I like the sound of that idea. As a mecha builder (as far as i know one of the
only ones in the midwest that uses lugnet) I really like the idea of a non

If chiLUG is put together, you can count me in. I am located within an hours

Thanks for bringing up the topic Felix, and i hope that more people like the
idea of a chicago lego users group as well!
