About this creation
(Not pictured: ten hour drive through crops, mountains, and badlands. Mountains were fun, the others were boring.)
School's... been blown... to... pieces...Heather and Lino carrying in the Dollhouse.
Head over to Flickr for an account of my exhilarating meeting with Lino.Alex Eylar safe at home in the Alex Eylar Kitchen:This is a cat, apparently. Took me about a day to figure that out. I thought it was the Joker for a while. I can't be the only one who didn't see it was a cat.The word "honky" comes to mind; not sure why.I miss the Big Wheel, and all the other deadly toys that would seriously mess with your day. Me.Look who I met!This thing was my favorite of the MOCs on display.Nudist camp. Genius.Above, another one of my favorites.The Pick-a-Brick boxes. Lots of head... heads, I mean. Plural.The robot played songs, in case it's not clear. Amazing.Trojans, wood, men inside, connotations of horses...If I say the words "grease fire," only three people in the world will know what I mean, and how funny it is.The scratch-and-dent tables at the Lego store. I walked off with $240 worth; only had to pay $126.Inside the store. The line was a killer.The mall let us stay after hours. Nice little "Dawn of the Dead" vibe once the gates are locked and the lights are down.The drunken speed build:Alcohol, nerds, and Lego are such an entertaining mix.Championship round... so to speak. 
(Not pictured: ten hour drive back home, in which I nearly simultaneously froze to death, died of hunger, and fell asleep driving.)

Private vault huh? Hmmm...I can only imagine what THOSE pictures are like. ;-)

If any of those pics see the light of day, I have my own arsenal of photos to fight back with. ;) |

All it's missing is the pic of SigFiggy Phipson with camera in hand at the "resort" (a show of hands how many of you knew I would make THAT comment?). Looks like it was fun, but we're gonna show you what a real Lego con is like in June... you just wait. Sterling's got the Van of love ready to go and I hear he even added a futon in the back (one of those jokes that only 5 or 6 people in the world would get). Thanks for the tour! ~ Chris. |

I love the caption for the Alice Cooper head héhé lots of great MOCs, thanks for the pics ! PS I don't love the guns with the american/"german" flags but it's only my opinion.

If I'd been able to make it I would have taken many surprise pics of you and threatened to splash them all over the internet unless you did my nefarious bidding. |

Nice pictures Alex. Looks like a fun time and a lot of cool MOC's. I wish I had been able to stay out there. But I am severely disappointed that the one picture you have of Heather is a blurry picture where you can only see her right shoulder. Dude...where are you priorities? I was expecting scandal...and you leave me with nothing. Anyway, glad you scored some good deals at the store. That's always fun. Wait til this summer. We'll all pile into the 'LEGO Love Machine' and drive to the LEGO Store Sale during BW. :-) |

Well NOW there is no need for me to post my pics since they're all the same as yours. Meh, perhaps I will anyhow. And thanks for sparing the masses the sight of me. :) |

Sterling - Heather greeted almost every picture I took of her with what sounded like a stifled scream, and urged me to delete them. The ones that passed inspection are in my private vault, and you CAN'T HAVE THEM! MINE! |

Evidently, it was a great time. As we used to say back in my college days -- "Glad you didn't make it home dead!" |
