Well, to recap what I have for information so far.
1) We don't have an organized display. By that I mean that it isn't confined to
one theme. There will be lots of Mecha & Space and a couple of sculptures. I
would like to throw together a train if at all possible too. Anything you want
to contribute will be welcome.
2) Lego will provide the tent, 8' x 3' tables (if we want to use theirs),
security, and electricity. The rest is up to us. We provide the MOCs, crowd
control barriers (for our tent), chairs/stools, refreshments, etc. The whole
show is set up to be hands-on. If we do not want kids to jostle and grab for the
MOCs, we need to have some sort of method to rope off our table. I'm currently
thinking of PVC pipe and some yellow "construction" tape. There won't be any
table skirts, and thus, you can see under the tables. We will either have to
store boxes and containers in our cars, or bring (nice) skirts of our own.
3) Be sure to bring sunscreen and plenty of water. 8 hours outside at our
altitude and temperature will take it's toll. The event is outdoors, so plan
accordingly.
4) Our location will be at the Pavilions on the 16th St. Mall somewhere. The
exact location and parking area will be a last minute thing. I don't have exact
times of the event, but figure on setting up 8-10am on September 5th and tearing
down in the late afternoon on September 7th. Lego will provide overnight
security to make sure that nothing walks away. If there is something that you
are overly concerned about, feel free to remove it from the display and keep it
with you overnight.
5) Our job will be mostly to entertain kids and answer questions. They will be
given a card at the beginning of the event. To complete their "Model Showcase"
they will need four stickers, one of which comes from our tent. Other cities
have created an "I Spy" game so that the kids earn the stickers. I think it
would be a good idea to have some sort of plan for this, as I haven't given it
much thought.
6) I will have Lego-supplied, gray event T-shirts for everyone participating
(let me know your size). Public Relations folks will be in bright yellow shirts
- Lego event staff in white shirts. Please don't wear the event shirts in "adult
establishments", or drink alcohol in public while wearing them. At least until
the events are over.
7) I will e-mail you an Exhibitor Agreement to fill out and bring to the event
for liability coverage
I hope I haven't left anything too important out. If I have, I will post an
update here. Any and all Colorado FOLs are welcome to participate.

Yikes! I haven't been checking the local pages in a while and almost missed out
on this.
I would love to participate. I imagine you guys have hashed out some of the
details in private. If someone could send an email my way and catch me up to
speed, I would appreciate it.
I think a town layout would be best. I would be happy to bring some train
stuff. It would be cool if we could put together an RTD Light Rail or
something.
I'm in the Springs, but I could definitely make it to Denver for that weekend.

Major schedule slippage. I might have something new by the time the road
show rolls into town... :-)
Due to the other ten stops that were added, our date has slipped to
September 5th through 8th.

OK, it's official: http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=2090
I have Bryan, Soren and myself contributing models for the display. From the
experience that Soren and I had this weekend at the Boulder Public Library,
I can honestly say that we can use a whole lot more (MOCs, baseplates &
buildings/backdrops) for a display of this size. There will be plenty of
room. The tent is a 10' x 12' hexogonal as shown here:
http://www.tentnology.com/pdf/marqspecs.pdf
Just trying to keep this fresh in everyone's mind. I would love for this to
become an annual event.

OK. FYI it looks like the schedule just slipped by a week to the weekend of
August 16th.

OK, here's a follow-up to the previous post. The Lego Road Show 2003 will be
coming to town (Denver, exact location TBD) in early August. To make this
event different from other tours that TLC has done, we (Denver FOLs) have
been asked to show off some of our creations. The thought is that if we can
show the public the cool things that we have built with our collections, it
will leave a longer lasting impression with the public than a show that is
entirely company sponsored. I feel that this is an awesome opportunity to
create a synergistic relationship between fans of the brick and TLC. It
generates interest in the Lego Brand as well as the fan community. After
all, who doesn't love to talk about their hobby? Why not do what you love
and build a relationship with the company that makes it all possible while
you're at it?
I would like to get a feel for the interest level so that we can start a
preliminary display layout. If you are interested in actively participating
or just contributing MOCs please drop me a line.

For those that are into robotics and such, I thought this would make an
interesting sort of competition. Not really my sort of thing brickwise, but
fascinating none-the-less.

Hi!
This is a periodic "call for information" regarding the dates of formation
of all LUGs, LTCs, MUGs, etc., around the world. I've been maintaining a
comprehensive list for the past couple of years...
http://news.lugnet.com/org/dates
which I'm thinking of putting into a database format, and I'd to get all
of the ?'s resolved into solid dates. If you are a founding member of any
of the following groups/clubs listed below, please take a few moments to
check your records against the date shown. Also, if your group/club is not
listed on the page shown above, please let me know!
Thanks!!!

site which is not prepared, sponsored, authorized, or endorsed by

4. LUGNET and its owners and/or operators do not control or censor
content in discussion groups. The LUGNET discussion group server
is provided as a "store and forward" mechanism "as is" without

TO MONITOR OR FILTER CONTENT TO A LEVEL APPROPRIATE TO YOURSELF

parent(s) or guardian(s) for permission and/or supervision before
using this service and make sure they have read and understood
this Terms of Use document.
5. You will not hold LUGNET or its creators, owners, operators,
or related entities responsible or liable ("indemnify and hold
harmless") for the inability to connect to or use this site,
or for any lost or corrupted data, or for any defamatory or

in any medium, and to
ii. Sublicense to third parties the unrestricted right to
exercise any or all of the foregoing rights granted with
respect to the communication.
8. You understand that LUGNET owners or operators are regular LEGO
fans just like you, and that when they post to discussion groups,
their opinions and comments are their own and do not necessarily
reflect the opinions or policies of LUGNET.
9. You understand that LUGNET and its owners and/or operators have
no obligation to acknowledge, mediate, or otherwise settle any
disputes or differences of opinion which may arise between users.
Although we hope that everyone can play well together, we must
reserve the right to allow or to refuse access to this site to
anyone, for any reason, with or without prior warning or explanation.
Additional terms and conditions appear below.
DISCUSSION GROUP TERMS AND CONDITIONS
LUGNET includes discussion groups which allow feedback and
interaction between users. LUGNET and its owners and/or operators
do not control or censor messages, information, or files delivered
to discussion groups. It is a condition of your use of the
discussion groups that you do not:
1. (do not) Restrict or inhibit any other user from using the
discussion groups.
2. (do not) Falsely present yourself as a representative, employee, or
official of a LEGO company or of LUGNET through the accidental or
deliberate use of trademarks or servicemarks in your identity or
through misleading or confusing statements in your postings.
3. (do not) Post anonymously or post any message in which the 'From:'
header is not an e-mail address under your control. (Spamblocks
are OK, however, so long as it is possible for a reasonably
intelligent human to reconstruct your e-mail address using clearly
documented instructions, which you must include in each such message.)
4. (do not) Post using a pseudonym, alias, screen-name, handle,
alter-ego, meno, or any other type of name which is not your own
or which hides your true identity, unless your real name and identity
is clearly understood, accepted, and documented by the community as
the true identity behind such messages.
5. (do not) Post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, abusive,
libelous, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or
indecent information of any kind, including without limitation any
transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would
constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or
otherwise violate any local, state, national, or international law.
6. (do not) Post or transmit any information, software, or other material
which violates or infringes upon the rights of others, including
material which is an invasion of privacy or publicity rights or
which is protected by copyright, trademark, or other proprietary
right, or derivative works with respect thereto, without first
obtaining permission from the owner or right holder.
7. (do not) Post or transmit any information, software or other material
which contains a virus or other harmful component.
8. (do not) Post non-plain-text content such as HTML, multi-part MIME
messages, or so-called "binaries" including but not limited to:
images, sounds, multimedia files, computer programs, and blocks
of text created using binary-to-text conversion utilities such
as BinHex, uuencode, btoa, and PGP message encryptions (short
PGP signatures, however, are permitted by the server).
9. (do not) Post information or material for commercial purposes which
is not reasonably related to LEGO toys or which contains advertising
which is not reasonably related to LEGO toys.
10. (do not) Post or re-post a message excessively, especially unsolicited
advertisements, even if they are directly or indirectly related
to LEGO toys.
11. (do not) Post auction announcements, updates, or listings in
discussion groups which do not explicitly welcome their presence.
[If you are unsure whether auction spam is appropriate in a given
discussion group, check the group's descriptive charter. If the
discussion group's charter does not explicitly say that auction
postings are allowed in the group, then such posts are not welcome.
Currently, the only LUGNET discussion group which allows auction
spam is lugnet.market.auction, which was established specifically
for auctions.
12. (do not) Stray hopelessly off-topic without moving the discussion
to a more appropriate location. (There is a fair amount of leeway
here, since it is natural for discussions to drift, and moving
a discussion can sometimes be inconvenient or difficult. If in
doubt, appeal to common sense.)
13. (do not) Cross-post excessively, since many newsreader software
programs do not handle cross-posted articles elegantly or
transparently.
LUGNET, its owners, and its operators have no obligation to monitor
the discussion groups. However, LUGNET and its owners and/or
operators reserve the right at all times to disclose any information
as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, or governmental request,
or to edit, refuse to post, or to remove any information or
materials, in whole or in part, that in the sole discretion of LUGNET
and its owners and/or operators are in violation of these terms and
conditions or of applicable law.
If you choose to use any mark owned by the LEGO Group as part of your
identity, you do so at your own risk. LUGNET can neither advise you
nor protect you if you infringe on the rights of the LEGO Group.
However, there are some common-sense guidelines which you must follow
as additional conditions of your use of the LUGNET discussion groups:
14. If you use a LEGO mark as part of your identity, and you are not
an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, you must include
an appropriate disclaimer in each post you make, noting (a) that
you are not associated in any way with the LEGO Group and that
your posts are unofficial and do not represent the views,
opinions, or policies of the LEGO Group, and (b) that the mark
or marks you are using are owned by the LEGO Group.
15. If you are an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, and
you wish to post as such, you must clearly indicate your title,
position, or relationship with or within the LEGO Group. Your
employer may also require you to include a disclaimer protecting
them from your personal opinions.
16. If you are an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, but
you wish to post on your own behalf as an independent LEGO
enthusiast and not as an employee or representative, you are not
required by LUGNET to disclose your affiliation. However, your
employer may have its own ideas about your participation; if in
doubt, consult your employer for appropriate posting guidelines.
The foregoing is not legal advice, and LUGNET and its owners cannot
guarantee that it is a bullet-proof formula for avoiding the dilution
or infringement of marks owned by the LEGO Group or for circumventing
rules which your employer may impose upon you. Questions on the
nature of trademarks or servicemarks should be directed to a
qualified legal professional. If in doubt, it is probably wisest
simply to avoid the use of LEGO trademarks as part of your personal
identity.
DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES
LUGNET and/or its owners, creators, operators, and/or related
entities make no representations about the suitability of the
information contained in the documents and related graphics

failure to provide or delay in providing any software, document,
