Hey Scott,
Another LUGNET member told me about your post, so I came to check it out.
The truth is I haven't been a participating member of LUGNET for quite some
time. Another fact you should know; WAFOL hasn't been active for even longer!
Just look at the post dates.
I'd suggest starting a new Wasatch Area Lego club with some friends if you
really want a club to be in. Best of luck. Keep building,I haven't much
since I turned 16!

Hi!
This is a periodic "call for information" regarding the dates of formation
of all LUGs, LTCs, MUGs, etc., around the world. I've been maintaining a
comprehensive list for the past couple of years...
http://news.lugnet.com/org/dates
which I'm thinking of putting into a database format, and I'd to get all
of the ?'s resolved into solid dates. If you are a founding member of any
of the following groups/clubs listed below, please take a few moments to
check your records against the date shown. Also, if your group/club is not
listed on the page shown above, please let me know!

Hey WAFOLs,
Erm, that's probably just me, Joseph, and Barbara...
We probably should get things going again. Have we had any new AFOLs move
into the Utah area lately? Anyone want to hold a LUG meeting?

Sorry I sniped everything out, too much to go through. One thing we should
definately consider for this event is flexibility. Here in Lugola we have
long strived to be as considerate to the distances people have to travel. It
may be best to have brickfest a roving event. I feel that back in April we
had a mini brickfest at Brad Hamilton's house in Irvine where people from
all areas came and were thrilled by Bryce's mechs, Brad's city and all kinds
of other goodies.
Let's look at the particulars, there are a good deal of folks in Southern
California (LA and San Diego); there is also a good number of folks in the
bay area, and in Seattle. This does not even take into consideration the
folks more inland, like Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.
In my vision of a true Brickfest west we would share hosting duties between
Lugola, Baylug, Sealug, Wafol, Bayltc, Pnltc, and Scltc. I would also love
to include our Canadian neighbors as well in Viclug and Vlc. Now we must
consider a couple of things 1. where is "central" to everyone and 2. Is that
location also contain alternative entertainment for our non lego spouses and
children. (This would make it easier for some of us to justify the expense.)
In a nutshell (sorry this post is so long) I would recomend an annual event
that rotated its location and host lug, our first brickfest may be hosted by
lugola, then the next event may be hosted by sealug, etc. etc. These are
just my ideas, please give me any input you see fit.

I don't think I will be able to make for a November meeting. Time, money, etc.
But, I think this LUG box idea is really good, and we shoud do what we can to
help it get off the ground.

Hello all! On November 4, 2000, LUGOLA will create the newest jambalaya box as
outlined in the following thread:
http://news.lugnet.com/market/jambalaya/?n=1493
Once we have the box put together, we need to know who gets it next.
Ideally, it
will go to a LUG that's having a November meeting. We'd like to start this
box
on it's journey by November 6th at the latest. What I'd like to do is
compile a
list of LUGs and their respective meeting times so we can get this box
moving as
quickly as possible.
Do we have any takers?
Remember, I need to know the LUG name, the date of the meeting, and the name
and
email of the person I'll be contacting.
Build well,
-Dave

A couple weeks back I posted a pretty critical but not mean-spirited (IMHO)
critique of the mall tour as it passed near me (reference message Dear Lego
n=2518). I was then contacted by Jeff Ardis the tour manager by e-mail. He
stated that indeed they had seen some of these problems themselves,
particularly in the area of the (usually temporary) workers skills at working
with Lego. I gave him a call and we threw around some ideas which could be
summed up pretty easily and are just preliminary until interest is determined
to exist.
1. The Mindstorms Mall tour would love to possibly have some AFOLs work at
their tour events to hopefully keep the projects running better and provide
some extra enthusiasm.
2. LUGs would be able to set up their own (small) display in with the
exhibit , with the only focus being that it doesn't overshadow the mall tour
itself. Also, two other stipulations touched on only very briefly was that
there should be extra space at each tour stop for this but some malls
basically "cheat" and they have barely enough room for the display itself; and
also that sticking with current product or things made from current product
would be appreciated.
3. Volunteers would be compensated somehow, this was very sketchy but Jeff
sounded sincere and I certainly didn't want to jump to any conclusions what
might be best.
The mall tour ends at the end of the year so Jeff wanted to set up something
quickly. I thought that this should probably be coordinated best at the LUG
level, because if Jeff receives calls from 240 different people I think he may
have other thoughts. Plus if we can do this at a LUG level then I also think
that it will give us a little boost at TLC as far as the quality of our
organizations. I didn't list the Train clubs in this posting but certainly
they would be welcome too. The tours dates and locations can be found at:
http://mindstorms.lego.com/
under the 2000 Mall tour.
I told Jeff I would post this and see what response I got. He was only
somewhat familiar with Lugnet and didn't understand the LUG structure at all
at first. I'd certainly like your opinions on this and I would have certainly
involved you all earlier had I realized that perhaps our phone conversation
would evolve into this. I'd post his phone number and contact information
right now, but I'd really rather see the response before I might throw him for
a loop. This post is meant to check the interest level and solicit opinions.
Matt
PS I also apologize for the rather wide net I tossed in the newsgroups posted,
follow-up probably best posted to: lugnet.org.us

Hi, Nathan! AFAIK, we haven't really formally discussed age limitations.
It has been mentioned that we'd prefer adults (mainly for liability and some
other reasons), though we've had at least one meeting with a minor.
By the same token, we have no concrete membership criteria, either. No
dues, no lists, no charter, nada. It seems we're pretty flexible. :-,
We're also pretty small at the moment (maybe 3 "full-time" members), so
virtually any new face would be welcome.
Perhaps this is something to discuss at our next meeting... Perhaps a
reason to have another meeting? ;-) I dunno about you guys, but BrikWars
is looking pretty keen; perhaps we could try a game or two next meeting.
Cheers,

We might be able to. We have a few things planned this weekend already, but
if it's a last-minute meeting before you go, we should be there.
Barbara found another Legomaniac at work who reads LUGNET from time to time;
I'll try to convince him to reveal himself. :-,
