Yikes... am I just blanking or have I not met you before, Michael?
Congratulations on the marrying thing. That's certainly a big enough deal to
be excused from attending a get together. :)

Brick-wars is a bit beyond me, too.. for starters, I don't think I could
field a large enough army.
Sorting? Ya'll can come help me, if you like sorting! ;) I've never gotten
around to sorting my collection and am realizing how badly it needs done.
Yuck. :)

The end of August would be better for me as well. As I mentioned to David,
Sundays are best for me. Anything after the 12th will probably work fine.
The 19th sounds good off hand, though I'll need to check with my wife. ;)

I'm not too keen on trading parts but I could probably sort out my
instructions and old catalogues for any duplicates. I might have some spare
Castle weapons I could part with, too. I'll have to dig around and see what
I can come up with.
I can/will bring various MOC's I've done over the last year if anyone is
interested in seeing them up close. I haven't had the chance to show them to
anyone in person, so have been holding off on tearing them down for a while
now. They're mostly spacecraft and/or military style creations.
It's good to see some more activity around here!

| Welcome to Columbus Lugnet, David (Scooter)! I hope we can use you as a catalyst to get more get-togethers going. We used to be able to get 10-15 people together a couple times a year, but my last two attempt at get-togethers were, well, not exactly (...)

'99; then I stopped -- I still read groups, but don't actually post much -- I was less in LEGO mode & more in courting mode, if you catch my drift. ;) I just did Brickbay & met up with (...)
