I will aim for that 2pm time frame as well to help as best I can with install before I have to head out for Sav’s horseback.
Here is a small glimpse of the new conference room. It is quite large, has windows facing facing the new “Great Lawn” space and in keeping with Cranberry tradition is irregularly shaped. I imagine we can do a loop of table displays similar to past displays in the larger open area. The only thing I am for sure bringing is the new gift MOC I made. Though I may have to pass it off to someone beforehand and join to staff/teardown later.
Built for winter display. Not an animal but get to show off some of the versatility of 1*2 round plates.
Why clear out free pest control? House centipiedes are completely harmless to people and houses and completely lethal to all the other pests. Good luck catching them anyways. If you see one just poke it and it’ll run to the nearest dark space it can find and go back to work hunting the real pests. Spiders also play their part. Apart from a few notable exceptions (Widows and Brown recluces mainly around here) I let spiders be as long as they stay out of the way. Anything else deserves a quick death and the house centipedes get a chastisement for not doing their jobs 😄
My stuff can stay. I don’t recommend moving the dragonfly though as it’s somewhat delicate and prone to breakage. Other stuff can be shifted as needed if folks switch stuff out/need a better vantage.
I’ll participate in some way shape and form. May mean I have someone else set up stuff for me and then I’ll join later on to staff/tear down.
Home & Garden 24 isn’t listed but I coulda swore it was on there before… As I understood it Josh had it programmed to auto populate based on the sign up sheets. Looks like something might have broke.
I was actually discussing this with Krista the other day and I thought wouldn’t it be cool if we did something akin to the Movies Plesantville or The Wizard if Oz. i.e. build something that starts out in monotone grey and then transitions into an explosion of color. Could be anything. A bulding that is greyscale at the bottom but vibrant up top A minfig scene that’s grayscale on the left but gets more color as you go to the right. Or you could do something similar to Schindler’s list’s red coat girl (although hopefully a more upbeat subject). i.e. maybe a vibrant stainglass that pops against a grey backdrop. This would also make for a good quarterly challenge and that would hopefully allow us to produce a plethora of builds so we can populate all the library dispalys in the summer (minus Northland that does it’s own thing).
I have a 5k in the morning so I can’t make it if it’s done in the morning. However I pulled my build out tonight so no worries.
Yes, front parking lot is gone. There is a new small parking lot on the side of the building closest to 19 but it’s being used for the construction stuff at the moment and isn’t very viable for library installs…but maybe for First Stop Cranberry when/if they have us back. I’ve never used the door that’s inside the Children’s room because I think they have to disable the alarm. However I have started using the door that goes to the current outside reading area that’s next to the South Franklin room. Given that your castle is out. I’ll probably just go snag my Dragon soon but if/when folks need help getting their stuff out just hit me up and I’ll see if I can come down.
Heh Melissa would be quite upset if I didn’t bring the Iguana. The snake will indeed also be making an appearance. They are hoping the township cancels their meeting so we get the Franklin Room but most likely it will be Lego in the story time room and/or at the tables as you just walk into the children’s room. Apparently there’s been quite the excitement about this event. Lots of kids and lots of Lego. Hopefully it will be a lot of fun for everyone.
Only definite no is Q3 (Aug 31st). Outside of that I’ll aim to come by to help. In a pinch I can grab my dragon out a little early if you do go for the 31st.
It’s Thursday the 25th from 6-7:30. There isn’t a unique thread for this, Tim F had posted about it on this thread before summer started. The more folks the merrier. Maybe bring some example MOCs to show off if you come but this is a low pressure event so no expectations other than to show up and play with Lego.
@jrosie Tim F marked everyone down that contributed. It won’t get put into the system till after we tear down though and everything is tallied up for setup, display and tear down. Tear Down will likely be sometime end of July/beginning of August after the Summer Reading program ends for Cranberry but we haven’t set a date/time yet to my knowledge.
I tested my dragon when I was there with Jim earlier. My plan was to hang it on the right side. I wanted to makes some improvements to the legs and wings tonight so I didn’t leave it and will be there in the morning.
This is the dragon I’ll be suspending. It’s a heavily modified version of the D&D set dragon. Sav says looks more like a griffin…oh well lol.
Alright. Bumped into @tcsbgdady today. He won’t be able to make install on Sat, so we’re going to meet up that Friday (31st) afternoon to put his stuff in. Be a great time if anyone else can’t do Saturday to get their stuff in. Not sure 100% on time yet but say 1-ish.
In other news @timf I know I’m late to the party but I am available July 25th to help out. Not sure if you messeged them yet.
So I am out of town for Q2 and the install. I would like to display the M-Tron ship MOC for this if someone (@knb112?) can do a hand off before then. @tcsbgdady also mentioned wanting to send something as well. I can pick his stuff up before and hand both off, if someone’s willing.
Just got back from Belize. Wife works and we’re catching up on things, so I doubt I’ll be able to make it over this weekend.
Anything I build for this will be suspended and there’s usually plenty of space for that. In a pinch I have the blacksmith for filler.
