Eric & All,

Hey, all the creations on display look great, wow some of these buildings
and giant space ships ar very cool. I'd enjoy doing a display like this.

It was really fun, even with a few of the problems, such as an out of the
way place, not enough room, etc. But it was definately something that is
pretty new for the LUGNET community. I hope more groups can do it,
especially for space and castle fans. I think castle would have fit right
in, with the fantasy element as well.

More to come in the future I hope. Some of the creations there I don't think
I've seen before! I'm a Sci-Fi kinda guy! Did other people from the public
enjoy or relate to the creations you folks had?

The response was really positive, we had a blend of traditional town adn
Space, so people would recogize it. We added soime definite future stuff
too, such as a compressed wate rprocessing plant, fusion reacotr, hover
cars, etc. I think we can focus more on Sci-Fi stuff next time, i would love
to build a huge space port next time.

One time I displayed my
Robots at a Comicon Convention, I think the people we'nt used to seeing the
Artist standing next to his Creations. You'd figure the folks there would be
into that sort of thing, it was a mixed crowd.

Hmm, interesting.

Anyway, I've done exhibits
and shows for years, but I never showed my Robots with other Lego Builders.
You guys are lucky.

Maybe I could join in on a future show with a Sci-fi related theme?
We'll see.....any way congrats on your displays! Good job.

Thanks, and as we always say, the more the merrier! : )

I just want to express my appreciation to MichLUG for proving to SF fen
that LEGO really is still cool, even at our ages. I'm from Columbus (and
a sort-of member of BLOC), I was at Contraption for the first time and
stopped in the LEGO room several times on Saturday. My favorite was the
Gungan processor. :-) (And my wife, who was also there, told me that if
I bought as much brick as was in that room, she'd divorce me. <sigh>
(Not really, but she could tell that I wanted to take all of it home
with me. ;-) ))

Now I just have to convince BLOC that we can put together something like
this at Marcon...and convince my fellow Marcon concom members that it
would be a good thing to set aside a room for...

Thanks, it was a fun time, plans are underway for a better display next round!

Well, I wanted to as well. Trevor might have a *slight* problem with that,
however. ; )

Now I just have to convince BLOC that we can put together something like
this at Marcon...and convince my fellow Marcon concom members that it
would be a good thing to set aside a room for...

It is fun, and something I think MichLUG or any other LUG can do, so I hoep
it goes well for you! Thanks for the compliments, I lvoed Trevor's
processing ship too!

Well, the Blacktron capital ship is no more.  About 1/3 to half of the
pieces have already become Ravenstone Keep, the centerpiece of my medieval
village.  Check it out at http://www.gunth.com/lego/castle.htm --no pictures
of the keep but the Inn is pretty cool.  This will go on display at the
church event and, if we have the space and think Castle is approp., future
SF conventions.
