  We're on the itinerary!

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) Am I the only one who finds this both almost as disturbing as exciting? I realize I'm looking at the page several days after it was originally mentioned, so maybe the text has changed, but the text I see doesn't mention BayLUG or GMLTC or (...)

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) I agree with you, but I'm not sure that this would be any more clear to the average person that this isn't Lego-sponsored, without further explanatory text. (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.events, lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) I find it disturbing that I can only view this with IE for some reason. I have to clear my Netscape Cache but at the moment I can't view it with Netscape. As to your issue with the text... I guess I agree with you to some extent although I (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.events, lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) I'm not terribly concerned about the clarity of the entry. Though yes, it would be nice to have us mentioned by name, its not absolutely necessary, because our events themselves will mention us by name, and so will our literature. Eg, (...)

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) Ya, well said! What I hope we as a community can help LEGO avoid is (to coin a phrase) "fansploitation" -- i.e., taking advantage of or exploiting things that fans did which they wish they'd thought of or done first, since they're getting into (...)

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) Hey, that's kind of interesting from a community-strategic point of view... What you've got there with the signage is an opportunity to let people know -- or at least hint at -- the fact that LDraw is a fan-created and fan-run project/system (...)

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) We at the GMLTC will be very sensitive about that issue. When we display the layout at train shows, we are very emphatic when asked (one of the most asked questions, BTW, right behind "how many bricks are there in the layout" and "how long (...)

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) The ldraw.org site header logo *is* the text of the sign. It will be a HUGE rendering of the 2x3 brick on the site, with LDRAW detailed on the studs, and the words 'ldraw.org, Centralized LDraw Resources' in the same visual arrangement as the (...)

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
We already have GMLTC shirts, through the work of John Neal. He is also working on ID cards for us all to wear, and banners with our logo and url to hang on or above the layout. John is our designated 'public relations' person! I'm really looking (...)

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) Awesome!! (Say, I wonder if they plan on having security guards to stop the fights. ;-) BTW, could "Brag" mean anything special in that context? Or do they really mean the classic kid "brag" as in to make pompous or boastful statements of (...)

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) Haven't checked it, but I'm going on the principle that clone brands have printed items on their studs, and that we aren't saying 'LEGO' anywhere. I honestly do not believe this will be a problem. Just to be sure, I left Brad Justus a voice (...)

(...) buy (...) Ever since I got the LEGOLAND flyer in the mail two or three days ago and read about this Swap & Brag, I've been thinking THIS might be the answer as to where the LDRAW CD could be sold.

  Re: We're on the itinerary!
 
(...) A good idea. It won't be ready (read explanation below), but with sentiments I get from TLC, its their park and they probably don't want it sold *there.* That's how I feel at least. That doesn't go to say they're against the CD-ROM, either. If (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
