Hey guys that's awesome!!! Seems like every time you guys do something you
set the bar higher for the rest of us, keep it up! Good luck with the
record.
You mention TLC is co-sponsoring the event, what are they doing to help you
guys?

Do not want this to sound too snobby, but the terms of our agreement with LEGO
are proprietary and we do not wish to disclose them.

Time lag here...
Deferring to Ben's statement, I've pushed right to the limit what PNLTC can
devulge (ref my other reply splitting this thread). dp/PNLTC

James,
As an official co-sponsor of the mega-event, LSI is providing some train items
at special rates. They may have a banner and company reps at the event. I
also hope to present the event and the 30-plus records we intend to set/break
at the July Kidvention. This would include our interesting solutions to track
power challenges, a track plan, and some other highlights. I've yet to
confirm an invite from LLC but is there any interest in hearing this from all
the AFOLs planning to attend?

Well it all sounds great! I can't wait to see how it all works out. I need
to work on a way to get out there for sure. I had a feeling you guys were up
to something big, y'all were being just too quite lately.

James,
it would be a treat to have you, reps from the other LTCs, and any other
LUGNETeers in town for the spectacle-event. I'm sure PNLTC would let you in
if you brought some rolling stock and track.
Btw, I *never* trust the guy who's been very quiet. Oops, I guess I've been
very quiet for some time now. Uhm, forget I said that. ;)
