Actually, I *think* what he was suggesting was a LEGO society for all ages, not
just
one for under-17s.
I'm kind of curious...are there other under-18 LEGO fans in the Boston area?
Speak
up now, please. If there's enough, then two things might happen:
1) Shiri'll find some other folks to hang with, and
2) Shiri'll get organized and make NELUG Jr., or BosLUG Jr., or something similar.
(after seeing what she's doing with Castle World, I have faith in her ability
to do so)
Then the adults that don't want to deal with kids can just do NELUG stuff, and
younger FOLs and the adults that don't care can do both.
Heck, I'd come hang out with you guys (assuming that meetings were held on days
that I could make it - NELUG has a distressing habit of scheduling meetings during
my karate classes).
