When I first approached the event coordinator, I wrote something like "we have
run a number of LEGO-related events in the past...." and she took that to mean
that I was a LEGO rep and responded with more detail to me than she should
have. I won't go into most of it here, but in general terms, she had 'contact
LEGO' on her to-do list to see if they could put something official together.
If that were to happen, perhaps we could ride along to some extent. If any of
y'all have decent personal contact with LEGO people, you might explain the
situation and see what comes of it.

Great! I'm really looking forward to a full schedule of LEGO gaming. But we
do now have to get con buy-in and figure out how we're going to be registering
and stuff.
I wonder at what point we should post an announcement to announce and events
groups and see how many more we can draw out of the woodwork. Isn't there an
IndyLUG or something?

It certainly makes sense to not run them against each other. But I'm not
opposed to having both played. It might be fun to compare them that way...and
even bill them with that ability in mind. We need to remember that we are more
valuable to the con if we can bring more registrants.
