 | | My obligatory NWBC post - too much fun for just one weekend

Hey all, I finally had some alone quiet time to do the picture thing. My images of all of NWBC, as well as a bit of our (Eric Sophie and me) roadtrip, are now online. (URL) I had so much fun out there. It was great to meet new people (Marks 1,2,3, (...)

Yes, I uploaded the same presentation used during the convention, which had 2-3 second timings to keep audience (...)

(...) Eric's on the road again. He just left my place, headed for Felix Greco's. We went and had dinner with my mom and sister last night, and knocked a few back at my local tavern. Good times with good people. And to Ruth, you've got quite the son. (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, FTX)

(...) Good fun! Like Tim said, the timing is a little off 'cause it changes frames just after all the text visualize on some of them. A word of warning for non-broadband users; The file is ~25.2MB! (zipping it it became 24.8MB). (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Perhaps slow it down a couple seconds? -Tim (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

For those of you classic theme fans, the Classic Wars continued at Northwest BrickCon with Episode 3: The Battle Between Good and Shpleem. What is the Classic Wars? Why it's a good natured and prankster-style competition between the castle and space (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) You raise the interesting question of just what is NWBC? NWBC is clearly first and foremost an "expo" event. This is not a bad thing, but participants need to understand that. Now it also happens that NWBC has some "after hours" time where (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon)

I think we'd be likely to actually get more traffic inside any mall than what we got this year. If we simply can't (...) (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, FTX)
