I had planned on being the Moonbase coordinator at next year's brickfest
(even though Jon's taken the initiative and made the web page) as I was
going to make a large landscape module for the layout. As such, i was going
to bring a large bag of technic pins, similar to what Troy C. did for the
castle layout, so that every technic pin in the layout belongs to one
person, so they all end up at the same place when the layout's taken apart.
I have lots of black friction pegs so losing a couple really won't bother me
much.
