Hello from Washington State! I have been reading the front page of Eurobricks for a few years and figured I should finally take a look into the forums.
I have been pretty active in the local LEGO users group (SEALUG) since 2010, but not too much online. I have attended the last couple conventions in the NW USA (BrickCon and Bricks Cascade) and am contemplating traveling to more in the coming years.
I do not have any specific theme I build in, but have lately focused on mini-land scale, micro-scale and castle. I am an avid gamer, so a lot of my stuff has been based on different video games. Currently, looking at making a "large" (at least for me) pirate themed MOC and will be going through the classic-pirate forums to see what I can pick up.
