Report

It was a new show venue, and new misadventures as Michiana-LUG displayed at The Geek Group's Open House on January 21st. The show got off to a rough start, with Amy arriving late thanks to her online directions deciding the location was in Battle Creek instead of Kalamazoo. Scott-luck struck again as well as his nice cushion of time mysteriously dissappeared. Purple Dave would've been there as well, had his poor car not conked out somewhere between Detroit and Kalamazoo late in the night. The only misfortune to befall Stefan was being locked out in the snow for 15 minutes. All the other things Stefan had happen wrong were just plum stupidity.

Once everyone was there, we started setting up, and Stefan found out he had a fair bit less track than he had thought. Luckily, Amy was willing to move her library to accomodate an on the fly revision. Scott set about laying out the space portion of our display. Despite all the early setbacks, by show open we had trains running and stormtroopers playing soccer. Throughout the day there was a steady if small stream of people around the displays. Crowds tended to disperse whenever a TGG demonstration (read flashes and explosions) was going on.

The day waned, and the people went home. Thanks to the help of some TGG members teardown went quickly as we simply had to clear the tables, and they would dismantle them. Amy loaded up her buildings, Scott loaded up the Tahoe, and Stefan re-stuffed his car. After everything was loaded, we headed over to Cracker Barrel for dinner.

This new venue was a fun and unique opportunity, and we hope to do many more shows with them in the future!

Thanks

TGG - for hosting us at their show.
