 | | Chicago LEGO Builders Meeting in Deerfield - Dec 18th
|
| What? It's just a meeting, an informal gathering of other lego builders/fans/collectors in the Chicago area. People will likely bring creations to share.

| | | | | Re: Shows over folks!
|
| (...) I'm no longer sure which of those two groups I belong in, but thank you (all three train groups) for putting on a great show! I was present to demonstrate a module for a Great Ball Contraption, and was really welcomed by everybody I bumped (...) (19 years ago, 6-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.clb)
| | | | | Re: Shows over folks!
|
| (...) My 4-year-old son and I spent both mornings there, and on Saturday afternoon, my wife and our 2-month old joined us too. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Some here will think I'm exaggerating, but: we used to live about 40 minutes from Legoland (...) (19 years ago, 6-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.clb)

| | | | | Re: CLB Flyer (was: promoting CLB at the ...)
|
| (...) Ok, I looked over the MichLUG flyer and it is far more train and club display orientated than I remembered. I think it might be better if we started from scratch. Once we have the verbage worked out, I'm willing to lay it out in a pdf. (Or (...) (19 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb, FTX)
| | | | | Re: promoting CLB at the Midwest LEGO Train Show?
|
| (...) Well you could walk around, talk with people who seem VERY interested in the displays, mention the club. I'm not sure what else to do. (...) We don't currently have a flyer, but I'm willing to modify the MichLUG one for CLB use. (I'm guessing (...) (19 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb, FTX)
| | | | | promoting CLB at the Midwest LEGO Train Show?
|
| I'm planning to attend the Midwest LEGO Train Show this weekend. Is there anything I/we could do to help promote the CLB there? I'll have my 4-year-old with me, and won't be able to stand in one place very long, but I could perhaps leave a stack of (...) (19 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb, FTX)

| | | | | Next Chicago Lego Builders Meeting?
|
| On the (URL) yahoo group>, we were talking about the date for the next meeting. We sorta found that the third Saturday of the month worked for the majority.

| | | | | meeting on Saturday?
|
| The 16th is less than a week away -- will there be a meeting? Seems like a good time to be hammering out the details. I'm not sure yet whether I'll be able to make it this Saturday, but it looks promising at this point... - Joe (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb)
| | | | | Re: BrickQuest, anyone?
|
| (...) Cool! (...) Yes, I was thinking that when I looked at the pictures on brickquest.org. I was thinking low walls, 2 or 3 bricks high, would work much better. (...) Hmm, that's a good point. Though building fun could also be had by making more (...) (20 years ago, 18-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb)
| | | | | Re: BrickQuest, anyone?
|
| (...) I might be convinced to drive out there for a session--not necessarily to run, but at least join in. One word of warning regarding everyone building their own modules... I discovered at GenCon 2003 that building up walls on all sides made (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb)
| | | | | Re: BrickQuest, anyone?
|
| (...) I haven't played BrikWars yet, but BrickQuest can be quick, depending on the size of the dungeon. I know Peter typically runs 2hr sessions at GenCon and other gaming conventions. I would be very interested in playing BrickQuest at a CLB (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb, FTX)
| | | | | BrickQuest, anyone?
|
| I just discovered BrickQuest, and glanced through the rules. Looks like fun, and probably a bit quicker than BrikWars (which also sounds like fun). Would anyone here be interested in playing a BrickQuest game some CLB meeting? The chief problem I (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb)

| | | | | Re: Pick-a-Brick inventories?
|
| (...) I don't think the intent is to keep current inventories of every one. But rather, when one of us happens to be visiting a LEGO store anyway, we take a few extra minutes to jot down what they have and type it up when we get home. This doesn't (...)

| | | | | Re: Pick-a-Brick inventories?
|
| (...) Now that there are so many PAB, with apparently more on the way, I wonder if it is even feasible to keep current inventories of every one? I think it's great that these inventories exist and I peruse them whenever I know I am going somewhere (...) (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb, lugnet.inv, FTX)
