Want to Display Your Models at LEGOPalooza 2010?

Would you like to join us in displaying LEGO models at LEGOPalooza 2010? You can! I have posted information about how you can join NCLUG on a new page cleverly entitled “Joining NCLUG”. We’re currently planning some of the general layouts, but nothing is set in stone yet – you can contribute anything to the event, from giant multiple-table layouts to individual trucks or spaceships for group layouts. We must ask that you let us know before bringing LEGO to dispaly – you can coordinate with other LEGO fans in the area through the NCLUG Yahoo! Group.

Additionally, we are planning to get in at least one more regular meeting (and a few smaller planning meetings that we won’t announce on this website) before LEGOPalooza 2010. You’re welcome to join NCLUG and discuss ideas for displays (and show us what you’ve been building!) at any of those meetings.

EDIT 2/3/2010: Please note that the date for LEGOPalooza 2010 has changed.

New look for the NCLUG web site

The NCLUG web site has a new look today.  The site had been running an older version of WordPress and the theme being used for the site didn’t support widgets.  It has been time for a refresh for a while but finding time to do it has been an issue.

The site is now running the latest (2.8.5) release of WordPress and a new LEGO theme I have been working on which is based on the Sandbox theme.  If you run into anything that doesn’t look right or doesn’t work correctly, drop me an e-mail.

Pictures from the LEGO Experience Tour

Here are a few pictures from my visit to the LEGO Experience Tour at the North Carolina State Fair this Saturday.  Isabelle and I spent about an hour playing with the bricks and doing the various activities.
