|

(URL) is a pretty decent introduction to AFOLs. Has some interesting quotes from Steve Witt, and mentions BrickFest. One downside: everybody is quoted as saying "Legos". >_< - Kelly (18 years ago, 29-Apr-06, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) Standing in line is not my idea of a fun vacation - especially with short attention span 4-12 year olds.

I think that a better spot in the midwest would be near the major population centers. That would be near the Great Lakes. I think an ideal location would be near Cedar Pointe Amusement Park near Sandusky Ohio on Lake Erie. It would be within a few (...)

Exciting news for residents of the midwest United States! I read this in the 4/28/2006 Kansas City Star.
