Hi, Great input! Here's some misc. comments and ramblings: In defense of Saturday's arrangement, I think we were interested in getting set up, and not spending a lot of time moving the ~80? chairs in the room and then having to re-set up the (...) (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hi y’all! I was thinking that a basic floorplan of the next meeting posted on a page/section of the baylug site might not be such a bad idea. Here’s why. 1. Given the number of members showing up and knowing what they’ll bring, it would help with (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Hi, Contest du jour: I have an office "air-quarium" (glass enclosed volume to put stuff in) that is 10 bricks deep, and about 65-70 bricks long, by about a foot high.

Keep those suggestions coming! I'll make a collection and then summarize it to the list. As for trains, I have a few ideas there as well; PNLTC uses a 9-V transformer (power pack) instead of 12-V, which keeps little hands from achieving break-part (...)

I like the access to the parking lot without having to wind through the whole library and get stuck in a back room somewhere. (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Well, the grab bags have come together, and I hope people like them! This time the $10 bag features about $18-worth of LEGO -- about a 45% discount off MSRP!

Car troubles again, I need to spend tomorrow fixing it. I had said I wanted 2 grab bags - if there are some left, I STILL want 2, but if people there want them, sell them, don't get stuck with them until I can afford to come pick them up. (25 years ago, 21-May-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
