I know I did! Christina says she did too, but I know whether she did or not
she'd say that ;)

But was an important introduction into the world of lego trains for those who
were unfamiliar.

I'd like to point out that the Griffon won and moved on to my castle... ;)

Can we try head-ons and other catastrophes next time? :) j/k

Sorry Pat, maybe next time you won't have so much to lug (no pun intended) back
to your car.

Let us hope that we left their house just as we found it, if not in better
shape.

If chads were involved, I want a recount! Well, ok, nah. :)

I'll be the first to put my money down on the counter next time. (providing I
can actually get there when the meeting starts)

Especially now that we know when the next Brickfest will be. We should lock
down some plans to go. I'm gonna try my hardest to go, with TEXLug or not, but
if I get a job (as I am attempting to graduate this summer) I may or may not
get off work. I just don't know yet.
In any case, I had fun this time, and I know I'll have fun the next. See ya'll
then!
