Hi!

I finally stopped lurking and began posting to LUGNET last fall but haven't
gotten around to posting to .org.us.gardenslug until now.  I kept thinking
I'd wait until I saw some activity about a get-together but since I didn't
check this group regularly I missed my chance with the March meeting
(similar to Andrew Saada's recent post).  I've setup email delivery for
.org.us.gardenslug so hopefully that won't happen again.

I live in north-west Passaic county which seems to be close to the heart of
GardenSLUG country, judging by Eric's map.  In terms of my favorite LEGO
themes: Mid-1990's Technic is what released me from my Dark Ages (8480 in
particular), the Star Wars line brought me back to Minifig sets, and 10020
turned me into something of a train-head.  Most of my LUGNET posting has
been trains related, but my interests now span all over the LEGO spectrum.

I'm embarassed to say I don't (yet) have any MOCs to share.  I have a
Brickshelf account but right now all it has is some ideas I had for compact
track layouts for running trains on my dining room table.  My house is too
small to have a dedicated LEGO room, which my wife probably regrets more
than I do since she has trouble arranging her dining room knick-knacks
around train tracks and an Imperial Star Destroyer :-)

My Brickshelf page is:

Hope to meet you all sometime at a GardenSLUG event.  Can't wait to see some
of Eric's amazing creations in person!

Regards,
Paul S. D'Urbano

Paul,
Hey there! So someone did see my post! ;-) Well I guess I am permitted to
say welcome too (albeit my newbiehood--not a word, right? ;-P ). I look
forward to meeting you.
Also, since I did not mention anything before: My interest has been in all
themes (more System though: Space, Town, & Castle) until about 1997.  I
pretty much boycotted Town with the advent of printed headlights (thankfully
they're returning to their roots) and I did not collect any Space after
Spyrius (except for the big UFO ship, which was a gift) until Life on Mars,
although i do regret missing out on some Exploriens stuff, and Star Wars,
which, like for others, combined my two favorite interests. I have been
mainly posting in .Space.
Okay, it's pretty late.  3:45...daylight saving's...;-(

-Andrew
