| Hello, My name is Avi Parvin, Lugnet member 1429, and I’ll be visiting the Bay Area during the month of May. Can you please recommend me about Lego activities, where to see and where to buy?

| Hi, Sounds fine to me, I wanted to enter my grey gondola car in the under 100 pieces contest (it incredibly has only about 90) but forgot to. We could also do TWO (WOW!) contests EACH meeting maybe, can you stand it? Trains AND spaceships (OOOHHH!) (...) (23 years ago, 23-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

| I'm a little nervous about tying the contest to a particular theme, because not everybody is interested in trains. I suspect you'd have a similar reaction to a contest for building a spacecraft.... But let's go with this idea and see what the (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
| | | | | building contest for the next BayLUG meeting

| I propose that the building contest for the next BayLUG meeting be a train car design contest. It should be a free-for-all with no design limitations. We can run all the cars around some track to see what they do, if anything, and then we can vote (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

| Hi, Having expanded THE MOUNTAIN from 2 to 3 baseplates, we used about 50 BURPS so far and it is almost (~80%) done. Of course, we are out of burps now as well.
