My fellow mods and regulars here know I'm a Lego fan in addition to being a TJB (as well as A&M Records and I.R.S. records) fan...
Almost every community has a LUG or "Lego Users Group" for AFOLs, or "Adult Fans Of Lego."
Well, I found the San Diego group and joined. My first monthly meeting with the group had a "Lego Rock Band" contest. I entered a TJB stage " scene. My pitch to the "jury" was that contests and American Idol were tailored to rock and/or soloists. I expressed my desire to see a "Jazz Idol" or multi-instrument versions of these particualr games...
Anyway, my entry won the grand prize at my first meeting so I was pretty excited. One member runs a FLICKR account and I learned that an image or two or three of my TJB scene is posted there. Here's a link:

They're slightly different than the images here at A&M corner from a few years ago... Unfortunately I misplace Tonni and (since I was going for the "classic" here) removed Julius. But they're not bad images. I think I may have taken a bit of an edge in the competition by showing pictures of my "Lego Bull" and "Whipped Lego" album cover reproductions next to my model. Then, on the other hand, I may have won simply because they wanted to make the "new guy" feel welcome! (Which I do).
I'll post any A&M-related models here in the future...
