I might could make this, Joe. I’ll have four(-ish) modules if we do a moonbase,
and some big red capital ships. Who else is in?

Joe's done a phenomenal job here in the Raleigh-Durham area organizing regular
meetings -- Yay, Joe! It was great to meet some new people at GATS this weekend.
I hope that Dan from Chapel Hill and Cyndi from Durham and others can contribute
to future train shows, if only to help set up or man the layout. And MOCs of any
size are always welcome.
So, I'm interested in an NC gathering at BrickFest. I know Thomas Main from
Boone is coming. Who else?

It sounds like Friday night is a good bet. Next week I could do Monday
or Tuesday evening, and a remote possibility of Sunday.
Something also to think about is if anyone knows a community center or
library or something where we could have an open meeting and possibly
find other AFOLs who might not be internet savvy enough to find Lugnet
(or might not realize that they might not be alone in their hobby).

I can possibly do friday, but saturday is out. I could probably host next
week sunday night through wednsday night.
I have just moved into a new house and have my tables set up without any lego
on them.

Unless we come up with a specific weekday evening which is good for more folks,
and/or we feel that having a gatherthing this weekend would make folks less
likely to do a weekday meeting the following week or so, I'd suggest we go
ahead with a meeting this weekend, and if we manage one next week also, hey,
that's cool!

Actually, I meant TRU value packs... They have a $29.95 one (Tie/Y-Wing +
Snowspeeder) and a $19.95 one (Sith Infiltrator + Naboo Swamp).

I'd love to see it also. We could watch it as an activity.

It's a real shame the 4561 is such a lame train (not that 4559 was that much
better - 4565 or 3225 are the only decent trains which have been available in
the past couple years). Probably the best bet if you don't mind giving her a
"custom" set is to scrounge up the various train bits from S@H service packs,
and hunting down a cheap controller and train motor.

So do I.
I've been making some very serious progress on sorting stuff. My pile of
not-huge sets is steadily diminishing. I've been processing about a copy paper
box worth of sets per evening, sometimes more. I might manage to catch up just
in time for the 2001 sets at Christmas...
