Followups to lugnet.org.us.nelug Well I just saw this message in .train.org inviteing LEGO Groups to display their layouts at Greenburg shows. (URL) there are 2 shows in New England.

(...) I'm excited by the fact that the folks from Greenberg came to Lugnet specifically to ask about Lego train stuff. That means good things about Lugnet and the Lego train fan community in general, IMHO. I'd be happy to contribute some buildings (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) I'd be inta figuring out some kinda mindstorms thing for this. It'd be coolest if it's actually related to the train, not just a sideshow thing. (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

(...) Should we plan for the week after next, then? If we can pick a date, we might well be able to a) get the private room and b) give enough notice to attract new people. Maybe we could even get the guys at the Construciotn Site to let us put up a (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

They say that if you get to the Esplanade early enough (in the morning), you can stake out an area with blankets and camp all day and watch the fireworks right from there. I'd be willing to (...)

My trip next week is now questionable so that puts my ability to make it on the 5th into question. I will let (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
