What came before ATL???
I did. :-)
Back in 1986 when I came out of the proverbial "Lego closet", it was just me and
TLC (I know--- how pretentious!!!!!!).
And then there were a few referrals from TLC Enfield.... the Canadian Broadcast
Corp.- I was on TV in Canada (Lego is not just for kids) on "The Journal", this
was rebroadcast in the USA and in Germany; I was also contacted by an advertising
agency called Magic Lantern Inc. - they wanted me to do some LEGO constructions
for a commercial; and of course there was Henry Wiencek, the author of "The World
Of Lego Toys", who interviewed me (page 30).
Back in the 80's when I was plundering the toy stores of the American midwest and
northeast, as well as southern Germany, I felt all alone in the LEGO Universe....
that is until the ATL/RTL and then LUGNET came into being, and I discovered
VOILA!! there is intelligent Lego life out there.... I am not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I've found intelligent Lego Life in the Universe!!!! And its' teeming with
intelligent life!!!
Now I no longer feel alone or ashamed!!!
