So, what does one do at a NELUG meeting?  Bring MOCs to share?  Discuss
alternate uses of some obscure hard to find TECHNIC element?  Stage contests
on whose catapult can send a Fright Night the farthest?  Rant about
juniorization issues?  Measure how many beers it takes before a person can't
build LEGO anymore? ....(I could go on... but I think the idea is for you
guys to answer, not me...)   =]

More or less all of the above, if not more. :D

Seriously, pretty much anything.  A lot of the meetings have three basic phases:

Phase 1:
Meet up at The Construction Site, look over the new sets they have in, and buy
stuff.

Phase 2:
Wander over towards Bison County BBQ, take over the room, set up and ogle MOCs,
have a couple of drinks (purely optional), ogle the MOCs some more.

Phase 3:
Dinner and conversation, usually about upcoming personal and NELUG projects (as
well as any other kind of dinner conversation a bunch of friends might have)

Occasionally, we add
Phase 4:
Discussion of "important" club business.  There usually isn't much of that.

Seriously, I know you'd be in for a long drive, but I hope you can make it out
for a meeting at some point.  And if you can find someone closer to your area,
set up a NELUG meeting out there!  Maybe you can make us drive out to you. :D

(...) I would just like to throw in my 2 cents and say that I would be real excited if folks wanted to have NELUG meetings in other parts of New England. We have a very well established group in the Greater Boston Area that keeps our general meeting (...)

(...) <snip> First, congrats regarding all the newly expected births! I hope all the little ones turn out to be good little LEGO collectors (but not so much as to abscond with their parent's sets....) :) Anywho, I was just posting to ask exactly (...)
