Where in the World is… Kevin Hinkle?
I want to work with Kevin Hinkle one day.
This weekend I will be heading out to the birthplace of The LEGO Group: Billund, Denmark.

If you’d like a visual, just imagine the council of Elrond from the Lord of the Rings. We just need to decide who is going to take the ring to mordor.
