Whoops

Sorry about those weird posts earlier - I was trying to post from my phone. I got an "all is well" confirmation text back, but apparently the system was lying to me.

In general, just a quick post to say I just got back from closing ceremonies. It's been an amazing convention - I'm going to have to work up a page or two to go over all the amazing.

Some highlights:

• I brought a bunch of MST3k LEGO to the show.
• The MST3k guests (Trace, Joel, Frank, and Mary Jo) signed many of them. Trace and I even talked briefly about his childhood collection of LEGO. Yes, I have photos.
• Two items of non-MST3k art I entered into the art show sold.

Oh...

And I won the award for "BEST AMATEUR ARTIST."

Yes, this is a huge deal. Yes, there's a swanky trophy. No, I had no idea this was going to happen.

Anyway, more on this after I get back to Detroit on Tuesday sometime.

Brickworld: Day 2

I'm having a great time here at Brickworld. Haven't taken that many photos (yet) but you can watch for updates in my Flickr Stream by clicking the image above.

MST3k: Tom and Crow

I decided to go ahead and write up a construction review of the Bots pre-convention.

If you're interested in how I put the guys together, check out my journal of the build.

MST3k: Crow and Tom in LEGO

For those of you who think I never build anything anymore...I present to you Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo from the show Mystery Science Theater 3000.

These guys will be at BrickWorld in June and CONVergence in July. Come by and say "hello!" They won't answer, because they're only LEGO replicas, not the real thing. But I somehow think they'd still like the attention....

I'll write up a full review on these guys after the conventions, but in the meantime you can check out more photos of them at my Flickr stream.

Brickworld

Well, I'm all signed up to attend Brickworld in June.

This will be the first LEGO-centric convention I've attended - I'm looking forward to the experience.
