Well I don't have a lot of time for a full debriefing but here is a little
appitizer.

NELUG was commisioned about 6 months ago to present at the New England Home
Show in Boston MA.  We were commisioned to build a replica of the new LPZ
Bridge in Boston and a Mosaic of the Boston Skyline.  We also provided bricks
for a play area.

These Pictures are fairly large at the moment sorry...

The Overall View...

The Bridge

The Bridge is approximately 17' long and 7 1/2' tall.  It is comprised of
approximately 20,000 LEGO bricks.


The Mosaic

The Mosaic is approximately 12' x 5' and represents the Skyline of the Back Bay
section of Boston.


We here filmed by 4 local stations including the 3 major networks and "The WB".
I know for certain that we appeared briefly on WBZ Channel 4 Boston (CBS).
Both major Boston Newspapers also took pictures and we should be appearing in
the 2/24 or 2/25 papers.


Seeing this project spans 2 full weekends and the week inbetween there is a lot
more to happen.  There is also a lot more to be said.  We will say a lot more
when time prevents but now you have a taste.


Until I have more time....
