Hi all. One of the reasons we all post pics on the web is cause we're all
proud ABS parents, but another is to critique and spur on new ideas... I've
noticed about 400 hits on our site in the last few days so someone's looking
at the GATS show... any comments?

Well of course its great stuff, allways is.  I did mean to comment on the
Americana section.  While it is very impressive, that is not a Main Street I
would want to drive down.  Between the traffic, lack of parking, and the
"Bigger is better in America" theme of most of those stores I think I would be
sick :-).  Thats in real life of course, in LEGO scale they are impressive
models and I have considered doing one or two myself but I would be afraid of
them putting the shops on my Main Street out of business.

I also really liked Kim's module.  Was it a pain to transport or did it break
appart nicely into easily manageable, and stable, pieces?

Here is a question for everyone...

Are these displays getting to common place for us?  I mean are they so frequent
and common now that we just arn't in as much awe when we see one?  Don't get me
wrong I think the shows becomming common place is a good thing its just that
they are all so great we just might be comming to expect them to be great and
hence arn't as wow'ed as we once were.

I do not these shows are getting old; I haven't even been to one yet. I have
been super busy, and I haven't gotten through all the pictures of the various
shows. I also tend to feel dumb if I don't have something to say other than
"wow".

PS I'll comment about the show when I get done with looking at everything.
