I really thought it was a reasonably written article for the lifestyle
section of a major newspaper. Ms. Phinney was not really condescending
(which many reporters tend to be) and I will bet that the article did far
more good than harm. And that is about all you can expect out of the press.

Note to self:  Never invite mainstream, non-techie press
to an AFOL club meeting or event.

Yeah, that article isn't exactly complimentary, although she does get less
"gosh aren't they cute" towards the end.  But not all press is created
equal, here's a shot that appeared in the local paper for the train show
NALUG won first place at two weeks past:

What sort of experience have other clubs had with media exposure?
