I got the printed edition... the story is awesome.
I must say I was pretty startled when I saw the reporters at the Swiss Chalet.
Had I known they were coming, I might have tried extra hard to bring something
"bigger".

I like the picture of Dave with his Firehall, and the front page mosaic with
Jeff VW making the cover.

Its funny, but I talked to a few of my co-workers at TRU.  I brought my
book of pictures from the Train events there in the breakroom, and a lot
of them were "WOWWED".  One of the girls said that she had a substantial
LEGO collection herself.

I went to a Christmas Party Saturday night, and I met someone that probably
has more than LEGO than I do.  That's scary!!  I'm almost to the point of
putting an ad in the paper and starting my own local club here in Niagara.
I'm sure I'd get at least 2 people!!! :)
