 | | Date for the Glendale Galleria Lego Store opening
|

I was at the Lego Store in Downtown Disney yesterday and found out the opening date for the new Lego store in the Glendale Galleria. The lady told me it was Oct 30th - but said "It may change". I also heard "the very end of October" from Lego (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.la, lugnet.org.us.lugola)

(...) For those haven't seen Eric Harshbarger in "Ripley's Believe it or Not," you get a screening of it at the next LUGOLA meeting as well. Dave, feel free to add this to the sidebar if you want. -Anne (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)

I like the idea of calling it SDLUG better :) There are too many SANs, especially in California IMHO. Anyway, I think that would be a great idea, as it's difficult to get the San Diego folks up to LA more frequently. Does that mean all the San Diego (...)

(...) Thnks for the bridge complement :) Now onto the San Diego LUG idea. At the last LUGOLA meet, we spoke about ideas of LUGOLA's future and one I've been thinking over for a while now is for SanLUG (as I call it) to be a LUGOLA "chapter". The (...)

The later meeting start does give more trip options (what time I get back home doesn't matter). Will (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)

DOH! It looks like we need to move this to the 19th instead of the 26th. I'm sorry about the short notice folks, but that's how it is. Nine days from now at 4pm we'll be getting together in Altadena at Anne's place. More info forthcoming later (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.lugola)

Mark Terrabain invented a single piston, single switch AND gate, but it only has one pressure output, so you have to retract the pistons with some external force like rubber bands.
