Hiya!

The second meet here in Milwaukee went just great!  Sarah and I had a really
fun time having some AFOL's over to visit for the day.

Dave Amos of Bricktannia.com from a few hours north of us stopped by first,
and we chatted a while and checked out each other's MOCs.  Next, Bill Farkas
showed up with some awesome custom castle figs and his Guarded Inn.  Shortly
thereafter, Tim Courtney (Ldraw.org) and OnDrew Hartigan arrived with their
MOCs, and we all gathered around to look at Tim's ship as he peeled away
layers to display his typically cool interior work.

Next we hung out in the dining room a little while with Dave's buildings and
some of my newer MOCs.

meanwhile Bill's kids had a fun time chasing our cats around!
(actually they were really well behaved and cute kids... could you imagine
how neat it would be if your dad actually had Lego for a hobby?  I'm
jealous... I mean my mom sewed. ooooooo.)

then we treked downstairs into our Lego Dungeon to watch Sarah build a new
house and Talk Brick.  I also showed everyone my new ship, The Set, although
it isn't quite finished... it's almost done!

OnDrew shared his new train car, and we all discussed NILTC plans:

here are the captions for the last pic...
Sarah: "OnDrew, I elect *you* to be our new sorting slave!"
Tim: "Wow... it's so much later than I planned on staying."

There ya go!  We had pizza too, and a mini Invader Zim marathon!  Fun was had.
We'll probably have another meet around x-mas, so... yeah.

cheers!
