Cool. From hearing some of the rants about the childrens' behavior, I'm kinda

I definitely would have brought a bunch....

Were there any individual speakers or even recognition or introductions? Or
was it more like a fair and just had exhibits and the people pretty much stuck

And by any chance was Matt Chasse there? He's the TLG rep for the Chicago

weeks. Since he's moving to CT soon, he most likely could have been there. I
met him at a Lego expo at a toy store a couple months back.
