Hi all, Let me echo Jeff's sentiments. The walled town looked great, and thanks especially to Troy Ceferati for buildig so many wall sections and towers. It was great to meet so many other people and see other people's stuff for real. You can't (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.events.brickfest)

Wow! I saw pictures of that in someone's gallery of Brickfest snapshots. That's really cool. It seems kind of Ankor Wat -y to me. Was that the ancient structure you were drawing on?
