Over the lunch hour today I met the Triangle area LEGO rep at the Raleigh Zany-Brainy. A very nice lady by the name of Lisa.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be sure to check out the one in Durham on the 15th to see what's cooking. I saw Twisted Time Trains this past weekend in both KB Toys (NJ) and the VA Lego store. Since that KB had the BOGO 50% sale, I picked up a couple (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Cool. Let's see pictures! Speaking of pictures, the tape that Frank loaned me of the Seattle shindig wouldn't play on my VCR. I got the audio, but the picture didn't sync. Fussing with the tracking didn't help. It's a cheap VCR though, so I could (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc)
