Very tempting but I will have to pass on this. But thank you @bacon1986 for the lead!

Hi everyone!!

Final results back from the Library event:

– Over a period of 4 hours, we had about 250 people roll through!
– The fundraiser brought in about $1500, after expenses, $1300. This was the library’s biggest fundraiser in its history – which is great.
– The event got coverage across social media, televised news, and more.
– Perhaps…[Read more]

Last one!

The event went well. Had quite a few people stop by. @iamrjthompson was in good form chatting everyone up about his builds. @bacon1986 ‘s Brikhead scavenger hunt was a hit with the kids. Glad we could support the event. I’m always up for helping out libraries.

Hey @greg! Everything is going smoothly! We have the LUG play brick, Doug, cards, etc. ready to go. Some residents are contributing their models to the show as is the art program from a local church. I’ll be moving stuff over tomorrow and Saturday morning, if you had anything you wanted to be displayed, the library will accept it starting…[Read more]

@bacon1986 that’d be great! Thank you so much. Let’s definitely connect at some point in person since you are so close. I can get back to you closer to the event to arrange drop off/pick up. I know these will be a hit.

Looks like Muppets arrive on May 24th. I will let you all know when I have them sorted.

Maybe ours wasn’t mixed well or the bartender was new on Saturday afternoon, but the old fashioned tasted like pure alcohol. I was just glad we didn’t pay for them since we had won drink tickets in the previous session.

@bacon1986 That would be cool!

@bacon1986 😁

Q4 prizes:

Minifig scale:
@arcadiumsol, @willmcdine, @whitesidewjw
Microscale:

My MOCs were additional prizes donated by me.

We’ve discussed this, ‘member?

So what I’m gathering is that we need one of two things:

1) A thread teaching people how to start threads

2) More members with initiative, chutzpah, ambition, go-get-’em attitude to start their own threads

I didn’t hear it to this specific level of detail, but I did hear the general consensus was that…[Read more]

@bacon1986 posted about it in Threadjacking. (Incidentally, it’s hard to find because of the many ways to spell Toys R Us / ToysRUs / Toys’R’Us / TRU…)

Do you guys know how to start new threads? Because I don’t care about TRU closings enough to do it, but yeah, you could start a thread if you want to be able to find it more easily than buried…[Read more]

OK, folks, my summer got loco and I dropped the ball on getting our ducks across the finish line. Checkmate!

I’m attempting to get my hair cut tonight, so I’ll need to answer to Brad as to my failures…

Let’s regroup. Way back in March, I had said this:

Updates:
1) INSTRUCTIONS GENERATED:
Matt – Space Skiff
Beast – F117
Frost – Mighty…[Read more]

Hear ye, hear ye! I’m trying to get a count of interested participants so we can talk table space/planning with Chad. I propose two separate displays, one space and one town, like our early Greenberg events. I will be planning to participate. It sounds like @timf and @zaximillian will be also. What say you @willmcdine? @JoshHall? Will you join @phi…[Read more]

Nope. Thanks for the bump – was meaning to do it.

I have the box.

Tom is still awaiting LDD files from which to make instructions, as far as I know.

Let’s set a target to get those to him by June 14, and get the build box assembled by July 1… that work for yinz guys?

Are these folks still interested? @bacon1986, @howhardcoulditb, @arcadiumso…[Read more]

[Dang. I had a nice post written, and my computer went wonky, and I lost it. Trying again…]

I missed Q1, but don’t want to totally forget about this project. So let’s talk.

1) Builders – looks like @bacon1986, @howhardcoulditb, @arcadiumsol, @zaximillian, @tfdesigns, myself, and possibly @skippermike (you said Brad’s your barber, not that you…[Read more]

You’re my boy, @bacon1986.

Thanks for the tip! Close(ish) to my office – much closer than those K-Marts @bacon1986 was telling us about (still might hit one of them up, but it’s hard to justify a long drive for a YMMV offer…)

Sounds like lunch is at Qdoba or Red Robin tomorrow!

Sure @bacon1986 I can drop off your stuff if you cant make it. Cinco de mayo is fine with me. Just need to narrow down the actual time.
