  something nelug could do
 
Ok, so here's something we (or other LUGs, for that matter) could do: try to arrange a slightly-formal meeting with an actual representative of TLG. We could show them stuff we've done and talk about how immensely huge the adult lego fan base is, (...)

  Re: something nelug could do
 
I would recommend against such a thing. sounds unprofessional. TLG may only find such request for contact annoying and see it as coming from a niave view. It also may just support their vision of fanatical young men who live for toys and sci-fi. (no (...)

  Re: something nelug could do
 
(...) Alright. Just an idea. I was thinking in particular of <URL:(URL) -- *gasp*, actual acknowledgement/support of user groups. I realize that we're not TLG's target audience for a lot of things, but they _have_ at least acknowledged a lot of (...)

(...) I also live for Oreos and Dr. Pepper. Oh yeah, and the Simpsons. :-, Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos, lugnet.loc.us.ct, lugnet.loc.us.vt, lugnet.loc.us.nh, lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Simpsons (was:Re: something nelug could do)
 
(...) Yeah.....Simpsons..... Funny little story: The Simpsons was on at 10:00pm here in Chicago for quite awhile. In September they removed it and replaced it with Frazier. Well, apparently the station received quite a few complaints because it is (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: something nelug could do
 
(...) Yes, very good. :) I was aiming for something a little more serious/professional...p-unquote. But Suzanne is probably right in saying that would be difficult to accomplish. (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: something nelug could do
 
(...) Acknowledgement is something the company may find neccessary, whether the outward stance be true or feinged. I'm not holding my breath for anything more positive (and true as well). I think your Palm organizer example is a good one in that, (...)

  Re: something nelug could do
 
(...) Yeah, I'm tempted to agree. If we want to set up a meeting, we should have a specific purpose to the meeting other than just to say "hey, we're here!" Perhaps if we want to set up a grandiose-type event and want their input, we could get a (...)

  Re: something nelug could do
 
(...) Perhaps it would be worthwhile to ask the art dept in CT about helping with a future S@H cover. I'm thinking: lending models for their photographing or some .dat art made to order... Usually art directors are open to people who are willing to (...)
