Well attendance was lighter than expected as you might have figured out ;-).
We had fun and those that came got to see the semi-secret project I have been
working on (I am going to try and post some preliminary pictures tonight to a
page but if you want a sneak peek look around in this directory).

I am working on some better pictures too. And yes it works.
There was also fun playing LEGO Soccer and "I don't got no trains Tom Duggan"
brought a hugh tub full of train cars that were a big hit and with Steve in
from PNLTC that was fun especially since a few of the cars were copy's of
Steve's.
Anyway because turnout was a little light I will be posting more information
about the Greenburg show which I never seem to get to talk about. Then we can
take an informal vote so I can get us signed up if we think we can do all that
is needed before the show.
If I had any free weekends between now and when the baby comes I would offer to
do this again but instead I think for me going back to our weeknight meetings
would probably be the best bet.
Talk to you all later,
