Today was the ninth Sydney get-together on a very nice Autumn day.

A fairly lowkey meeting this one, what with International and Interstate
transfers looming and loomed, and regulars involved in non-brickly matters.

Luckily James and Richie had lots of creations to ooh and aah about,
unfortunately no photographic evidence was taken.
Our visitors Glen and K arrived as James and I were Bionicle mask-swapping,
and must have thought they had stumbled upon a Pokemon self-help group.
Especially given my time-consuming mask-accounting procedures.

Shorthand BrikWars were a success, this being my first time as fully-fledged
competitor. Lots of heavy weaponry was deployed, with mainly collateral
damage the result. Though the old woman who lives in the shoe had her prized
mango tree at the end of the garden totally obliterated after 10 direct hits.
The tree was just in the wrong place at a dozen different wrong times.

Must remember to do some more target practice with these weapons, there was a
lot more damage done on rebounds to the firers than to the intended targets.
Even fired at point-blank range, success wasn't guaranteed.
The wizard I was in charge of copped a full force rubber-stopper to the back of
the head as he was admiring some of Richie's mushroom-house architecture.
Art appreciation as a contact sport will keep them on their toes.

On the (pseudo)orgainsational front, the next meeting will feature Town/City
Legobrickwars (bring your police, your firemen, your irate postal
workers...) and will be held on or around October the 7th (put it in your
diaires). The location is yet to be determined, anyone with a bright idea,
please speak up.

Does this include Fabuland and Belville ?
