In Other News Part 2 - Lego Brick Expo 2012

Last year when Neil and I went to Lego Brick Expo, we noticed that there was a "VIP Dinner".  So this year we decided we'd go along to it.  I was expecting more people from the general public, but it was mainly exhibitors and other people already involved with the day.  Still, it was a lot of fun, and the best thing was getting to look around the exhibition not only with no crowds, but sipping on champagne :)

The Saturn V rocket was super awesome

My creation (with a bit of help).  Pretty tragic really, I'm not creative at all!
