Since Dave Johann is still alive, evidently, can you ask him to update you with
status on the various Jambalaya boxes?  He supposedly has at least one in his
possession, and he was going to send me a LUG box last year, but I still haven't
seen it.  If he no longer has email access, can he at least take the time to
update someone who DOES, so they can let the rest of us know what is going on?

Hi,

We had a huge meeting with 24 people in attendance (plus several neighbors
that stopped by).  It felt more like a mini LEGO convention rather than a
little get-together!

If you want to look at the raw pics, then they are here:

Otherwise, here is a commentary:
