Thanks Eric! I think we are up to around 15 offical members now. Meetings
seem to take place every two to three weeks.

Well, we did storm the store. The Potomac Mills manager was trying to hold
us
back and stopping us from taking photos.
We met the manager of the store and she was really nice. She gave us a big
chunk of offical LEGO carpet leftover from setting up the store. She is
really interested in our group and plans on referring people to us. We
left
a bunch of flyers there at the store. We also went around to other patrons
in the store and asked if they were "an adult fan of LEGO?" and if there
were we gave them a business card and a flyer. Hopefully we will get a few
more members soon.
We also got to speak to a few LEGO reps about our ideas. Nothing will
probably come out from the consversations though.
More can read about the meeting on the our web page,

| (...) I should clarify this. It was a woman who worked for the mall itself, not the store that told me I couldn't take pictures in the mall (oops!) :) KL (24 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.org)
