Photograph courtesy Abe Friedman. — Constantine had two bridges built of Znap which he’d prepared for the canceled Manassas show with help from Greg’s inventory of black pieces.

Photograph courtesy Abe Friedman. — This is what he built out of what he had left. For emergency use only, eh?

Photograph courtesy Abe Friedman. — Christina brought stuff—she’s been building!

Photograph courtesy Constantine Hannaher. — The interior of Christina’s octagonal tower.

Photograph courtesy Constantine Hannaher. — L-shaped medieval town building with plenty of rooms.

Photograph courtesy Constantine Hannaher. — …positions please, everyone…

Photograph courtesy Constantine Hannaher. — …frazzled A.D.s scramble to coordinate the multiple cameras for the elaborate stunt…

Photograph courtesy Constantine Hannaher. — …think Diaz, Barrymore, and Liu, I’m told. ;-)

Now that LEGO®’s closest event this summer will be in Baltimore, Christina will try to stir up interest from the membership in putting on a display. We are told emphatically that the Sunday pass option to attend BrickFest™ next month is no longer valid.
