You know, if you just want to check it out without exhibiting…

I’ve done a few of his Tampa events. They’re a fun experience (the hang-out-with-AFOLs part is still enjoyable without a formal schedule or games) but the pay for travel costs doesn’t usually cover all of the travel costs in my…Read more

I’ve got directions for the Nova deck so far, but that looks like it’ll run $12/day.

I’m looking at arriving around 3 PM tomorrow.

I’ll probably pop over there after the Maker Mash at the Children’s Museum ends at 7:30 on Friday, and then again on Saturday night.

Getting more into MOCs – I keep forgetting that my “old crap everyone’s seen already” hasn’t really been seen by everyone already. I’m still really behind on current photos, but a friend of mine got overview shots of most of my island at…Read more

How do helpers get in if we don’t get badges? Regular admission isn’t free, and I’d assume we’d need a badge to get in without paying it…

The GBC module I’ve been working on does have a self-feeding feature. If no one else is doing GBC, I’ll stick with just the one instead of trying to get my other…Read more

First question: Is there anyone interested in splitting a hotel room? I’m definitely going to need somewhere nearby to stay that Friday and Saturday night, Sunday might be good too.

I’m game for GBC – I’ve got one new module ready to go, a few old ones I can clean up, and a few ideas for new ones. What…Read more

One thing that worked well at Maker Faire NC back in the day was a MUJI make-and-take – kids cut out various shapes, use LEGO-sized hole punches and connect the paper pieces together with 1 x 1 round plates (we had a…Read more

The Call for Makers is now open for this year’s Maker Faire Pittsburgh. I know Steel City LUG participated last year but I don’t know what that entailed.

I’m planning on going, although I haven’t decided on what I’ll bring yet – I’ll probably plan around what sort of themes/collaborative things Steel City LUG is…Read more

One and the same. I don’t really call it a GBC (there’s nothing motorized in it), but I’ve been pushing the DUPLO Ball Run since last November and it’s getting traction (my display based around it at National Maker Faire last weekend took home two ribbons).

I’ve exhibited MOCs at BrickUniverse events in Dallas and Raleigh. The public days offer considerably more themed play areas than other events – instead of just one or two “Stay and Play” type areas, there have separate ones for “Friends”, “Star Wars”, and “Architecture”, as well as the monochrome sort you see at Kids…Read more

I moved to Harrisburg recently from the middle of no where in Florida, and have kept up with my previous habit of travelling a few hours for LEGO events.
