There was heavy trading at this gathering, probably caused by the massive
amounts of new trading stuff brought primarily by Brian, Clark, and Eric.
In fact, everyone dived at the trading bins FIRST. It was only after we
thought we got most of what we wanted that we actually went around looking
at MOC's! There were a lot of great new MOC's though.
Brad Justus stopped by and had to endure listing to everyone's "want list"
for LEGO Direct. As much as I would have liked to put my two cents in, I
was doing a mad rush through Brian's mother lode and just couldn't pull
myself away (My wife and I were going through it for about 4 hours
straight!)
I'm looking into finalizing the location and time of the next meeting. The
proposal has been to have it in Southern Orange County around the first of
August. It was decided that a July meeting was probably too soon. I
realize that the meetings have been to the South for a long time. If the LA
people are getting irritated with this and have a suggestion for a Northerly
location for one of the next couple of meetings, then let's talk.
