Good question. Because it has kind of become tradition I think. Other than
Brikwars and Train Shows we don't tend to do much on weekends. I would love to
do a build meeting someday where we just take the NELUG collection and go at
it. Of course we need a good open location for that. (Any volunteers or ideas
for a location?)

Ehh... reality ain't that bad.
As for the BEST meetings I guess that depends on who you talk with. For us
they work out great. First we spend a little dough on LEGO then head across
the street for MOC displays and Eats. If you want to sit and play with LEGO
its probably not the best, besides BBQ sauce and LEGO don't go together very
well.

| (...) given that it would be a 3 hour drive to get to the bridge to get off cape on the 1st or 2nd, i'd shoot for the 30th, myself. but i'll go with the flow :) (...) ah well, i'll just have to stick to the drinks then :) (23 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

| (...) I'd love to too :) As for where to do it... hm... A Brandeis room costs moula, sadly... I could investigate rooms at WPI, though-- I still know a couple people out that way who work there, so I might be able to swing getting a room for free. (...)

By the time I tear myself away from work during the week it's far too late for doing anything but watch reruns of Junkyard Wars and Iron Chef. Actually, considering the drive, I think I'd have (...)
