What:

NWBrickCon
came off sucessfully
made seed money for next year
will not happen next year without committed volunteers
persons needed for SCOPE
persons needed for subcommittees/tasks (publication, etc.)
volunteers should contact Wayne Hussey (eskimo-2@comcast.net)
want to have Con in October in Seattle Center
looking at various venues within Seattle Center
is good to schedule on Canadian Thanksgiving and not
during Maple Valley Train Show
the second weekend of October may be optimal
consider sharing overhead with another event (con, train show,
robotics show, etc.)

LEGO sales

Fred Meyer has something (Thomas & Friends?) on sale this week,
and apparently older KKII sets are half price at some
locations
Costco has the T1-Typhoon for a moderate but not Earth-shaking
price

2006 products
many 2006 products have been leaked or announced---check the usual
suspects (especially EuroBricks)
TLC has issued press releases about three new licensed product
lines (Avatar: The Last Airbender, Batman, and SpongeBob
Squarepants)

SEALUG's new mushroom bin system for drafting was employed

Christmas season, we will be having a Dirty Brickster.
