Hello potential New LUG members... :-)
Ok.  It seems that there are several people who have replied to this thread
that they would be interested in a local LUG.  So.  What is the next step?  Do
we need to find a place where we can meet?  Are there other things that we need
to discuss first?  Anybody got some input?

Maybe we should give each other some idea of where our interests lie.  I am
interested mostly in Castle, and occasionally in Technics and Mindstorms.  I
enjoy seeing all type of MOCs though, and who knows, given the proper
initiation, I could expand my horizons. :-)

One thought that I had was maybe talking to a local public library.  Building
with Lego bricks is certainly an educational experience.  I would expect that
either someone would need to work there, or we would need to be more organized
to actually get space set aside for us, plus it would mean being extremely
public.  There are both positives and negatives on that issue.  Anyone else
have any ideas?

Hi All,

I returned yesterday evening from the EastCoast Brick Fest put on by WAMALUG.
It was cool.  It appears that there are quite a few folks around who are LEGO
enthusiasts, and I thought it might be nice to put some kind of club together
for semi-regular events.

Who is interested?  I am imagining this to be for people centered on the
wideish corridor between NYC and Philly.  I am in central New Jersey.  I know
there are at least four of you out there who are also in my rough area. • There
were people from near Tom's River in DC this weekend.  There are probably
bunches in NYC and Philly, but I'm only thinking of a couple in NYC and one • in
Philly, off-hand.

What would it be called?  NJLUG would be OK, but I don't at all want to • exclude
anyone else who want's to participate.  Also, the LUG names have so far been
pretty utilitarian and geographic, it wouldn't need to be.

Well, let me know if there's any interest or if I'm missing something.  And • if
you are interested, let me know what you think such an organization should • do.

Chris
