Hi David,
I used .COM indeed, thanks for pointing this out! The URL is updated in LUGMap
and LUGCO's group sidebar now.
Leg Godt!

Ummm...the LUGCO site is still working fine. It hasn't been updated recently,
but the site pops right up. Were you maybe using www.lucgo.COM instead of
www.lugco.ORG ?

We need to make a whole city street of those. It will be like the Running of
the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, only the people get squished instead of gored.
Poor poor Han...

That's one cool ship. I really like the shape when it's closed. It would
still be cool if it couldn't open up, so the fact that it opens into a
question mark is icing on the cake. I like the picture captions, too. It
was nice getting to see it in person at the IndyLUG meeting, but I'm glad
you got some pictures of it. Good work.

Oops! I didn't even know that you weren't an official member yet Jon. I guess
you are now though, so congradulations.

OK Jon, I just saw that new LUGCO member 1771 is named "Jonathan Palmer." Why
did you never tell us that you had an evil twin? Or are YOU the evil twin? Oh
well, as long as both of you live in separate states, I guess you can't cause
too much damage.

We could play LEGO poker. We were so busy last time going though James'
tubs of pieces and Jon's new (and almost free) Star Wars sets that we never got
around to it. I've also made a CD of cool LEGO stuff for you guys to play
with after I'm gone. (This is my last meeting, after all.) There are several
LEGO movies that are really funny.
From what I've heard from James, he's coming to the meeting. If Jeremy
comes, the 4 regulars (Todd, Michael, Jon, Fuzzy) come and James and his son
come, that will make 7 PEOPLE AT A LUGCO MEETING!!! It will be a new record.
Are you sure you still want to have it at your house todd? : )
See you guys there,
Fuzzy

Hey kids. I've talked to Jeremy Sproat and he wants to come up from Texas
for our next meeting. I know this one is at Todd's but I'm not sure about
the date and I need to fill him in.
We should also talk about what activities (besides trading ;-) we could do
at this meeting.
Thanks!
-Jon

I was going to wait for Chris Giddens to get home from vacation but I just
finished this page on his site (and I'm impatient) so I thought I'd unveil
it:

Hi all,
I'm sure you've heard about Target accidentally putting Jango Fett's Slave
I (#7153) on 50% off sale for $24.88. Don't bother going to the new super
Target at Memorial and Penn. I just bought the last 2 there tonight. If my
friend at work hadn't told me about the sale today, I probably wouldn't've*
been able to get there in time to get any.
I haven't checked the Target on May and Northwest Expressway yet. They
might have some there.
I have always wondered why the new Slave I is 2½ times more money than the
1st Slave I, when it isn't 2½ times the size.
Oh, and Todd, the new Slave I has two 1X2X3 inverted yellow slopes. That
rare piece is finally back in production.
See y'all at the June meeting,
Fuzzy
* The word "wouldn't've" is a new contraction of "would not have". I have
copywrighted the contraction, so any use of the new word will result in the
user paying me a nominal usage fee payable to my PayPal account. Reading this
text resluts in you agreeing to this user license...blah blah blah...

Hi all,
There's very little of any interest left here in the Oklahoma City K-Marts.
I went to 3 on the north side this week. They do have 50% off of all LEGOS,
but the selection is pretty shabby. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

James and I had a two way draft last year. One nice thing about a draft
with a smaller number of people is that sometimes you can just split a
particular part amongst all the players. James and I split 6 Imperial
Shuttles and split things like the plates and dark grey bricks.
Definitely a nice way to split up a stack of sets.

Some of the sets that the K-Mart has plenty of are the dinosaur sets (both big
ones and baby dinos), Studios sets, and soccer sets. There are a few of other
kinds also.

Hi everyone,
As I'm sure you all know the Star Wars Episode II sets came out with all
the other toys on April 23rd. However, not all stores have all of the big
sets.
The Super Wal-Mart here has the regular sets plus the UCS Yoda. The
Toys-R-Us has those, plus the Republic Fighter. The new Super Target has all
those plus the Episode IV Blockade Runner. I didn't even know that set was
going to be in stores. This is very nice since now you can get it and not pay
shipping (which would probably be a lot, because that thing is HEAVY).
The stores all seem to be well restocked in Harry Potter sets again too.
See everyone the 11th,
Fuzzy
