Another first timer from NJ:

I have been on this online community for a couple of years.  And was always
impressed by how wonderful the people treated each other online.  Always
constructive criticism and compliments flow from everyone's posts.  And as
always I was impressed by the talent and artistic-ness of the community.

Then I went to Brickfest DC 2004.

I have been to gaming conventions, Star Trek Conventions and Embroidery
conventions.

I have never met a more welcoming, enthusiastic, happy, bunch of people before.
I am so glad to have had that experience.

The most important thing I learned, thank you DelVaLUG, was that it is easy to
get involved and start up LUG's if there is none in your area.  And that you
could just start with a couple of people if you wanted.
I even realised that without knowing it I was a contributor to the AFOL
community.  I work with the local school to compete in a local robotics
competition using Mindstorms kits.

I also learned there is a First Lego League competition locally that I could be
involved in.

I learned so much at Brickfest I can't even list it all here.

Thank you for being you!  To everyone in this community, you are special people.

Oh and by the way SPACE
