Congratulations on getting such great publicity, Eric. And thanks for the write-up of the event. That was a very fun read.

Hi Eric, It looks good. I was sorry I wasn't able to swing by and see the building in action. Will the Ripley's people let you know when this will be aired, and, if so, will you post an announcement here? Bruce (21 years ago, 7-Aug-03, to lugnet.mediawatch)

Just ran across this at (URL) - a Lego computer case. Yes, it's been done before, and this one doesn't break much new ground. Neat use of TIE Bomber canopies as decorative elements / drive covers.

I think I'll be out there most of the day and into the night. Despite much prebuilding, just getting the thing onto the billboard is expected to take some time.

Eric, Any idea what times you will be working? Will the mosaic stay up for a while after you build it? If possible I'd love to swing by on my way to work or maybe on my way home. Bruce (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.mediawatch)

Eric, that is so cool! It's going to be a very tough build, is there any way you can prepare the bricks beforehand so that the building will go faster? Can't wait to see pictures, and see it on TV! JohnG, GMLTC (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.mediawatch)
