Yup.  I keep waffling back and forth on whether or not I can go to NWBC, and

after a train show because I'm one of the guys who's always standing and
talking to people.  But I'd be sorely disappointed to book holiday time,
drive some 15 hours (or book a $$$ flight), to spend my time saying "Yes,
Lego makes trains."

We are going to have plenty of stuff going on that is non-public. All of
Friday is being set aside for AFOL meet and greets, and general MOC showing
and whatnot.

I sincerely hope you would not stay home just because of public MOC
displays. :^(
