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...

Mark & All,

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. :-)

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

(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. ;-) ))

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.
