  Re: BayLUG/BayLTC next meeting? (discussion)
 
(...) I am not available on Saturday 9/16 or Saturday 9/30. Otherwise any other weekend until the end of the year is good for me. (...) I think one meeting in September and one in December would be good. (...) 'bout time! :) Russell Clark, (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
 
  Re: Booth monitors and crowd control
 
They only tend to have twin sheets in stock, and that would get REALLY expensive, unless we could talk Brad into sending us a dozen or so sets. If he did, we could even put pillows in the pillowcases for on the chairs for longterm seating ;-) (...) (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
 
  RE: Talking Points
 
I like come-apart comment rather than breaking. I also like the word: disassociate :-D I am surprised the flyers lasted almost 'till the end, but am very pleased they helped. I'm sorry I ONLY MADE 600 copies of the bloody things! Wonder how much new (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

  Re: Booth monitors and crowd control
 
I think alot of the inside room and table problems will be solved with a standardization of tables. If they are all the same general length, width and heigth not only can the planning be completely layout based, but set up should be faster. I know (...)

  Public Thank You for our NMRA show supporters
 
I know I can't name everyone, but I'm going to shoot for 80%, and count on others to chip in with the rest of the names.

  Booth monitors and crowd control
 
X-10 power control. We had a wireless remote control to turn two outlets on or off. These controlled the track controllers for both loops (ckt. 1) and the power to the rotating doggie atop the Spamcake Diner (ckt. 2). Oddly, the RF remote was (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
 
  Talking Points
 
These comments were heard from comments from adult train enthusiasts who visited our display, and might make for good talking point, or maybe be incorporated into another handout flyer... There has got to be some more whimsey in this hobby. (We (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

  Re: NMRA show (the first of many?)
 
(...) No such thing - I consistently moved sets to the inside edges of the modules, and if the kids couldn't climb on each other, they'd have their parents lift them up to get it. I have no problem with kids PLAYING with the Lego. It's the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

John Gerlach says: (...) <snip> (...) I have to agree with this. I don't like the idea of plexiglas. After all, they are LEGO toys!

  NMRA 2000 Successful
 
Well, the show was both stressful and successful. Many positive comments and it looks like we have a good amount of momentum to go on. We even came across a Lego Train Fan who knew nothing of Lugnet or BayLUG, but had been building Lego Train MOCs (...)

  Re: NMRA show (the first of many?)
 
(...) When the GMLTC displayed at the 1999 NMRA show in St. Paul, we received nothing but support from the "real" model railroaders. They would ask questions, make comments, point out mistakes (yea, we're not perfect!), and seemed genuinely (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
 
  Re: NMRA show (the first of many?)
 
While I could only be there on Thursday, before the show actually opened, I knew just from the comments I heard from other contributors that it was going to be a hit.

  Re: BayLUG/BayLTC next meeting? (discussion)
 
I think a september meeting is a fine idea, as well as something in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am available the weekends of the 9th & 10th and the 23rd and 24th.

  Re: NMRA show (the first of many?)
 
Another "future" point that Mike & I talked about: a "drive-in" featuring a laptop showing a looping presentation of LUGNET train MOCs. This file could easily be created as a Powerpoint "pack & go" executable - it could even run on my Jornada 820, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.trains.org)
