Because don't you know that "Do Not Touch" signs only apply to kids, so adults
can do what they want? Nice example to the kids. That was the same complaint I
heard from BrickFest, that it was the adults on public day, ignoring the "Do Not
Touch" signs that did most of the damage.
The whole show was filled with "Do Not Touch" signes so you'd think kids AND
parnets would get used to it. I did see a little kid pour most of a bottle of
Coke into where the baby tiger and loin was, and the dad hardly noticed... I
guess that it was the wild life refuge people's fault for not having a "Please
Don't Pour Entire Bottles of Coke into the Cage" signs up...

I actually told someone the Leonov was the Marine's ship from Aliens... but as a
Kubrick fan, I ignore 2010 (as everyone should).

Haven't done a head count yet, but I think everything is okay. The two
mini-figures I worried about most (two that were closes to the edge of the
table, and not sitting in a ship or vehicle) made it though the weekend!

K, in situations like this, I look to how intelligent people handle themselves--In this case, strategic planning and massive organization was needed. Who better to look to than Napolean? So (...)
