It's quiet in here..

Hi all! It's so quiet in here, I just saw a tumbleweed roll by!!! Seriously though, what's everyone up to? Myself, I'm not up to much, just easing myself into the new year. Does anyone have anything special planned for Australia Day? I'm having some friends around for a beer and BBQ.

Australia Day fireworks in Canberra on the lake, looking forward to ending a brilliant weekend at Brickvention with a bang!

I am hoping today to get a chance to start building up some of my technic sets, I am not sure I if I want to build them all up or just a couple and use the rest of my parts to try and design / build a "super car"

Oz Day for the last few years has been either Hottest 100 parties or going to Big Day Out. Spent way too much money this weekend already so have just been sweating it out in the summer heat, listening to JJJ and drinking with some mates.

Darrow and I were at a hottest 100 BBQ, I've been a bit quite here lately due to my involvement with Brickvention.

I'm still psyching up to sorting some LEGO into boxes.
Haven't been MOCing that much due to this.

I'm still here, just quietly building sets of all sorts in readiness for the local Model Makers Expo here in Hobart in mid to late March.

Drop me a line if your interested in coming down to display your lego as I say the more the merrier.

Hellooooo, sometimes I feel like I am having a conversation with myself! Everybody's busy I suppose hence the amazing traffic on the forum!

I was just start a topic here but saw this one which had the exact subject title I was thinking about!!!

I check on here almost everyday but never a whole lot of new posts

Well posting to topics is the only way to make new posts! :D

I was going to make posts out of 1x4 plates but they were too tall.

I actually frequent here quite a bit, but I've been bad and have not posted too much. I'm actually busy getting stuck into a MOC for the upcoming AMRA train show in October in Liverpool in Sydney. I kind of regret not going to Brickexpo, But there is a next year!!!.

We should all make an effort to create a new topic (for example new Mocs, how to plan an exhibition/convention, what we'd be interested in seeing, what our future plans are, etc) and post our views in each others topics. Even with the five recent posters to this topic that would be 25 posts. By resurrecting this topic continually we re-inforce the notion that its quiet here rather than do something about it.

That is why I started the AMRA thread the other day, plus I like the irony of the quiet in here thread getting traffic

There is not much posting of MOCS on ANZFOL, but lets start changing that. I'll put my AMRA stuff on here, but it isn't finished yet.

What am I up to??
Hi everyone, just got back from the UK. I "survived " the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch yesterday at 4.30 in the morning. We got water mains back yesterday afternoon, and got power back just now. Still can't use the bathroom because sewage pipes are shot. Our house is fine although the centre of the city got thrashed. Only one person died, and that was from a heart attack. because it was in the morning no one was outside. the streets are filled with rubble.

You could always patch up the holes with LEGO bricks?

Wow, glad your ok. Some of the footage from the news was incredible. After all the insurance work and rubble removed and buildings fixed, this is something you'll never forget.

Yes, you're all very bad for not posting anything for ages....Oh wait.

School's been busy...holidays soon though.
