On March 22-23, RichLUG participated in the annual Wings ‘n’ Rails Show at the Aviation Museum of Virginia ((URL) here in Richmond, VA.

On the official website, (URL) practically all references to Studios have disappeared. In my catalog they are mentioned in the "Next" product area, but they are not present on the site. Spite Your Face's stuff[1] is also gone, or moved to places I (...) (22 years ago, 27-Mar-03, to lugnet.animation)

That then led me to take a closer look at the IBM Thinkpad laptop PC I currently have as my work computer. That PC has a S-Video output (...)

(...) That's exactly what I'd like :-) LTCs (and LUGs too) could film their events, layouts, as RTL Toronto, and add sound, music, maybe even a minifig in the layout giving a tour. Something like what Eric did would be cool. An idea I've got is the (...) (22 years ago, 21-Feb-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.animation)

Tim, thanks for the positive comment, but I still need people to weigh in with their critiques. I have called for input before and no one has said anything.

Adrian, I am interested in exploring your idea for video like the one Eric and Jeff from RTL showed. Are you thinking about having LUGs and individuals create non-animated videos of their work? I think this would be a great idea. As for the filming (...) (22 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.animation)

Thanks for the suggestions. From everything that I've been hearing, I'm leaning more towards not showing every single entry at the actual Festival.
