The members of GardenSLUG are looking forward to participating. We have one Super Module and at least 3 normal modules. All of us are excited. See you there! BTW, I'll keep an eye out and help get the baseplate numbers pinned down for our group. (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space, FTX)

Okay, this is looking very nice. We're early in the game and already have a very good showing. NWBCon had 40 when the fad was strong, so thats the number to beat.
