UPDATE: The location and times have changed. Please see below for new
information.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, CA - The Bay Area LEGO Users Group (BayLUG) and the
Bay Area LEGO Train Club (BayLTC) are pleased to announce that we have
accepted an invitation from The LEGO Company to participate in the "What
Will You Make, Americas?" 2003 Roadshow. This Roadshow centers around the
company's core values by promoting open-ended play and creativity via LEGO's
new Designer product line. Unlike LEGO truck tours of the past, the majority
of this show will be hands-on. A festival-in-the-park atmosphere will
contain numerous play areas. Kids will have the opportunity to interact with
adult LEGO fans and LEGO master builders alike.

LEGO Train Clubs and LEGO Users Groups from the select cities will be
working with The LEGO Company to make this event a success. LEGO has
designated a "Community Area" for clubs to display models of their own
choosing to enhance the experience for the guests. Having fan participation
at this level helps send the message to people attending that you really can
build anything with LEGO bricks!

BayLUG/BayLTC will be displaying at the Sacramento, CA stop of the roadshow.
Our display will be approximately 10'x10'. This will include a train layout
with downtown, running monorail lines, static displays such as space ships
and sculptures, and a portion of our San Francisco Waterfront Project.

This family event is free of charge.

When:
October 10-12, 2003

Where:
Discovery Museum History Center
101 "I" Street
Old Sacramento, CA 95814

Event hours:
Friday 12pm-5pm
Saturday 11am-5pm
Sunday 12pm-5pm

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

(...) As a reminder the event is today, tomorrow and Sunday. KCRA in Sacramento had a news report on it-- they challenged a master builder, Kurt Zimmerle, to build the Tower Bridge (a local landmark) in 90 minutes-- in time to show it at the end of (...)
