(...) All right -- next time I go (and don't have my four-year-old waiting on me), I'll take a pad and pen and jot down what they have. If anyone else makes it to one of our LEGO stores, perhaps you can do the same. For starters, I suppose we can (...) (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb)

On the recommendation of y'all at the meeting on Sunday, I visited the Woodfield mall yesterday. Its LEGO store is quite nice (though oddly, it's not on the mall directory). I think it's pick-a-brick selection isn't quite as large as the one (...) (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb)

Cool idea! I am from Wisconsin, and I know of no Lego club or group meetings in this area. Tell us how many showed up, and if there will be a future meeting with more of an advanced notice.

(...) No, to be clear: $250 is just the minimum total of the bill, which is for your food and drinks. If we buy $260 of food and drink then the room is free; but if we each buy a soda totalling $10, then they're going to charge us $250 anyway. Now, (...) (20 years ago, 2-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb)

Well, Ballydoyle's finally called me back, and I don't think is going to be right for us. For groups using the meeting room (which seats up to 30, BTW), they don't take separate checks; they want a lump payment which will be a minimum of $250. So, (...)
