Hey Christina!!
We're having our monthly dinner fri night in T.O.
It may be difficult for you to get all the way to the Big Smoke from Buffalo.
I'll help where I can!

Hello rtlToronto’ens,
I just wanted to know if there are any of you in the Niagara Falls area. I’m in Buffalo till Saturday AM and wanted to see if there was anyone that might be interested in meeting up. If so.. drop me a note.. and hopefully we can work something out. Just drop me a note at : chitchco[at]gmu[dot]edu
Christina
P.S. the GMU account still works even though I no longer work there.

RTLToronto and others-
Sorry up front for the cross-post, but I wanted to get this to the .loc and
.orgs in the area...
I just stopped in a lunch and Marek let me peek at his layout.
It is about 13m x 6m (about 42 x 20 ft), has several bridges (some ZNAP!), and a
large number of buildings, sculptures landscape areas, etc. Wow! All from one
guy who, by the way, hails from Mississauga.
It was pretty quiet there (Tuesday noon) but I expect it should be more crowded
on the weekend when I plan to return with my kids and a camera.
Admission is reasonable (<5$) especially by Niagara Falls standards! As
mentioned after the previous post this is at the Polish Hall in Niagara Falls,
(free parking beside). Marek is trying to make a go of TheBrickArt as a
business, doing shows, exhibitions, events and custom models.
So get off your duffs, RTLToronto, and make a road trip down to beautiful
Niagara Falls, only a 1 1/2 hour drive from downtown Toronto :) I hear there a
couple of other things to see in town....something about a river, or a stream on
some little rocks or something, so come and make a day of it!
I'll (hopefully) be able to post some photo's after this weekend...

Congratulations boys!
It takes me leaving Syracuse for the ball to finally get
rolling... just my
luck... =8^)
Looks like I'll have to form my own LUG when I get off
this 7 day/night work

I have been around intermittently...I was travelling
more a few weeks ago...for now, I am in Buffalo.
> You've completed your move?
Complete is a relative term...lol I will most likely be
moving again in a few month. (don't know where, don't
know when...but I know I will) Basically, most of my
stuff is still in boxes, but I managed to extricate some
clothes and arrange access to much of my ABS horde...
Buffalo?
Yes, Buffalo. Less snow than Syracuse, a little less
sun than Miami...
> Things going okay?
Pretty good so far...
I am adjusting slowly...did a few auctions, completed
some old Lego trades.
> Cats OK?
Cats are temporarily living in my sisters spacious
abode...a virtual palace for cats with lots of rafters,
carpet, hiding places, and sunshine (heck, I wish I were
a cat now!)
I miss them "helping" me sort and "suggesting" which
elements to use by flicking a brick right between my
eyes...
> Lego out of storage?
Actually, most of the Lego is stored away but, I have a
half dozen Rubbermaid containers in the corner of this
room. (Mostly sets I haven't parted out, but there is a
tub brimming with MOCs from before the move...I'll take
pictures when I can)
> sheree
Well, sheree, I hope all is well in your neck of the
woods and thanks for the "Welcome back"...
(I was only away for a couple months...I'll be on-line
more often now)
