What?
It’s just a meeting, an informal gathering of other lego
builders/fans/collectors in the Chicago area. People will likely bring creations
to share. Past meetings have had lots of lego related conversation, ranging from
online buying experiences, to sharing of building techniques, to how to tell
your boss that you dig lego bricks. Also one person expressed interest in
playing the X-Pod
game.
When?
The meeting will be on Saturday, December 18th, 2004 from Noon till approx 4 or
5pm.
Where?
Beth Weis’ house in Deerfield, IL. Email Tim Courtney or me for the
address.

Where?
Ah, now that’s a good question. We are still looking for a good place. We
could have the meeting at Woodfield Mall in
Schaumburg, IL. But that isn’t necessarily the ideal location. A person’s house,
a room at a public library, local church or community center would be better
suited to showing lego creations and conversation without the noise that goes
along with a busy mall.
If you have any ideas about a good location and/or can help find one, we would
be very appreciative.

Last year we had 4 train layouts and 1 castle layout. While we have
named this show a "train show" all themes are welcome. From robotics to
moonbases, anything Lego will make a delightful addition to this event.
