Someone may have hacked the TennLUG site. When I clicked on the sitemap, there
are nothing but random ads for everything from mp3s, to shopping, to a certain
4-lettered "P" word.
Whomever runs the TennLUG site may need to fix either it, or the links if the
site has moved.

I can't believe my message was the last one in the Memphis column, and I wrote
it 6 years ago!
I have since started using my Yahoo! e-mail as my main one (
Savannius@NOSPAMPLEASEyahoo.com ), I haven't used LDraw in a bit, but still keep
up with all the updates, and I'd still like to attend a LUG or LTG meeting (and
still need transportation outside of Memphis.)
I've since broken down most of my physical Legoes by color or function (slopes,
antennae, minifig accs., etc.), but most still fit into a triple-bagged grocery
bag. (Paper, of course.)

Thanks for the response, John. It was nice to hear from someone else in the
area. Do you have any idea how many people are around? I wasn't sure where to
post this so as to get responses, hence the post to .general as well as .us.tn.
So, I guess we should do a couple of things: find out how to get some ahold of
the others in the area and then find out what their level of interest is. I
work at Vanderbilt so I am downtown most days and live in Brentwood. Where is
Bellevue?

I live out in Bellevue and I'd be interested in participating in a show or just
a LUG meeting here in Nashville. I have some trains and lots of robotics stuff.
I'm not much of a builder but I could probably make a GBC module if I put my
mind to it.
