mmmmmm. Krispy Kreme! :-9. Yup. Tables assembled we talked about the
evoloution of the federation starship, the dinky landing gear on voyager, to
the unofficially official star trek books (Ones that are not canon to the
storyline).

I liked this one. Going to Brickfest would help us as builders and modelers.

I liked this idea. It gives me a chance to ressurect the sub i built, maybe
in a Silverside (Old WW2) fashion?

picture you provided.

These were really nice ships Trevor. I liked the B5-Destroyer look to the
M-Tron ship. All the anttennae and stuff pointing forward.

I'll say this now. if i can go to Brickfest I would much rather carpooling
then buying a plane ticket. Plane tickets are expensive out of Capital City,
considering it's a not a "hub" airport. :\

Yes yes. I hope to see you in more meetings and events. I think i remember
Steve saying he was a space-favoring person. Welcome to the *real* dark
side, those train people are only a little grey. :)
