I am interested in reviving TennLUG but I don't know what I can do because I am
just 14. I am crazy about legos and I don't have a terribly large collection.
Most of my stuff is devoted to the lego mindstorms and stopmotion animation
though I have built a few mechs and sculptures but nothing huge (I'd say they
are under 1000 pieces). I check out this forum every so often see if anything
has changed/if anybody is still alive. This is my first post on LUGNet but I
have checked out LUGNet for about a year now. Nice to see I am not the only
Tennessean with a collection of legos.

See that! The guys in Florida Rock! I met people from Florida at Brick Fest, I
say to you guys! Make it happen! Florida has many great things to offer.
That's what is so great about America. Not to sound elitest, its just that each
state contributes to the Union, something we are proud about.

I say when the time is right we should convene a counsel and discuss the
strengths and growth possiblilities to actually and trully make our Brick Fest /
Cons take off and become a true and unique Phenomena.

Right this is where Chicago and or Cleveland and or Mighigan could fit in.
The Uber show of Lego Fandom would happen every Third or Second time a year
round on a cycle.
So if the Major Clubs and People in the Florida and Mid West area can gear up,
just remember there could be a goal of having 4 fests, one at each season, and
the 5th and biggest show being every other year. Question is Who hosts this?
And for all else, please consider for some, that people in Chicago, Cleveland,
and the Mid West and elsewhere, feel that they have just as much to offer as to
where to host.
This is a good thing, something to work on.
All of us should be able to figure out what might be best.
What say you?
Could some of these groups help work towards this or, would any of you like to
offer your thoughts?
Do you think the idea of a Brick Fest/Con happening so that all seasons could
have an event to suit local Fans and potentials, plus the possiblitiy that a 5th
Largest could occur in one of your territories as the 5th Mighty Spur of the 5!
The biggest Show every 2nd year? This show would hopefully be embrased by the
Lego Company and they could be invited to partipate in the Largest show we have?
!!!
There is alot to move forward too. And some really cool possibilities!
Thoughts?

Followups to LUGNET.ORG
I would like to add CARLUG and Midsouth LTC to the LUGMAP. To do so I need to
know the region that you represent. Are both just Arkansas? or are they more
broad. Also what does CAR stand for? C_entral AR_kansas?
The LUGNET Admins may want to add a newsgroup for you as well.

Thanks Eric. Your Brickshelf stuff is cool too. I dig the mantis. You must
have a ton of Ice Planet sets.

Thanks Ben. I been wanting to reintroduce the light mecha class into my
line-up for a while now. the Silverback stands at roughly 7 inches compared
to the nine inches of the Perseus and Thunderlasher.

Check out the "Silverback" Light Assault Mecha in the Martian Colonies
section which is built in the "no-head torso" style in the tradition of my
older mecha such as the Thor, Warlock, and the retired Anubis models, but
more compact and incorporating the techniques I developed for the
Thunderlasher and Perseus models. BTW, the upper-arm design was inspired by
one of Karim Nassar's mecha.

Thanks Scott. Sorry about the re-direction to the credit card site -that's
Webjump's doing, not mine. But go back and check out the rest of my site
when you can. BTW, I definitley plan to attend the next TennLUG meeting, I
wish I could have made the last one, but I had plans for that weekend before
the meeting was even scheduled.
Later,
Todd
