We had so much fun at our first-ever convention -- Brick Fest Live in Secaucus, NJ, this past weekend. Thanks to our hosts, Clutch and Mark and all the fine folks at BFL, the gracious staffers at the Meadowlands Expo Center, and most of all the fans that stopped by our exhibit to talk about our MOCs and who shared our love of bricks! Looking forward to the next one!

members Lyn Miller-Lachmann, James Corbe, Howard Roy Katz, Moa Sanchez and Sid Dinsay gathered for a group build in the Flatiron District. Several gawkers and a correct guesser later -- a gentleman correctly identified our attempt at the New York Public Library's Main Branch in Manhattan -- we came away with an almost finished model. The top photo shows the building 99 percent complete. Thanks to The LEGO Company for allowing us to participate in this fun LUG challenge!
