I have been thinking about it because I have been thinking about (distant
future thinking about) trying to establish a LEGO club at Tulane (TULUG?). One
would think that a university would be a pretty good place for a LEGO club. I am
somewhat friendly with one of the professors in the Architecture department, and
he really wants to see some of the stuff I have done. Actually, he probably just
wants to play with some LEGO.
If there was interest in the club I wondered how we would do it. Own your own,
borrow the clubs, get money from the university for club LEGO, collect dues for
club LEGO, get LEGO to discount LEGO, or get LEGO to donate LEGO...
Anyway, it would be interesting to see if there would be enough interest.
