Kudos to our own Janey Cook for coordinating the room and for keeping
micro-scale in the spotlight.

Thanks Ashley, but the real credit goes to all the amazing builders that are
adopting and adapting Micro to levels that are ever expanding and increasing
in detail and design. I was blown away with the quality of the work presented
this year. Thanks to everyone that displayed.

Nonsense! For a long time Micro was that thing that everyone should do, but no
one really did. I started building Micro because Janey cajoled me into it last
year, and then I realized how much fun it was! Every year there is a
coordinator who takes on the job and makes it more than it was before(1). Last
year, Janey took on coordinating Micro and turned it from a fringe theme to one
of the most popular.
This year someone asked me why didn’t such-n-such theme get a better room, or
more builders, or what have you. I told them that what their theme needed was
an energetic, passionate coordinator to bring enthusiasm to the theme. And
Janey is the best example of this.
Of course, Ashley thanking Janey is like Peter thanking Paul. I think Micro is
one of the best LEGO building themes for its unique challenges and innovative
use of parts, and there are no better leaders of this theme than Ashley and
Janey. (I saw Ashley’s micro presentation at PDX, which initially got me
wanting to build Micro)

with how well he decorated his room. It made me want to build Bionicle.

| (...) Wow, Lenny, thank you so much. Your words are more appreciated than you may realise. I also wanted to thank you for inviting me to guest judge the space awards, that personal tour and the open discussion with you, Dan, and Felix opened me up (...)
