    DSC_5514-2 LEGOPalooza 2011 is going on this weekend at the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill. It is sponsored by NCLUG (North Carolina Lego Users Group) and is a free event.  They had a lot of interesting and unique displays and Lego compilations.  I was particularly impressed with the two very large Star Wars dioramas of Endor and Hoth.

    This was a nice event – some repeats from the previous Brick Magic event but that wasn’t terrible.  The lights in the room were terrible.  It was an unfortunate mix of poor lighting and not enough.  The images didn’t come out as well as I would have liked and Cara got several of the better ones that were taken of the large pieces.  Maybe this year’s Brick Magic will be better suited for taking pictures. (Put it on your calendar May 7-8, 2011.)

    More pictures after the jump…

    Paging Eddie! I thought these kids were pretty cool. I watching this on YouTube where they had a broken link to a fund raiser in the UK. (Too bad I would have plugged them here.)

    Unfortunately this is one of my least favorite Iron Maiden songs. I would have loved it if they had done Aces High or Run to the Hills.  Guess you can’t get everything.

    It is Friday so the nonsense posting is in full effect – have something fun to share – email it to me.

    I found this pretty amusing but strangely not at all surprising. Actually I find it more surprising that Steve Harvey is hosting Family Feud. I wouldn’t have figured him for wanting to be a game show host. First Drew Carey and now this?

    Is this what comedians that can’t overdoes do when they pass their prime. In this economy I guess any job is a good job.

    The dragon for the bow of our viking ship is done – at least conceptually.  He was assembled from scraps and the initial decoration phase with red and black duct tape has begun.  The goal was to have a real looking but not terribly scary piece of bow art that would fit with the viking theme.

    This is the concept build – once it is decorated completely it should look like a reasonable rendering of what one would think belongs on the front of a viking ship.
