I look forward to having our group grow.

I think your long-term vision is fantastic. Much more than I had in mind
just trying to pull together the first Hobby Show booth in 2003.

Thanks Allan.

For now, this is a call out to all those talented or creative... we are in
need of a LOGO!
|
How about an image showing a Janey minifig building micros for a Jason
minifig?

Hey, he is supposed to be MY building rat, not the other way around!

He is... granted. But I thought the real truth was that you actually do most of
the building that he takes credit for. At least that’s what you told me. :)
Sadly.... I have just the kind of obsessive personality that might end up making
arrows in as many colors as possible. D’oh! Now look what idea you’ve planted
in my head. Thanks a lot!!
For those who want in on the joke... here’s the deal. Before the Hobby Show
exhibit this year I painstakingly built a replica of an arrow out of red bricks,
to place above a tray filled with flyers for the public to take. In other
words, the arrow was pointing down at the flyers.
Janey, who simply didn’t repect how much time and effort went into my red arrow,
went out and purposefully bought red table cloths to put on our tables. When
you viewed the arrow from behind the booth you were seeing it against the
background of the concrete floor. However, when you looked at it from the point
of view of the public the arrow almost disappeared into the red background of
the table cloths.
Janey, who remember didn’t respect my work to begin with, also didn’t believe me
when I told her that I would have to go home the first night and rebuild my
arrow in a different color. Until.... she went out to the front of the booth.
“Oh yeah, that does blend in.”
And thus was born an arrow of a different color:

And now you know the rest of the story.
All joking aside, without Janey we wouldn’t have had table cloths at all, so it
was great to have them no matter how badly they clashed with my original arrow
design. ;)
