Hi Chris and everyone...
I'm planning on being there on Saturday.  I'm looking forward to it.

----- Original Message -----
From: "Christopher Weeks" <clweeks@eclipse.net>
<snip>
I thought of a few possible semi-organized things to do, and would • appreciate
feedback:

1) Have a big assortment of LEGO out on a table or the floor and have • every one
build.  Build by theme?  Build something drawn out of a hat as in • charades?
Build freestyle?

This sounds great to me, it will give us a chance to get a feel for each
other, and talk in a relaxed atmosphere.

2) Buy some (at clearance hopefully) amount of LEGO ahead of time equal to
~$5-10 per person in attendance, break the sets up, and we draft pieces to • go
home with us.  It's kind of like a parts auction with no premium or • markup.
There are a variety of ways that such a thing could be organized.

I would be willing to contribute to this.  How would it be set up?  Do we
each bring a set or sets of the approximate values to break up at the
meeting, or would one person get it all for everybody ( with reimbursement
coming back from the attendees)?  I hate putting all that  responsibility on
just one person, but don't really feel qualified to take this on myself
right now...

3) Everyone bring a MOC to show and tell.

I'll bring one or two...

4) Bring trade fodder?

5) Bring donations to start a Jambalaya that we would name after the club
(whatever that ends up being called) and send out.

I'm still new to trading ( hard for me to know worth many certain pieces)
and I have never been envolved in a Jambalaya box, but I could be convinced
to try...

6) your suggestions..?

If you think any of these has merit, please speak up quickly and we'll
formalize whatever prep needs to take place.


One person volunteered to bring foodstuff.  Anyone else?  I'll arrange to • have
beverages of copious variety available and I'll try to buy a bag or two of • ice.
For what length of time are we meeting?  Should we arrange a dinner, and • should
it be out or in?  Or should we just bring snacks and pass on a real
dinner?

Depending on how things go, I would vote for a dinner.  I would suggest
eating in, could be something as simple as pizza, especially if there is a
place that will deliver.  Eating in would minimixe the length of time spent
in moving the group from place to place.  Of course, it is not my house, so
your comfort is more important, if you would prefer we go out, that would be
perfectly acceptable.  Snacks would also be great, and I could bring some of
these, but suggestions would be in order, as most that come to mind leave
fingers greasy, and I like clean Lego.  I can also bring a couple of bottles
of soda, if that would help.

I can't wait! :-)
