building a trackWhat about an activity for the Chima Speedorz instead of the remote control car idea? I know there is at least one case of Speedorz from Braddock floating around. Of course these vehicles are “fire and forget”, there is no controlling them after they are released, essentially they go in a straight line. Either you race them or try to aim them at something like makeshift LEGO bowling pins.
Doh! I misinterpreted the phrase “building a track” initially – one second thought, you probably meant a pinewood derby style track, not the remote control car track that Ben and I had been discussing. I have the same perspective as Ben on this, to me it would be more worthwhile to buy a used track than to build a new one, but maybe someone with the time, tools, skill and motivation to build a gravity powered race track has a different perspective.
What time do things start?
What’s the schedule looking like? 1-4 talk about stuff, do redemption later, eat food at some point? The usual?
Yeah, depending on how much time @lunch36 wants to go over anything about inventory, if any.
So plan on arriving a bit before 1, I believe. @JoshHall can speak up if that’s incorrect.
Not that you should feel obligated to not only bring a snack, but to bring more than one snack, @paulamalu… but has anyone ever NOT been jonesing for brownies????
Did we ever decide if any kind of drafting is happening? I definitely enjoyed last year’s Q3 parts draft. 🙂
Pretty sure Josh was willing to let people give him $$ to take part in drafting a box of CMFs, and if @huntleyfx can make it and bring his box as well, the draft could be bigger… I’d say come prepared if you’re interested, but since we haven’t confirmed details or exact number of interested participants, it may or may not happen and we may have to establish the rules / buy-in on the fly if it does…
Does anyone know if any ‘burgh tubes, tunnels or bridges (especially those connecting downtown to the South Hills) will be closed for construction today?

I would not try to take the Parkway / Ft. Pitt Tunnels if I were you… (actually, it may have only been closed overnight, but I wouldn’t take the chance if I were in a hurry…)
PennDOT even provides a handy Google Maps plug-in on their website with traffic: http://www.511pa.com/Traffic.aspx
And that map actually shows the tunnels looking ok… so maybe it’s no big deal / opened at 6 or 8 AM?
I’ve been planning on coming to this, but it didn’t occur to me that I should probably RSVP. So ya, I’m coming. I will hopefully be there around 1:30ish, I have to go to an appointment at the apple store first.
I’m not seeing Josh’s address anywhere in this thread. Maybe everybody knows how to get there now, but it’s been half a year since I’ve done it, so I wanna make sure I don’t get lost, and if I have it stored somewhere in email or whatever, I can’t find it. If anybody happens to read this soon, please send me a message. I’m gonna try n leave my house in less than an hour.
824 Greenhaven Drive, Bethel Park, PA 15102
(Pete beat you by private message though :P)
Yea, well, what if @bengood921 isn’t the only person who needs the address? How does a PM help, then? HOW DOES IT HELP THEN???!!!???
I assumed I was the only one lame enough to not be able to find the address, since I was the only one asking at literally the 11th hour.
I’m getting in my car in the next couple minutes. Sweet, Lego meeting! Rock!
Never mind, can’t make it. Got a late start, and then hit every closed road, poorly labeled detour, and traffic jam from here to there. At least three of each. Family needs the car this evening so I’m out of time. Oh well, hope everyone is having fun.
