    Greetings! (Neophite alert!) —Joel Jacobsen
   Well, having skulked around LUGNET for a little while now, I suppose it's time I should post something. :) Being a newbie here, I'll give a quick overview for those who care: I'm 27 and have been addicted to LEGO's since I got a Universal building (...)

     (...) There has been some discussion of a group going to the Crew games. I'm planning on going to the 9/9 game with my family. Be glad to meet up with other LEGO'ers there.

        Re: Greetings! (Neophite alert!) —Jorge Rodriguez
     Hi. The group hasn't met lately ( actually I think some people met in May). I'm planing to go to the All star game, or at least walk around and see the truck. By the way I talked to the Lego rep today and she said that the Truck will also be at the (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.us.oh.col)

      (...) Ah, good. Then I don't have to go to the game when all I want to see is the truck. :-) Do you know what time of day the truck will be up at Sawmill? That Sawmill TRU seems to be much better stocked than any of the other TRUs in town. I work (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.us.oh.col)
     
          Re: Greetings! (Neophite alert!) —Carolyn Cheney
       I'm also interested in going to the LEGO truck either at the game or TRU. Any idea what tickets to the game cost? I'm not a great soccer fan, but it might be fun to go to. And actually the tickets to the game might be cheaper than going to TRU (but (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.us.oh.col)

       That sounds like it'd be fun, if we could luck out and get one of those days when it's not 90 out and equal humidity..
