I'd just like to know how many people would be interested in attending and on
what days you're free.

November is pretty open for me, but I work on Saturdays- and an all day trip is
likely to be on a Saturday.

I would be free either of the first two weekends of the month, Sunday and/or
Monday.  I'd love to be able to go, too!  Although, maybe we could arrange a
tour with TLG?  I have heard of them doing things like that before, like for Ed
Jones/Boxer (of course, they extended the invitation to him, because they were
photographing his model).  Perhaps we could weasel a similar offer out of them?

I know at the first meeting I was supposed to write up a draft of a letter to
send to TLG, but I hit some very big initial walls in style that I have been
meaning to discuss with the group.  It would, however, better be discussed in
person (email/usenet is nice and all, but it's still too individualised to
facilitate a free-moving flow of ideas).  The problem is, it's looking less and
less like I can make it tonight....

Ok, so, here's the really big issue:  I think that a letter of the type we're
talking about sending is more likely to get a positive and definitive response
if it comes from a single person representing the group (i.e., Hi, my name is
so-and-so and I represent NELUG, etc etc etc, I would love to hear from you
about how you would like our relationship to develop, blah blah blah).  A
person at TLG is more likely to be responsive to a person elsewhere, rather
than to a whole group (IMHO... see the example of the guy who was able to buy
bulk bricks in NZ/Oz as an example.  He forged a personal relationship and
reaped rewards).

The problem is, I was uncomfortable writing said letter setting myself up to be
that person without the approval of the rest of the group.  Beleive me, I have
no probem being that person, I just didn't want to assume the responsibility
for it without the ok of the group.

Right!  So I guess the subject has now been brought up.  Discuss.

(...) I agree that to have a tour would be great. Dan, maybe you could see if there is any way that we could set up a tour and if so if there are any restrictions or minimums for the number of attendees or the time of the week. I know that not (...)

Eric and I are kicking around the idea of a LegoFest in or around Enfield Connecticut (So we can bask in the glory that is LegoUSA). Our target date is sometime after Mindfest, but hopefully before we start to get any significant snow. ie the first (...)
