so unless we can do it remotely, we can’t staff.
I move that the LUG buy a camera that ties into an app / wifi-enabled monitor and has speaker functionality (like the baby monitor we have in my son’s room) and give the monitor to Jonathan & Kristin, so if someone messes with the display or tries to steal anything, they can push a button and the guilty party will hear a tinny voice going “hey, don’t do that!”
But seriously:
What exactly are the hours and days we need to cover if we commit to the extended display? You guys are talking about teardown on New Years Day (a Thursday), but their site says they’re closed that day (which doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t tear down then…)
From their Hours section on that page, it looks like we’re talking an additional three-day weekend, but no other days; is that correct?
Fri 12/26 9-5
Sat 12/27 9-5
Sun 12/28 9-5I would say that while I support the idea in theory, I see a lot of red in the shift sign-up even through the current commitment of Sun 12/21. I’d rather we not commit to even more shifts unless we have strong commitments from enough LUG members to guarantee coverage on the days between Christmas and New Years. Better to under-promise and over-deliver than to over-promise and under-deliver, don’cha know?
I personally might be able to sneak in a shift at some point but can’t commit to anything until I see how the family holiday plans shape up.
Eleventh Hour’s weekly e-mail blast has LEGO night for tomorrow. Have people been going the past few months? I don’t think I’m likely to be able to swing it this month but am glad they’re still doing it. They’re not billing us, so I don’t think we’re in trouble if we don’t have a presence… but it’s def a fun time so yinzall should go!!
I’m just mad at how long it took me to figure out. Maybe I’m losing my touch. But it shouldn’t have taken a half hour of trying repeatedly. And surely, I’m not the least savvy of their users… others will probably also be frustrated.
Aaaand I figured it out. They wanted my BL username, not my BL email that I have used to log in to BL for years.
Related is the attached gem of a screenshot, which I encountered after solving the above….
Need to get @dc221803 to update zip so we get that sweet Colorado pin…. 😉
It didn’t like my zip code being “Polish Hill,” lol. Couldn’t find my pin at all. Fixed, and now I live on Fifth Ave in Oakland. Close enough for government work!
Haha I didn’t see the set at the meeting, so I figured I was too slow / you and Jonah were prob already there when I sent that. No biggie. I’m still interested, but not sure what my upcoming attendance looks like (hoping to at least make an appearance at a Trolley Museum event and Ultimate PittBricksShow…) I could send funds if you’re ok holding the set until we figure out when we’ll be in the same place…?
Hey @tfdesigns, I’d take the Bonsai tree if you have it with you / can bring it today…
So it’s a watch party with everyone but also a live streaming commentary event! We are working out the details but myself and your Pittsburgh Pals are going to be doing a live commentary as the finale unfolds!
Interesting! Are you planning to try to amplify your commentary within the restaurant, or just for the stream??
I’m probably a game-time decision but am going to try to make it if things break in my favor to do so.
Pete’s coming in a bit. Anyone else?
[See thread title]
classic Strange Planet strip!
how am I just now realizing there were 2 fort legorado sets?
They didn’t call it Fort Legoredo for nothin’!
Does the Dave & Buster’s manager know there will be Lego Masters contestants present?
I don’t know Marcella well, but I would certainly assume she led with “I’m a famous reality TV star and you’d best give me what I want, which is attention from news media and volume cranked to eleven” 😀
But seriously, yeah, if they don’t already know, it’d be worth mentioning that locals are (A) in the show and (B) coming to their restaurant to watch the premiere.
So we won’t be in the arcade section where it’s crazy loud.
We aren’t paying anything so we will see how it works out. ☺️
Yeah, we’ll probably be ok… I’ll admit I’m not a D&B’s regular, probably only ever been there 2-3 times, so my knowledge of the layout isn’t great and my perception of how noisy is probably mostly recalling the arcade area. Plus, maybe they just won’t be crowded on a Monday night. Anyway, as long as we have sound on. Watching a sporting event without the sound is ok, but watching a show like LEGO Masters is not going to be a worthwhile experience if we can’t hear it. Like, are Krista and Marcella going to just say “oh, that was where Will said (insert terrible pun here)… oh and that time he said (another terrible pun)” over and over throughout the hour? 😉
I wish I could fall that spectacularly. It was really from illegal speed building. Oh no, I’ve said too much. 😂
Oh, you’d better believe we’re going to get yinz drunk and spilling all the dirt from behind the scenes… (it worked reasonably well with the LEGO Masters crew who were at BrickFest Live in Monroeville a few years ago…)
I assume we’d all be only interested if one of the criteria was “sound on for LEGO Masters”, right?
Ok I just spoke to Dave and Busters at the waterfront – they said they would turn the TV’s to whatever we want and they have a lot of TV’s
I confirmed 20 at 7p at dave and busters waterfront.
So, I am planning to come, but would point out that D&B’s is typically super loud and chaotic, what with all the arcade games and whatnot… do we think we’ll be able to hear the show, if we find a back corner somewhere…?
oh jeez- this site says it’s 8p ET https://www.tvinsider.com/gallery/lego-masters-season-5-premiere-date-cast-trailer/
there’s a google search cache saying it’s 9/8c
I swear I saw 9p ET elsewhere too!
ok, so 8p start! I’ll adjust the dave and busters.
Yeah, I specifically checked the other day because start time and run time of the show would of course affect our options, if a place closed at 9 for example. I know Fubo’s TV guide was showing it at 9. But now it’s 8. Subject to change, perhaps.
my shoulder recovery
So that was you wiping out with a tray of bricks in the trailer…?!?
Anyway, glad you’re recovering, @knb112!
I’m in for sure. Doesn’t the show come on at 8:00?
I also searched and found that the show starts at 8pm. Could you reserve it for 7pm?
show starts at 9!
Or 8 Central – whichever comes first!
