I just uploaded about a dozen photos from the meet to brickshelf, they might be a little clearer: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=8373 I don't have much to say by way of captions but here goes. I hope somebody will correct me if I screw up any of the details: ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85218 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85221 ----- The Michons' airport. I wish I had gotten photos of the tables the airport was placed on so I could figure out how they set it up and took it down so quickly. I swear, it was as if I blinked once and it appeared out of nowhere, I blinked again and it was gone. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85230 ----- A clearer version of Dave's "the mecha factory" photo. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85216 ----- A group of set boxes were sitting in one corner. I was glad to see the Technic box in the foreground right - that was one of the first Lego sets I ever got as a kid; I loved to chase my siblings around with the grabber claw you can see pictured on the side of the box. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85212 ----- Dave's entries from the Hoverthing Contest. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85220 ----- Dave's trade table, including the incredible yellow Rolly Thing. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85214 ----- Eric Sophie's big red mech. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85219 ----- Everybody dives in when the bricks hit the blankets. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85223 ----- An nice shot of what it looks like when a garage falls victim to a mech invasion. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85233 ----- A close-up shot of the littler mechs cowering in the shadow of the Cankerworm's tail. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85222 ----- Everybody crowds around a chunk of Brian Stokes' fabled Mother Lode. This shot could just about work as the group photo for this meet, as long as you don't put too much priority on actually seeing anybody's face. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85217 ----- Sun Yun's mechs. ----- http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=85215 ----- Here is a picture of somebody else taking pictures. In the background you can get a pretty good look at a few of Bryce's non-mech sculptures. - Mike.
