Hi.
Wow it has been a long two weeks.
Well, nearly two weeks: I just got my computer back online last night.
In any case, I hope to catalogue the past two weeks in multiple entries, starting with BrickFair.
Thursday saw me flying off to Washington, DC, ahead of the inbound Hurricane Gustav. Setup went fairly well, given the help I had. (Thank you, Roa & DV, for being my stand-in helpers, as well as bringing the great MOCs.) As anyone who attended the open fair Saturday or Sunday could see, BIONICLE was front and center, and, in fact, one of two attractions one could see without having paid admission (the other being the crane holding up the Brickfair banner).
Some random observations, in near-chronological order:
- I hope to never drive in NYC if B6's automobile operation is any indication of the level of skill required.
- Makaru is tall.
- It's not easy to relax when your girlfriend is slogging through Friday night evacuation traffic.
- "Come with me if you want to live."
- Smeag could be the driver in any defensive driving video: his car is physically incapable of exceeding any posted speed limit.
- I'm not good at bingo.
- Smeag & Makaru were clearly separated at birth. It is sad that their reunion took as long as it did.
- Socks are not overrated, but apparently shoes are.
- Everyone needs a little Mardi Gras.
- Kohaku is a world record holder.
- The Black Mage has been avenged!
- Never trade material for position: I could have won a $200 LEGO chess set, but squandered a huge early lead.
- Chipotle should consider expanding to the Gulf coast: I wonder about all these taco truck taquieras.
- There is a zen about building a set, be it SYSTEM or BIONICLE, that is hard to replicate.
- Never let a drunken ninja drive your squid-mobile.
- Steve Witt is one of the best things ever to come out of northeast Texas.
- Omi has a fear of parallel parking.
- Wet ribs > dry ribs > CPK
I regret that I won't be able to be the coordinator for BIONICLE next year. I'm going to have other, more important things to worry about right about when the planning should be done, so I will defer to my protégés (Kohaku, CF, DV) for the 2009 version.
Oh, and CF, your MOCs are with the violin teacher, and you can pick them up at the next WAMALUG meeting. Sorry, but I never caught which address you wanted them sent to, and mailing back was very very hectic, as will be seen in the next entry.
Much more to come from KIE's wild ride.
Adventure, wooo...
