I was *very* pleased to be able to attend. Everyone there had a great time, and I was able to chat with Stephen Gerling, who designed the stamp, and he was very friendly. Many of us built our own models after the stamp was completed, my personal (...) (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.org.us.texlug)

(...) I was there on Sunday from about 12:30-2:00. I brought the family, but the kids had enough Lego after about 1 1/2 hours (can't understand why :), so we had to leave. Otherwise, I was planning on helping with the breakdown :< Ron (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.us.texlug)

This is an interesting community project, indeed. I have a couple of comments after reading the description and seeing the pic: 1) The description said over 600 large gray baseplates were used, yet the mosaic appears to be smooth? How were the (...)

Anthony, I guess you went Sunday only? I was there for most of Saturday. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for Sunday, and didn't get to see the completed stamp. Saturday was a lot of fun.
