Davey Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Hey fellow Eurobricks members! Many of you know that we recently displayed our LEGO layout at the La Crosse Model Train Show. While we were there, we met one of the reporters from our local newspaper (The La Crosse Tribune). A few days after the show, he called us and said he had decided to do a feature story on our LEGO collection and home layout. He and a photographer came over last week for about 3 hours one evening and hung out while we were in the 'LEGO Lair'. Stacy and I wanted to share the article he wrote with all of you here on Eurobricks. We were the lead story this past Sunday, April 11th, 2010 in the La Crosse Tribune and the Winona Daily News. It may be small town news, but it was still a lot of fun and Chris Hubbuch of the La Crosse Tribune wrote a great article. You can view what actually ran in the paper on our Flickr Photostream. You can also check out the online article at the La Crosse Tribune Website. We hope you all enjoy reading the article as much as we enjoyed being a part of it! -Davey Quote
Big Cam Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 That is awesome!! Congrats on the recognition and I am jealous of your basement, that's phenominal! Quote
Siegfried Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Cool! Great article.... and stunning collection! Thanks for sharing. Quote
WhiteFang Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Simply wonderful! This is a very positive way of promoting awareness to the general public of our addicted hobby. You are telling the rest of the AFOLs, that it's very much possible to have the other half to support this hobby together. I am really envy of you. Thanks Dave for sharing this with us. Quote
Noworries Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I didnt know the phrase "one-by-five" for a pretty girl... now i know what to call my girlfriend when she comes home from her family Guess her face Davey, congrats to the article ... must be great to have the basement full of legos :P Quote
Rick Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Congratulations on that frontpage. A really entertaining read. Just wondering what mini-fig-urines are... Quote
Davey Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks everyone for the kind words! We really had a blast working with the local paper on this article. I'm glad we managed to convey the idea of having LEGO as a 'family' hobby and hopefully this inspires some people to build. Just today at lunch we had a mom and her son recognize us at a local store. The mom said that the article prompted her son to pull out his LEGO Train set and start playing with it. Score one for LEGO! Congratulations on that frontpage. A really entertaining read.Just wondering what mini-fig-urines are... I didn't even see that the first time I read it. That is hilarious. Maybe he didn't realize the proper term was Minifigure. He did get all of the other LEGO-specific lingo right so I was super impressed by that. -Davey Quote

Corvus Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Funny- our local paper recently ran an article on model builders. I was wondering if there had been any articles on AFOLs, and well... here we go. That's neat that you got the coverage. The Tetris MOC is great. Quote
