Really good pictures Tim!  Very sharp and clear, and you did a really
thorough job.

These are my favorites:

I should be posting the rest of my pictures in the next day.

ParLUGment just had our first showing here in Ottawa, and everybody loved it.
The word "LEGO" was on the lips of both young and old at the Train Show.
Everybody was coming back again and again. It was such a joy to see. The
layout was the most kid-friendly in the show, by being at their eye level
(close to the floor), by the fact that it was LEGO (which most of them were
quick to tell us they had lots of), and by the stickers and book covers that
every parent was carrying around at the show.   :-)
The LEGO display was definitely a huge success.

I've now posted all my pictures. Here's the root folder after moderation:

A huge THANK YOU to LEGO for the event kit. The stickers and book covers were
a huge hit with the kids. They disappeared very quickly. Our only regret was
that we didn't reserve enough space to accomodate a play area. Hopefully with
the response our display got this time, we can claim a bigger area for display
and play area next time. Maybe I'll include my sons growing DUPLO Train
collection in the play area too.   :-)
We met a few LEGO fans from Ottawa that we had not known about previously,
and we had many people asking to buy Train sets, for catalogues, and for
ParLUGment and LEGO S@H information sheets. So hopefully next time we can get
a hold of some of those new Train Posters, and get some business cards or
something to hand out for ParLUGment.
We all had an awesome weekend and plan to make it a regular occurrance.
Play well.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for posting your pictures. The one of the restaurant has the best picture
yet of those fountains I'm so enamoured of. Tim's fountains I think?

Hugs to all, Shirley.

Hi Shirley,

The fountains were Jason's, since he was the only one with an ISD at his
disposal.   :-)
I uploaded a couple more pictures of the fountains for your benefit.

I notice your two 'people' pictures have your wife in them. Yes, Pam is a person
but I think there might have been a few other individuals at the show. :-)

Hi Tim,

Thanks for these pictures! I've added them to my collection and if I win any
money in Las Vegas (leaving on Saturday) I'll buy the ISD and make some. And
thanks to Jason for creating them.

Hugs to all, Shirley.

I would also like to give credit for the following building I built for
the show:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=548573
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=548584

This is Reinhard Ben Beneke's design as can be seen here:

http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=436880

I built a fairly close copy using the ldraw file he had posted.  I must
say it is an amazing model.

Thanks for posting the cad file & renderings Ben, they inspired me to
build it and it looks even better in the real brick!

Kevin
