First post! And an alligator.
Hi there, my name is Sean, and I'm a professional LEGO builder... I meet a lot of people that think I have a pretty darn cool job (and I personally have to agree) so I thought it would be fun to share my wacky adventures with everyone in the bloggy world.
So, to start... This weekend, I helped build an 8-foot tall LEGO Alligator at FAO Schwarz in New York City, together with about 2 zillion very excited kids. (See 10 photos)
The highlight of the whole event came towards the end of the last day. A mom came by carrying a little girl, and put her down to watch us build. The girl was so small she didn't see the velvet ropes we were working behind... the second her mom put her down, she darted clear under them and sat straight down between me and one of the other builders. She then proceeded to grab LEGO bricks and add them to our LEGO alligator, completely oblivious to her mother beckoning "sweetie come back! you're not supposed to be over there!" She was so completely enamored with this LEGO sculpture that I couldn't even get her attention away... I eventually had to lift her up and carry her back to her mom. It was all incredibly cute.
Doing events like these make you feel like Santa Claus. :)
