people for
most functions. (Although some events like Brikwars are pretty specialized so
head count tends to be lower at those events).
I guess what I am trying to say is that if there are 3 or 4 people in an area
outside of the Greater Boston area don't feel shy about having a meeting. I
personally couldn't travel very far very often for a meeting but every once in
a while a change of scenery would be nice. Also there are things like Train
Shows in other parts of New England that I would love NELUG to participate in
but without a local contingent to organize the display it makes it nearly
impossible to pull off. Right now I know there are Greenberg shows in Hartford
and Providence along with the Wilmington MA shows that we currently do.
I would definitly make it for a day at one of these shows and make sure the
NELUG tables were available along with some of my MOC's. I just can't commit
to all 3 days when the commute is so long.
Either way we love having new faces at our Waltham meetings so if you can't get
a group going elsewhere and you can make the trek then we would love to see
you.

Just one final reminder - dinner tomorrow night at Bison County in Waltham, MA,
across from the Construction Site (www.constructiontoys.com - address at top of
page). Time: 7:30. Place: Bison County Special Function Room. People will
gather at TCS across the street probably half hour or so before.
Update: Unfortunately Michael Lachmann has to return to Austria tomorrow to go
to work on Wednesday. He sends his apologies. Abner and Ryan are still coming
to my knowledge.
Please show up, its going to be a fun time!
PS - can anyone get me a ride to either North Station or Wenham after its all
over, or evne possibly pick me up in Wenham as well? If not, I have a backup
plan, but that would be nice.

Make tha I-95, I think. Aah, those two numbers confuse me here... Anyways, the
Mapquest directions won't confuse you :-)

Hey everybody -
I would like to invite you all to a Legofest at The Construction Site and Bison
County (they typical NELUG hangout/meeting spot) on Feb 13. Dinner is at 7:30,
and feel free to come to TCS earlier to mingle and look at the LEGO selection.
What makes this Legofest special? We have 3 out-of-towners coming - Michael
Lachmann (author of MLCad), Abner Finley, and Ryan Dennett. This is an all-ages
gathering.
We will be gathering in the Bison County special function room like many times
before - an ideal setting for bringing and setting up MOCs and showing them off
before food arrives.
Directions - The Construction Site is located at:
248 Moody St
Waltham, MA 02453
(Bison County is right across the street)
Mapquest provides excellent directions from I-93/128. TCS/BC is two blocks away
from the Waltham stop on the Fitchburg line of the Commuter Rail as well.
Please email me or post if you plan on attending. Thanks!

Yup. The Runnel Transports were at the end of the Lego aisle, away
from the rest of the kits. I also scanned all the other clearance
bins - found other non-Lego-related bargains.
