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.)
