lego sources in the area and called them up for details.

I didn't get an exact description of the plan, but here's what I

to be able to meet face-to-face.

*sigh* Crystal Lake is like a 40 mile drive from Wheaton, but I guess its
worth it :)

(...) I'm surprised that you say its a small store. I figured cause of the size of the website the store would be bigger :) It just seems like for a place to hold an event with a TLG representative and other events as advertised on the site the (...)
