I know if there is a Mindfest II, I WILL be there. I'll skip class, spend
savings $$, do whatever to be there - cuz I'll be out of the house and at
college somewhere :) I really wanted to be there this year but the ol parents
put a kabosh on it :( As Ryan mentioned, there were quite a few Lugnetters I
really wanted to meet too who were there. Well, *hopefully* I'll be in Boston
in January...but as a TLG rep told me, good luck getting an internship at the
model shop, they made a lot of changes recently... *sigh*
