Good idea, Southern. Any ideas, anyone? I'm booked on the weekends until mid-october and then again for Halloween, but Mondays, Thursdays, & Fridays can work (as long as I'm not out of town for the weekend).
BTW, everyone--I got a job! It pays better than mine did in AL, so it's all good! Anyway, that's why weekends will be harder for me--we have to do all our family visits Friday/Saturdays. And I'll be working downtown, so any future meetings we have should be easier for me to get to! 
All that to say....Thursday Sept 30th is good, Monday Oct 5th, Thursday & Friday Oct 7th & 8th...I could go on, but eveyone elese should give a few dates and we'll see if we have anything in common and plan around it. Any suggestions on where/what we do?

Mondays are good for me.
From our discussion last night, downtown seems a good place for most to meet. The Northshore has lots of restaurants,etc. to offer. Here's a few ideas:
Subway
Stone Cup Roasting (I know the owner and can talk to her about us meeting there)
CyberLan Cafe
What's everyone think?
I've never been to CyberLAN. This website talks about them:

I"m all for having a third meeting soon  How does next week sound?  Tim is going to be gone for a few days on a state training thing so I'm gonna be home alone and I'm hunting for something to do I would love nothing more than to have a big get together lol as long as someone can give me directions
IF that's too soon that's ok too but just an idea. Subway or something like that sounds good to me.
Sarka, if you'll e-mail me your name, phone number, AIM name .. etc etc, I'll add you to the roster we made last night and send you a copy.

CyberLAN cafe is way cool--but kinda cramped. I've been dying to visit them since I knew we were moving to Chattoine, and it was one of my first romps around town. Several people there were very interested in our group, so it may be a good idea to put up posters/flyers if we ever get that far, but still way too small to really have a meeting there.
I love the downtown area, so any where is good with me.

Question: Are we going to meet at any certain location in MediaPlay? There are going to be a lot of crazy SW fans/people there, and I don't know what you guys look like. We may even have a couple of others come (maybe), so should we meet at a certain spot at 8? I'll be wearing my "I do my own stunts" t-shirt, but we probably need a spot to meet. How about over to the far right when you walk in--in the corner there is a place you can sit and listen to CDs--wanna meet there?

Hey guys,
I only just realized I haven't posted since Thursday's meeting. I really enjoyed meeting and talking to everybody. I couldn't post for almost a day after I got home because the storm knocked our power out. Yes, meeting during a hurricane - our intrepid band of rebels did quite well for a first outing.
Okay, so we're meeting Monday at 8 p.m. at Media Play, right? Let me know if that's not the plan. I look forward to seeing everyone again and meeting some of you for the first time. MTFBWY!

I'll be there at 8:00. We can try to meet at the place you mentioned, SarkaVrae. I think everyone from the last meeting will be there, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who we are. I'll wear a SW shirt as well (like probably most people who'll come tonight). Also, I'll be the one sleeping in the sci-fi section (see below). I would dress up, but my costume (right now) is OK for Halloween, but would be laughed outta town if I tried to pass it off as a real SW costume. I'll have it ready for Halloween, though and for any meeting we have around then. I have a belt in process and need to get some pouches and food capsules going... but that's getting off topic.
If I read the paper right, I think all the "activities" start at 9:00. What else do they have planned besides the card game? I didn't plan on it, but if they do plan on really having stuff to do up 'til midnight, I might be tempted to stick around. Who needs sleep anyway?

Where you listen to CDs sounds like a good meeting place.
I created a signup sheet for recruits. Also did pieces of paper to hand out with our city's website address, which no one likely will remember unless it's written down.
Once we become official and have a name I think it would help to come up with our own website just like Atlanta and Nashville have. That way we can direct people to a more memorable web address, and I'm assuming an email address for the city rep to give to recruits. Anyway, that's just longer term thinking.

Yeah, I agree that our own website would be a good thing to have. Sure, we can post here, but like you said, it would be good to be able to direct people to a unique site that would have a more personal feel to it. Something more "Chattanoogan". Besides, we have to come up with a cool logo to go with our name. Plus we'd have pictures and an ton of other stuff we just can't really do off these boards.
BTW, it was good seeing you all again (and some for the first time) last night! I left at around 11:00 and there seemed to be a few people on the sign up sheet, so that might be a good sign. From what I gathered, there probably would be several people coming in from 11 until midnight, so who knows? One of the guys that was working there signed up as well. DrthMrl and I talked with him for awhile and he's also a huge fan that may stop by. He gave me several sets of SW stickers that I'll bring to the next meeting to give out.
Well... the next one is the BIG one. Have we settled on the Chattooine Mountain Brigade as our name or is it still open? If anyone has any suggestions, now's the time. I'm ok with whatever as I don't have anything to throw out there. I tried to see if there was any real theme that the other FanForce's are using, but it's really wide open.

To echo Vesper, it was good seeing everyone again or for the first time. Vesper, Obi and I talked to DrthMrl, out of the Atlanta FanForce. He might stop by one of our meetings, and suggested our two chapters do something together in the future.
I like Chattoine Mountain Brigade for a name since it ties Star Wars to our fair city. For a logo, we could have our name on a silhouette of a mountain.

Good to meet you at last!
Chattooine Mtn Brigade is cool with me. My hubby said we should be the Chattooine Jawas, but then I gave him a lecture in how we are trying to incorporate something to do with Chattanooga, and he agreed that was a good idea.
Just in case you guys don't remember--www.freewebs.com is the place I mentioned that you can setup free websites (so our direct website would be www.freewebs.com/chattooine) until we decide if we want to pay dues that can pay for a domain name, etc.

Yeah, your freewebs idea is a good one.
A lecture? 
I hope you weren't too hard on him.

I have Paint Shop Pro that I'd love to learn how to use proficently (someday). I think it would be a great idea for all of us to maybe try our hand at a logo of some kind. Even if it's drawn. I think if we can get a good design, I could maybe "computerize" it in Paint Shop Pro (or someone else who's better at it could). I'd love it if we had several designs to look at and maybe vote on.
As far as websites go, I have one up at Geocities (also free).
www.geocities.com/jhickey2112/Audio2.html
I used their online website editor, though. I made a basic site from scratch for a friend once using FrontPage. It's ok, but not great.
www.dlpp.com
(If you need any leashes, I can get you a much better deal).
What I'm trying to say is that if there's anyone better at this, feel free to volunteer.

I think something around Halloween would be pretty cool, but unfortunately, I can't do anything on Saturdays in the fall because of work. (I got a very special dispensation to go to Dragon Con.)
Layren, how is the book you picked up the other night? Have you had a chance to read it? I also wanted to get your thoughts on what the best SW books are. I really liked the first Zahn trilogy, but I haven't read much of the rest.
