Just want to get everyone thinking about this again. As usual, I have only
questions :-) not answers...
Such as who is interested in doing this (hopefully all!) and who thinks
there is a possibility that it could be worked into their schedule (all?)
[Perhaps a mini rollcall answer to this ?]
After reviewing reports from other Train shows, is 20' x 20' as Mike
suggested what we will aim for or are there other suggestions? Should there
be a tenative blueprint drawn up before deciding?
Timetable for building tables?
Planning meeting? or email list for discussing stuff? or just discuss via
lugnet.org.us.nclug?
June seems far away now, but as hard as it has been/is to coordinate to meet
I think it doesn't hurt to start rolling around ideas now.
Also, I am interested in knowing how everyone feels about adding custom
labels to creations. Are any nonLego details okay? I prefer that each
individual have this option. I have no problem with the group deciding
otherwise as long as everyone is told this upfront before building something
special for the show. Any suggestions about what would complement what
others already have for the show would be nice too. Diversity is good,
chaos isn't.
Don't know enough to ask more, but you guys know me... give me more
information and I'll inevitably ask more questions :-)
