Well that was fun!
The good--
Friends, LEGO, crowds...
The bad--
no stanctions...
The Ugly--
“Hey you Parent!! Wanna take your completely tantrum-throwing brat out to the
car for a time-out?”
Geesh!
Anyway, I’ve uploaded some pics--
http://sandysparky.net/gallery/20071124_christmas_train_show
In which you’ll see the following--
Crowds
Train Layout
Micro-Town!
Kids playing with the Duplo train layout
And our first Classic Space Train layout
(loading images may be slow... just for Chris)
Thanks to Mike Shiels for supplying the banners! Those gave our area some
“Wow!”ness
Thanks to Jeff vW for making a ‘space train’ in a classic space style for the
space layout--many comments on that one (I especially liked to hear ‘some guy’
say, “Hey! I had that lLEGO space train when I was a kid!!”... ummm... no you
didn’t...)
Thanks to Janey--she brought in a wonderful Micro-MOC town. That was a big hit,
though keeping childish paws off the display was a continuting theme...
Thanks to Chris for the IR train display. But really for the support he gave to
everyone at the show. It’s not the same without you around.
Thanks to Jeff vW (again), Derek, Jeremy and Calum for bringing the train
layout--every time I see it, it’s more inspiring. The many levels of detail in
the layout are beyond expectation! Many people just stood and gawked!
So the show was, at least to me, a fantastic hit!
Since we are, indeed, in a ‘ramping up’ phase, we’re workign out the kinks.
First priority is to keep people (by this I mean touchy-feely brats) away from
the displays. So stanctions or some other barrier has to be agreed on andand
worked out before the next show.
As well, most of us liked the Duplo area for the kids, so I’ll try and get some
sort of play area that has better accessibility for the wee ones. This can be
discussed elsewhere.
Again, thanks to one and all for the efforts! I’m told by the organizers that
our area was a huge hit!

| (...) Looks and sounds like a great time-- congrats on the show, Dave! You really must find a way to get to Chicago for BrickWorld next June! I'm beginning to think that you don't really exist! :-) JOHN (17 years ago, 28-Nov-07, to lugnet.org.ca.obb, FTX)

| (...) Dave thank you so much for organising us once again into a kick butt display, the CS layout was a huge hit, as were the 2 kids tables. Always wonderful to see the core layout, and I was happy to display my micro, phase uno. I had a great time, (...) (17 years ago, 28-Nov-07, to lugnet.org.ca.obb, FTX)
