Forbidden Lego

I can't wait for Forbidden Lego, the book of secret, unendorsed Lego contraptions made by Lego Masters. Diagrams and instruction for building a toy gun that shoots LEGO plates, a candy catapult, a high voltage LEGO vehicle, a continuous-fire ping-pong ball launcher, and other kooky stuff your mom wouldn't want you to make. The official website has a sample diagram and the complete table of contents. This one looks like a winner, and we'll be carrying it for sure!

McCloud Clan wrap-up

A terrific time was had by all at our Scott McCloud appearance. Wine flowed and much cheese was eaten. There are very few pictures yet, as I was pretty busy with my hostmaster general duties, but I'm sure a few will pop up.

For documentary evidence of a different sort, try this blog entry by Hijinx irregular, and all around good egg, Matt Doar. Try to contain your excitement as you read his other blog entries about bug tracking, build configuration and source code control. Riveting stuff!

You may also be interested in reading this blog entry from the official Making Comics tour blog. Nice things are said about the store and the event, and I'd have to say it was one of the nicest events we've ever had in the store.
