Wow! Good to hear from you after all these years. I’ll never forget the
sight of your monster ship packed up in sections and squashed into the
back of your car at Brickfest ;-)
You can still contact me about roller bearings when you want ;-) (note my
email address in the heading is wrong - see my website for the right one)

Glad to have you. Advance welcomes to Oregon. Look me up when you get settled,

Hi, everyone.
Well, I’ve been off the radar for a few years, finishing dissertation,
teaching, and now I’m moving to Eugene in August so I’ll be part of the
“Northwest” bunch and not the “Northeast” so much. I guess this means I can
go annoy Frank Filz more, which I am sure he’s happy about, and that I’ll be
able to go to BrickCon more easily than BrickFest (BrickWorld, etc). In any
case it’d be good to hear from people in the Northwest in general and Oregon
(or Eugene) in particular as to what the community’s like, who I should be in
touch with, what kinds of tomfoolery people get into, and where I can hide an
eighteen-foot battleship.
Otherwise, life is spiffy.

Welcome back, Lindsay!
Between the Truman and
the Yamato, you’ve finally got
some competition! Hope to see another of your big ships one day.

Hi, everyone.
Well, I've been off the radar for a few years, finishing dissertation, teaching,
and now I'm moving to Eugene in August so I'll be part of the "Northwest" bunch
and not the "Northeast" so much. I guess this means I can go annoy Frank Filz
more, which I am sure he's happy about, and that I'll be able to go to BrickCon
more easily than BrickFest (BrickWorld, etc). In any case it'd be good to hear
from people in the Northwest in general and Oregon (or Eugene) in particular as
to what the community's like, who I should be in touch with, what kinds of
tomfoolery people get into, and where I can hide an eighteen-foot battleship.
Otherwise, life is spiffy.

The Greater Portland LEGO® Railroaders (GPLR) are not
exclusively about LEGO trains...
On Thursday, January 11, 2007 GPLR delivered their 4th LEGO
diorama installment at the
Washington Square LEGO Store (Tigard, Oregon) “Window Into The Community”
display.
The diorama is a Rocket Garden and celebrates LEGO Space Exploration, or as some
of us call it “Space Bricksploration”. This is
a Minifig/Town related theme LEGO has periodically marketed since 1990, with the
advent of set 1682 Space Shuttle.
Jeremy Rear and Kim Toll take the theme to a highly designed and engineered
level to build MOCs (My Own Creatons) with unique and unconventional details.
Please take a moment to
preview our creations. If you get a chance, stop by the Washington Square LEGO
Store and carefully look at the details.
In addition, these MOCs and thousands of others will also be featured at
BrickFest™ PDX 2007, March 30 - April 1,
2007. Be sure to register
and join the fun with the international LEGO community!
