I would be open to this...I am interviewing for new jobs, often without much
notice...but I would be interested...

I am divided amongst projects right now...all i various stages of
development...none really finished...but I do have one 2 foot 10 pound model
I am proud of.
I also have my own Sony Mavica, which takes very good Lego pics...a possible
solution for those who don't have one...Webtv also gives me 5 small webpages
to post pics on, an alternative for those of you that don't have time...
Here are some example pics of my current project as well as a small story...

I don't know if I have any "unwanted" pieces, but I do have alot of stuff I
won't use immediately or is too expensive to keep.

I'm a friendly trader...lol
I sell lego to pay the bills currently, but I always keep some "reserve
stock for a rainy day"

Sadly almostall my boxes are in Buffalo, but I do enjoy seeing some of the
istructions and and boxes I don't have.

hmmm...that's iteresting...TRUs here are frequently understocked w/
virtually no "treasures".

Probably a good idea...

Your ideas merit discussion...I have a comparatively small apartment, but my
complex now has a new community room which can be reserved for tenants
events...tere is a large screen, computer, and home theater system along
with a few good size tables...I live 2 miles from exit 39 off of the
Thruway...about 10 minutes from Carousel Mall and Great Northern Mall...
we are getting some interesting responses, Syracuse, Utica, Oswego,
Ithaca....talk about geographic spread...lol
I mention this as an alternate site...I have recently discovered a Rochester
area AFOL specializing in Pirate creations ...he may be interested also = )
