Excellent idea Alex....one of the things I like about LBPC is that it's so international. Hope you UK folks post lots of pics and vids and blog your impressions. (Let us know in this thread if you blog it) Enjoy!

Well, no matter WHAT big city it'd go to, I wouldn't be able to make it. (Downside of Texas: Takes forever to get anywhere, IN-state.) But let's hope there's some sort of LBP shop set up in some big American city, too. Like New York, something like that. After all, New York would really be the perfect place, considering the amount of on-foot traffic there.
