Gary, how are you going to gain anything knowledge from this - you would be
the one giving it.

Go look in your basement...

Same as above...

Larry's house is only a few miles away...

Again, look in your basement...

It looks to me like most of what you want, you already have.  We should all
be so blessed.  :-)

I think that a massive layout of themes would be really cool.  Imagine 10 or
so booming metropolis sized Lego towns all interconnected with a train
layout running through it.  A national Lego Train Convention would be cool,
but I would like to see the possibility of having other themes there as well
in what could be grouped together as the National AFOL convention.  By 2004,
I should be done with my train layout, so plan on having the 2004 convention
in California.  :-)

(...) Here's my top 10 for what I'd like to see at a LEGO convention: 1) a display area that shows every AFOL attending's own favorite creation. 2) a seminar on the history of LEGO (I'd love to participate in this one). 3) an exhibit of LEGO sets (...) (27 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
