What:

Yes, there were lots of fresh cookies.

BrickCon 2007 had a few leftover sets from the public raffle.
These will be donated to Toys for Tots.

BrickCon 2008 will be October 3--5, 2008, in the Exhibition Hall
at Seattle Center (18'-ceilings, David). More details will appear after
the new year. If you have ideas about how the website (brickcon.org)
should look/work, please share them with Wayne soon.

Steven recently built a (human-scale) minigolf hazard/gizmo out of
Lego, and is thinking about organizing Lego minigolf at BrickCon 2008.

Lino made a couple of new vehicles. You can see them in the
LUGNuts Flickr pool. Or, you know, in Lino's stream.

Daniel made a few Moonbase modules in his new area of focus:
"modules with regular connectors and fourth-level connectors" which he
will soon explain in lugnet.space and CSF, right?

The Lego Store has some 2008 product. Two newish Bob L'eponge
sets (4981 and 4982) are half price through 12/2/7, and there are a
variety of other specials throughout the store. There are also the PAB
boxes for pre-Christmas purchases over (redeemable after Christmas).

Tuesday Morning had four Batman sets for cheap for Black Friday;
some may still have them.

TRU has a variety of 2008 product, including seven Racers sets,
two Exo-force sets (including next month's draft set), two police sets,
and the new pink bucket.

Eight people participated in a Dirty Brickster.
