Hi Wisconsinites!
I just moved to the Appleton area and wondered if there were any other fellow
brick enthusiasts around. I just moved into a place with a nice big unfinished
basement, and I've just started unpacking my bricks. I'd love to hang out with
other AFOLs, if there are any around!
I'm interested in town/trains mostly, but I like all things Lego.
Drop me an email at daveamos [[at]] gmail [[dot]] com or reply to this post.

some new sections to the layout in recent months and hope to continue adding on
during the shows.
As always, we encourage visitors to bring their own rolling stock to run on our
layout. There will be many many other (non-Lego®) train layouts and dealers
displaying at both shows, and John and Ross Neal's Twin Cities Lego® Train Club
(TCLTC) layout (<http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/10>) will also be set up at
the La Crosse show.

I'm on a project for a well known local employer for the next few weeks at
least, possibly longer... if there's any interest in getting together please
drop me a line... I'm staying downtown but usually have a rental.
