Hi Craig,

I might even drive up for a GA meeting, seeing as how I *seem* to be
the only AFOL in this part of (north) Florida. Macon would be nice, but
I suppose all the GA AFOLs are arounf Atlanta.

hi y'all ~

i've seen the other regional user groups posting on
lugnet, and wondered why there's not one for georgia, or
at least the south-east.(SELUG?) what is involved in
starting a regional user group, or organizing a fest
(fest-ive get together)? i'm game, but wary; but i'm not
wary game.

hey, ray ~

which is why i think SELUG (south eastern lego user group) would be a better
idea. it could unite handfulls of folks from atlanta, florida, alabama, and
tennesee into quite a nice-sized group. please let me hear from y'all.

macon would then be an ideal gathering place as it's in the very center of
georgia. it is a historic tourist town, with great accomidations, and
architecture fans would have a heyday here. sherman never came through macon,
and it still has gorgeous antibellum homes downtown. (i live in an 1860's slave
captain's house, that was a cathouse in the twenties!)

when i'm an old, old man, and have a million lego pieces, i'll build a model
of my beautiful home town. it even looks like a classic lego town sometimes,
with it's downtown train terminal, restraunts and sidewalk cafes, churches and
a glorious gothic cathedral, art deco municipal buildings here and there... and
columns. lots of columns. anyway...i love my home town, and want to throw a big
party for legophiles. 'nuff said!
