That sounds great! I'll definitely come out for the Mindstorms convention,
so a Legofest does sound in order. I could *try* to get my house for a
*small* event on Friday or Saturday night (there's a Holiday Inn in the
area, and John you have your family..).
If we get in mind what people want to do we can better plan this event. We
could do something after the museum closes on Saturday someplace where we
can set up Lego. Ideas, suggestions?
BTW - that Mindstorms competition has no room for a certain Lego User Group
to set up a display does it? ;)
