But seriously, welcome, indeed. Definitely come to the CranLib meeting this Saturday – it’s right in your neck of the woods, so no excuses! We’ll catch you up on what we’re planning, and see how you can help with that build or others.
We have tons of stuff going on this spring / summer. You can browse threads and / or we can talk Saturday about the various events, but here’s a rough (possibly incomplete) rundown:
Q2 Meeting / Build Day – April 5, but details not worked out yet.
Philly Brick Fest – April 24th weekend (Thurs-Sun). 2 days for AFOLs to learn and share, followed by 2 days for public display. We are planning on a 20×20′ display!
Ligonier RR Display – May 3. Probably will reuse much of the PBF display, but this is a one-day, train-centric display with the Ligonier Valley Railroad Association. We haven’t done much to the Eastern side of PGH and suburbs, so we’re hoping to garner some interest at that time for the Westmoreland Gallery in July
Cranberry Library Summer Display – Install in June, will stay thru August. Elements of this build may be used for the PBF display (not sure about that just yet.)
Westmoreland Museum of Art – month-long gallery display in July. Should be fantastic exposure, and a chance to showcase some different styles of building. We’re going to collaborate on some mosaic recreations of existing paintings, and everyone is welcome to contribute other MOCs, as well. We’re allowed / encouraged to sell items there, too! Most of us haven’t sold things in the past, but it’s an intriguing opportunity, depending on what we build, to test the waters.
Cranberry Days – find the thread or ask Tim; I don’t know many details on this one, save that it will be awesome! I think it’s in August…
OH! And Tim, posting links is as simple as this:
1) Open a thread in a new tab (say, the CranLib Summer Reading).
2) Copy the URL from your browser’s field
3) Type any old thing (say, “Fizz, Boom, Read!”) in your thread post
4) Highlight what you typed, click “link” on the toolbar at top of composition window
5) You’ll get a popup with a URL field – paste the URL you copied
And BAM: Fizz, Boom, Read!
