Visit at LEGO HQ

The coolest businesscard in the world...
on the back is email and phone#.


Wednesday I went on a visit-trip to LEGO HQ in Billund. 
This was arranged by the Official Danish AFOL association Byggepladen for 40 members.

The program was fantastic and was as follows:
Firste 1 hour by Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, the Chiefdesigner of Starwars LEGO who also did the USC Millinnium Falcon

Then Jamie Berard talked with us for an hour about the GreenGrocer and CC wich is his work and on his part in the anniversary set.

After this Anders Gaasedal came and talked about his new job at LEGO as technic designer and the motorbike he did wich is out now.

At last and as a great final, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, CEO, came to tell us about LEGO then, now and in the future. We got the chance to ask a lot of questions and got some great answers. 
In all it was a nice day and cool to see the other fans.

Thanks to all and a special one to Jørgen and Jan

Sounds great - I see a future for Lego human business cards - I would like one with our company logo and my name on it !

This site got me thinking of Nathan Sawaya - A lawyer that became a LEGO artist (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/05/31/lego.artist/index.html) - nice to have a plan B with ones career !! Hey, Barner

Man, I was a little jealous when you told me about the event - now I've turned a darker shade of green! Must have been the same feeling I had the first time I stepped into Hamley's in London as a kid; pure pleasure.
