(...) The Bay Area ABC radio affiliate picked up on it too. In addition to mentioning the "cathedrals to robots", they talked to AF'sOL who admitted spending upwards of $10,000 a year on LEGO. Hmm, that could be any of several people.... :-) Maggie (...) (21 years ago, 10-Aug-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Looks like it might be in Sunday's print edition? (URL) mention of the Sunday "Open to the Public" times, though. So you might not need extra crowd control. -Greg K (21 years ago, 10-Aug-03, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.events.brickfest)

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)

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)
