Todd,

If you ever happen to be in the San Francisco Bay Area while you're still
meeting people for the book, I'd love to be a part of it.  I and my
colllection will have a 5-minute spot on the Home & Garden channel on their
show "Ultimate Collectors" sometime in April.  I'll make an announcement to
the ng when I have an exact date.  My wife and I were both interviewed and
it will be interesting to see how I and my hobby are represented as opposed
to how it actually is!  The exposure will great, though.

I've often thought of attempting a small documentary about my local club
members (BAYLUG) and "Blockheads" was one of the possible titles I'd come up
with.  Great minds think alike!

I'm constantly amazed by all the great things people build with LEGO. Our eclectic hobby is a rich and expressive nexus of art, science, and humanity. I've often wished there were a simple way to share this amazement with people outside the hobby. (...)
