Greetings.
I’m building a scale model of a Great Lakes lighthouse, and I’ve created a
Flickr photo set
that shows the progress. Check it out now and then if you’re interested in
watching it grow.
Happy building!

Greetings to my fellow Michigan AFOLs!
The third annual Brick Bash will be held on Saturday, March 24, in Ann Arbor.
Brick Bash is a public LEGO exhibition for all ages, where we present many
different LEGO creations and hands-on experiences for the public to see and
experience. Last year we had thirteen exhibitors and 700 visitors. An
additional feature of Brick Bash is education, and to that end we also include
some hands-on learning experiences, such as free robotics lessons provided by
one of our Gold Sponsors, Rocks and Robots summer camp.
All AFOLs are invited to come show off their LEGO creations and have some fun
for a day. Admission is free, for both exhibitors and visitors. This invitation
is for individuals as well as the whole LUG.
Let me know if you’re interested. More info at www.BrickBash.com.
Thanks,
Duane Collicott / Bricks for Brains

purpledave -
I can't send you email becuase your mailbox is full. Please email me re: Brick
Bash with you are able to communicate. In the meanwhile, here's my reply to your
email:

I certianly appreciate your interest. The thing is, I think I'm running out of
space. That's the only thing I'm sweating about Brick Bash. For a change, I'm
actually on schedule as far as planning, but the capacity issue is possible
going to bite me.
So, while I'll say "go ahead and show up" I also need to say that you might be
squiched in with everyone else and you might not be able to show evrything you
bring. The idea of demonstrating MLCad is a good one. I'll have a VGA projector
and a microphone (and hopefully a wireless mic), so if you want to do that kind
of demo it would be great.
Next year I'm going to have to find some place much bigger. I was very surprised
by the response I got from AFOLs this year compared to last year.
So what do you think? Let me know if you still want to come.
- Duane

Greetings to my fellow AFOLs in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana!
(you may have also seen the general announcement, but this is an invitation
specifically to AFOLs in my area...)
On Saturday, March 11, I will be hosting the second annual Brick Bash, a
public LEGO-building party in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I am looking for AFOLs in
the area come and exhibit their creations. The event will be from 12:00 until
6:00, there is no admission, and I will be providing food and drinks.
The Web site for this event is www.BrickBash.com.
This event has several purposes:
- Evangelism: Introduce more of the general public to the LEGO building hobby, creating new hobbyists of all ages and bringing adults out of their “dark ages”.
- Fun: Provide a regional event for AFOLs to display their work to the public and other AFOLs.
- Education: Raise awareness of my educational work, Bricks for Brains (www.BricksForBrains.org), which is being established as a not-for-profit organization.
If any of you are interested in exhibiting, please contact me at
duane@collicott.com.
By the way, this is a family event. Therefore, MOCs should be selected
accordingly.
Thanks!
