This will certainly be a top topic for tonight! I am very thankful for
the offer. I've been meaning to wander by DM space for quite a while
(since the maker fair 2 years ago!). 
Lego build night sounds like more fun than is legal in Ga. :-)

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
- Speech 11/23/1900 Mark Twain
