You should be applauded for taking this on. But at the same time I do have concerns about this (...) (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)

In fact, Worldcon really isn't the official constant name (...) (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)

And talk about a unique souvenir... (...) I have a little bit of practical experience (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)

| | | | | | Hi Mark, Thanks for summarizing your concerns! I got thru most of the old thread and it started to hurt my head! :) Since most of these decisions where made by many people I'll use the word we. But please everyone don't misunderstand that "we" (...) (21 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)

However, was the exclusion of Lugola here an oversight or an intentional slight? Back before Matt took over (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)

WAMALUG is just the local club in the area, and not the organizer of BrickFest. It's mere coincidence that the principals of (...) (21 years ago, 14-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)

| | | | | Steve, I want to say that I think what you've started rolling is very exciting! I'd love to be a part of it, but I have a work commitment that weekend so I won't be in attendance in 2004. That may be an ongoing problem, in fact, so I hope that with (...) (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.events)
