Ooops, I did'nt realize I did that! I understand, often people mispell my
name and it drives me crazy, of course nothing like the trouble you go thru!
I got it now it's "Jesse" !!!

I think what I was trying to say was that some of the Lego I have can be
hard to build into Robots/Mecha, so building them into a space craft is
something I had considered.

Jesse, Brickfest 2001 is being held in Virginia this year I belive. So if
next year the same folks manage to have Brickfest 2002 in the same area,
that could be a good place to meet.
Also, I too have trouble getting my Ideas to paper. Some of my friends are
great illustrators and I leave all the drawing to them! I just love to build.
Oh ya, Todd is a great builder so that's cool that you asked him. I'd like
to meet him too one day.

We'll see! One of the things I always wanted to do is pack all my Robots up
into my Car or a Van, then just go driving around the country and show my
Robots on tour at places all over the U.S.!!!
What are you building now. Try to get those pix of your stuff you were
talking about. Thanks again Jesse.
Eric
