Hi all,

Many of those in LUGNET have wondered what was up with SciBrick...the organization had a few postings on its discussion board, there was a debut event in Houston, then...nothing.

Since Houston’s Challenger Center Gala, which happened in October, there has been some events that have happened that have directly affected SciBrick, of which the biggest was the stepping down of Felix Greco as SciBrick Communications Officer. Felix stepped down to take time and attention to his dissertation and further education, and will be missed here, as his work and dedication to SciBrick made it’s debut event very successful.

In his place, I have been appointed the new Communications Officer. Before that, I was Website Coordinator, and have been occupied getting that organized. So I am happy to announce that Scibrick’s website is now online here.

SciBrick’s mission hasn’t changed. In fact, it’s expanded. SciBrick will become the LEGO organization for Science Fiction and Fantasy, and will be in time, a group that will be able to provide its members and their creations a central point to plan displays in conventions, meetings, and other venues not previously conceived.

SciBrick will be involved in upcoming conventions, including both Brickfests next year and members are thinking of contests and other ways of getting people involved with Science Fiction and Fantasy displays.

Some other ideas that are being looked at are:

• theme-based kits under the SciBrick name, like PCS ships. • movie tie-in displays • Displays in museums • Member materials (shirts, etc.)

There will be a lot to do and plan, so SciBrick is also now looking for new members to join. You can go to the SciBrick site and see the membership requirements in the FAQ page and also the current roster of members.

I, as Communications Officer, will always be open to suggestions and comments from the community. Drop a line to my e-mail address above, and I will answer as soon as possible.

So SciBrick is here! Many thanks to the members and those who have helped me out!

Joe Meno SciBrick Communications Officer .space paparazzi!

(...) Hi Joe, Things look pretty good. One thing I notice is that there is only sporadic reference to fantasy. A few places you mention SF&F, but elsewhere the site only makes references to SF. For instance: "Q: What kinds of creations are eligible (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.scibrick, FTX)

(...) Cool! Since my previous post requesting interest in OurCon, I had been sharing the URL of Scibrick with the Con organizers, but at that time it was only a front page. Nice to see there is more now. Naturally, I must ask the same question as a (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.scibrick, FTX)
