(...) Starting with a disclaimer--I've never been to a convention (heck, I rarely get to a LUG meeting) and between job and family obligations probably won't be running off to one soon, so my opinion is pretty disinterested here. That aside, I'm a (...) (23 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest, lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) I never made that assuption. There's always some level of interest. I'm pointing out that the level of interest seems to be a tad bit higher some 1049 miles to the south (thanks Mapquest).

(...) Let me assure you NWBC03 is on. We want all comers. We've all been a bit busy up here and I apologise for any lateness in the announcements. It's been a hectic summer, what can I say? Mark Neumann (23 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest)

(...) I've got the same fear. (...) This statement could well be the single most important item in this entire thread. (...) Very true.

(...) It is true that PNLTC is a train club, however, one should not assume there is no non-train interest in the area. I will be running the gaming component of BrickFest PDX, and will be bringing much pirate stuff for use in Evil Stevie's Pirate (...)

(...) I wouldn't be surprised if many BAYLUG, LUGOLA, BAYLTC, SCTLC or San Diego's upcoming LUG joined in to, but I still stand by my original statement as being factually correct: There are no LUGs in the Portland area.

(...) I'm not really party to any of the other arguments, but this statement is factually incorrect. There are quite a few PNLTC members in the PDX area, and another PNLTC contingent and SEALUG are only 3 hours north (in Seattle, obviously). You can (...)
