World again.  I haven't been there in years.

Have patience with the locals on a Monday - things easily get swamped for most
individuals who don't have the summer off!  :^)

Thanks,

Shoppingtown has the only decent (not nescesarily
sp? good)stock I know of, between Small World and
Kay Bee.  The road plates, hmmmm, I think they had
green stripes on the sides of the road, but I can't
be positive.

Might we, insted of having a formal meeting,
want to have a "see what everyone looks like" type
of thing?  Maybe in a mall food court?
Great Northern, Shoppingtown or the like?
Bring 1 or more creations to share.  Informal,
just to say "HI!"  Just an idea.
-John Rudy

Sounds OK to me - I prefer Carousel since I'd be coming in from near • Rochester.
Hopefully I'll have a creation to survive the trip to share!

Anyone else with some input?  Lets hear some chatter!
This group was rocking a while ago, what happened?
John, Wayne, anybody?  I feel like we've gone down
hill ever since the lug idea.  Maybe it's that a
computer means a shield that can hide your face,
maybe your afraid to meet in person.  It's time to
get over that.  Life isn't hiding.  Life is playing
lego and sharing the wealth [1]!!!  I mentioned a
mall because of these fears.  It's a nice neutral
place.  Hopefully we can get something going here.
I was really excited to see that loc.syr delurked,
but now i'm sad to see nothing happening.  I was
hoping for something impossible, I guess.  Jesus,
we were going so well too!
