In the venue

Dear all,

Today the all the necessary things for the event arrived at Event City: lots of models, tv-screens, computers, printers, banners, WiFi accesspoint, even more models, a stadium (which is NOT the Olympic stadium) and an endless number of other important things. So the first thing we did when we were able to enter the venue was to unload all these things. However during the delivery some of the boxes in the pods fell onto a part of the stadium, which was hereby, as you can easily imagine, severely damaged. Therefore Dirk and me spent a large part of the morning reconstructing a part of the stadium. The process of doing so was sometimes rather frustrating, however the end result was extremely rewarding, the stadium looked fabulous. Next we continued to unload the pods and set up the office, from which I am actually blogging right now.

After lunch work started on the conference room for the AFOLCON. While Warren and Kitty worked on the sound- and display-system. Meanwhile Dirk and me struggled to up a wall made out of Lego banners. Warren was experiencing trouble connecting with a webcam, which will be streaming during the show. It turned out that the ethernet cable was not connected to Warrens PC, however this still did not fix the problem.  Next we distributed all the stuff across the entire hall and marked all the different areas on the floor using gaffer-tape. Using the left over tape I constructed a ball about the size of a tennis ball, however the ball was rather hard, which was discovered by Warren when he tried to head it.
I have posted some pictures, first some of the venue at the end of today. Next a picture of one of the most impressive Olly's out of Dirks impressive collection, a chrome plated one.......
