It'll probably be at my house (space limitations). I'll have to have someone
guard the LEGO (heh-heh). I live in an eastern suburb of Detroit.
I wasn't thinking about architecture, but yes that would be a great idea. I
include some building tips on historic styles. Ideally since Detroit (the
oldest major city in the USA between the Appalachians and the Rockies - 298
years old) has the 3rd largest collection of 1920's skyscraper architecture
(after New York and Chicago) a field trip to some of the country's greatest
Art Deco treasures would be great, but probably take too much time.
Chris, if you want to drive all the way here from Missouri, then you certainly
would be welcome to attend.

| (...) Cool Gary! Will non-Michigonians willing to drive be invited? Will it be down near Motor City? How about a workshop on architectural rendering/simulation with LEGO elements? (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
