I am a little confused on the tense used in the above paragraph. Since the
event
happened on the 3rd and 4th and the post was made on the 3rd (same month)
should
the tense have been past tense? Instead, the tense implied the event was
happening in the future. While I fundamentally agree that a post made at
11:00
AM GMT (7 AM EST) is in the future of an event starting at 12 PM EST (4 PM
GMT).

Better late than never eh?


Too bad this was not made a week or more ago, when the notice to the
community
might have generated some participation and/or visitation.


Absolutely.  I think it was simple oversight that this didn't happen.
People get busy and things get dropped.  We did have a number of posts to
the NCLUG Yahoo Group so I believe we got pretty good local coverage.

The link supplied by the way dates their post Jan 11th, 2007. Would that
have
been too early to post to LUGNET? My apologies if I missed a previous post
on
this event.

No, I don't think it would have been to early.  It could have been followed
up with a reminder posting the week of the event.


I am standing by for the POST event wrap-up. I would dearly like to see
pictures
of the layout and MOCs. Many of these events are my inspiration to build
and be
creative, if only to copy what others have done (hahahahaha).

Respectfully,

Todd

Joe Meno has posted a wrap up, did you catch that?  It was a fun event, I
wish I could have spent more time there.  The Planatarium staff were very
pleased with the event and were very supportive.

Mike

(...) A bunch snipped (...) Mike, Thanks! I posted in part out of fun and part out of annoyance. Had I been in the area I would have definitely dropped by. Hey, a planetarium and a LEGO event, my two favorite loves in one. I would have been there. (...) (18 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.loc.us.nc, lugnet.org.us.nclug)
