Since Brickfair happened during the normal meeting time the August meeting will be 8/13. See the forums for more details.

BrickFair 2011 was very successful! Everyone enjoyed the layout that I was able to meet. Later this evening I hope to have some pictures of the event and the PennLUG display up on the site here. So look for this post to get a slide show.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the PennLUG display and said ‘Hi’. 🙂

Howdy, Brickfair 2011 is upon us and setup has begun. Let me tell you the layout this year is tremendous and we are still working. Please come out to and say “Hi” and check out the group display!!
Public days Sat-Sun.

Evil Jack (Joel) posted some interesting information on a new LEGO Beta Site called Cuusoo. The idea is pretty neat if you can get 10,000 people to like your creation or project then LEGO might make that an offical LEGO set. It’s already been done for someone in Japan.


Discussion is happening on the forums, but also visit the official LEGO Cuusoo Site at http://lego.cuusoo.com/

BrickFair is quickly approaching. We’ve got several posts on hotels, and other information in the Forums. Please visit them to keep up with the goings on and preparation for BrickFair. BrickFair’s Official Site

Also we’re looking for volunteer’s to help build some tables there are two proposed dates please see the forums to vote for a day if you can help out.

BrickMagic was a huge success and a lot of fun. I wasn’t able to attend personally, but the photos say a lot. I missed a great time.
