He came with Kevy and Susan.

Sign of a good party - flipping through the photos and seeing a shot of myself holding a glass and thinking, "Hmm, I don't remember drinking that."

He's just some strange guy we picked up on the way to the party.





As Greg said, he is a friend of ours. And sorry to disappoint you Steve, but he is straight.

Heheh, no that's not it. He just made a good impression on me. And seriously, about a DOZEN people have asked me about him since.


Tell him he was well-liked, and he has a permanent standing invitation to all fun happenings we make happen from now on.

Kevy should enjite him to the LoT as well!

For a quirkly, behind-the-scenes view (ahem, mine) of the spectacle that was Fifty Five Fifty, check out my el jay.


:confused: (Does anybody el jay anymore?)


Well, I still do sometimes. I have a unique take on Fifty Five Fifty - it was rife with the Bonita Effect.


What's that, you say? Check out the el jay. ;)

:cheers: Lots o' photos!

Oooh! I missed the party of the century, but now feel like I was there. The ATIS tribute was very fabulous!

Dude, very flattered to have my ruminations quoted. :)

Well, you summed things up so beautifully. :blush:

Ok, two weeks after and I've finally started to put things away. I need the big box I stored the Lego Pirate Ships in, so my first task was de-constructing them.

It took a long time, but perhaps a 10th the time it took to re-build them after being stored in their boxes for more than 20 years. As I took them apart and put like pieces in separate zip-locks to make it easier if anyone wants to ever build them again - which takes many hours - I couldn't help but ruminate on the insane level of detail and effort I put into Fifty Five Fifty. I think I'm nuts. :rolleyes:


I just realized now that I'm done, I made the oddly ironic choice of putting my birthday-gift Toy Story 1 and 2 blu-ray set on in the background, as I prepare to - what? - put the lego pirate ships back in storage for another 20 years? More likely forever. That's sad.

Hey, I'm glad and surprised I found a second use for them after saving them for 2 decades. But now that I have, I'm completely satisfied with my choice to keep them around. Now, I'm done and they are too cool to go in the attic forever.


If anyone wants them, or know a kid who wants them, or - well - has a kid that might want them in six or seven years after storage your attic (hint, hint, person whom I happily quoted in my el jay re-cap), I'd be more than happy to bestow them upon some happy child or child-at-heart.

We know you are

We'd love to have it (and future Theo would love it as well) but I have to say that if anyone else wants it for the here and now they can call dibs. As you say, if we take it, it will be in storage for a long time.

If no one wants it - there's always room for Lego. Thanks! :D
