Ok, I'm new to posting  on Lugnet...   I was with Steve Jackson when he • did his
pirate game at Archon.  I want to play some more.  I have been a Lego • Maniac
for years and have a fleet of 16 large ships, and 1 cutter.  I am in the
process of ordering parts from Brickbay to build several cutters.

I canot make it to either the east or west coast to attend Brickfest, or • to DC
to attend Piratefest.  So... I would like the persons running these • events to
email me and help me to put on Pirate/Brickfest here in St. Louis.  I • feel that
a mid-west event would not hurt any of these events, but would give the
mid-westerners a chance to attend such a wonderful experience.

If you were at Archon then you played with Doug Mikkelson, another Lego
pirate addict. I couldn't attend because of contining employment
obligations. We play at the gaming conventions like Egyptian Campaign in
Carbondale, IL, Gencon at Milwaukee. I think the possibility of a Midwest
LUG festival is good. St. Louis would be good for me.

A mid-west LUG event would be cool, but I'm not sure if there's enough
folks down your way to provide the core to get it going (the Northern
Midwest would be much more likely). Atlanta is a possibility though
which might not be too far for you.

10 hours away for me. Chicago is closer than Atlanta. Besides Lego people in
Atlanta have the North Georgia Lego Train Club to keep them busy. Their
train layout displays are impressive to say the least and look like a great
deal of work.


I hope that posting this type of request is ok, if not, please let me • know and
I will refrain from such a posting in the future.

This is certainly the right place to ask...

(...) Was this done this year? I wish I'd known, I would have tried to go play. What year is Archon on? I grew up in StLouis, but I think the last one that I went to was #10 or 12. (...) Me too!
