There seems to be enough positive response even after Brickfest, so lets do
this! :-) We'll have a DixieLUG meeting this month!
Where: Jason Whittenburg's house (Smyrna, GA)
When: Saturday September 18, 2004 - 1:00pm EDT
Directions: http://jasonwhittenburg.com/directions
Agenda: Get feedback on creations, check out creations by others,
meet new people, swap parts, part of a set, talk about doing another
show, hang out, and talk about LEGO.
Visit the DixieLUG website at http://www.dixielug.org and mailing list for more
information.

We'll have a DixieLUG meeting at my place (if anyone shows up [grin]:
Where: Eric Harshbarger's house; Auburn, AL (email me for directions)
When: 24 April 2004, starting around 11am... going till 5 or 6 pm or so
Agenda: I don't care... anything. Bring stuff down to show off...
discuss plans for Brickfest 2004, etc
I don't have anything new to show off really (except a partially built
mosaic of the Fort Worth Skyline). What I REALLY what is to rummage thru
minifig parts (yes, minifig parts). I have a need for many basic
minifig items:
- waiter torsos, black arms and legs, plain expression faces.
I would like to casually trade for the pieces, and would happily rummage
for hours through folks' minifig collections if they have some they
don't really want.
Folks are welcome to look through my collection for trade possibilities
and such.
Anyway... if you are sure you will come down, please respond to this
post, so I have an idea who might show up. I'll be at my place all of
that day either way, but if no one responds definitely, then I'll not
really be expecting anyone.
Cheers,
Eric Harshbarger

Date: Saturday Janurary 10, 2004
Time: 1:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Place: Jason’s Home (email me for directions)
Current plans for the gathering include:
- Catching up after not having a December meeting :-)
- Another ‘part out’ of a set? Vote in the the DixieLUG mailing list
- Miscellaneous brick sorting/trading. Folks are encouraged to bring any large tubs of unsorted pieces they have (we like to rummage through such things)
- Bring any MOCs you want to show off (moonbases, etc).
- DixieLUG organizational talk
- We can figure out eating plans for dinner and even shopping at the meeting. This is Atlanta and there are many decent options.
- Other suggestions welcome
BTW, Eric H has mentioned he is still on a quest for just about any
printed/decorated tiles (any size, but especially 1x2s) and trading for many
different things so bring those along for trading, selling, donating.

eric@ericharshbarger.org)
Current plans for the gathering include:
- Another 'part out' of a set, 4099 - Robobots.
- Miscellaneous brick sorting/trading. Folks are encouraged to bring any

on (the 924[x3] Space Cruiser, Crayola Crayon Box, etc).
- DixieLUG organizational talk.
- other suggestions welcome
- we can figure out eating plans at the meeting... there are decent

BTW, I am, personally, still on a quest for just about any

those along for trading, selling, donating... if anyone needs basic
bricks in trade, I can probably accommodate you [grin].
Somebody got some Lime Green tiles at the last meeting? I might be

James,
I'll be going, but I'm going to be up in NJ the week
before. Ruth and I will be leaving later in the day
on Sunday to get back here. Doesn't look like it
matches up with your carpool plans, unfortunately...

Welcome (in advance) to Florida! :) I hope there are good reasons for
the move!
I wish I could be there to welcome you in person, but I'm a little far
away... about seven and a half hours, as Mapquest sees it! But if
you're relocating on some sort of permanent basis and you ever happen to
make it down to Disney, I'd be thrilled to see ya again and to show you
my Lego train layout in person. :)

|

OMG, I will actually be in the state that weekend (just jinxed myself to get
called away), I travel a lot but I should be there if there are no chanages
to my schedule!
Don't know if I'll bring anything as the current status of the Lego studio
is best described as CHAOS! Hope to see quite a few of you there!
