We have also decided to do another Window display at The Construction Site in
Waltham MA ( http://www.constructiontoys.com ).  This setup will be focused on
a Castle theme and will include many MOC's as well as some of the new
production sets.  There is still quite a bit of planning to be done on this so
we don't all build the same thing and end up with 20 towers and no city/town
stuff.  I think we probably need to start a discussion just on this subject so
that we can at least get a start on something then at some point in January or
so we can have another meeting to see how things are going and try and set a
date for setup at The Construction Site.

Here's an idea for the initial setup - I think we should use the old 'modular
Castle'-type setup for the walls and towers: the walls being 1 wall piece
high,
connected with Technic pegs at specified heights, with the battlements looking
a certain way - that way the wall will look more 'unified'.  The only change
I'd consider making would be the possibility of using green baseplates instead
of green regular plates for the 'ground'.  We'd probably also want to
accomodate
people who want to use the different colors of wall sections somehow - I know
I
have a lot fewer lt. grey walls than I would like.

I'm tempted to do a troupe of travelling actors a la the ones in _Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern are Dead_ (or _Hamlet_ I suppose) that have come to visit the
town.  Maybe we could go for a sort of 'market day' atmosphere?  I'll also
volunteer my LEGO sheep and perhaps I'll try to make a LEGO cow now that I have
some horns to put on it...

(...) I have cross-posted this to lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos (because that is where TCS is after all). I think we are starting to get some Ideas and I think I will probably start a dedicated thread for this project very soon. (...) I like this idea a lot (...)
