   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)
