Lots of people have disappeared over the past year or two. We need a new big Star Wars movie to kick start the FanForce again. And Lucas can afford to do it just for that reason, LOL.

And here are my favorite pics from the trail ride. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=98191&id=550086851&l=36a4f723c4

People move on, some have other things going in their life, others just have things they don't do anymore or such. We try to meet up when we can but people...sometimes viewed as a good thing and sometimes as a bad thing change over time. Just the way of the world.

Almost sharted myself yesterday. Got a bunch of Patrick Roy hockey cards in them mail and one of them was 1 of 1! For those who don't know, that means it is the only one made. From what I have heard, it is worth hundreds. I posted some pics on my Facebook. I am still in shock.

yeah its true, groups always do better when their have stuff to do thats regular. I'm thinking a general scifi group with bigger numbers has a better chance of having events. Anybody wanna help me promote the facebook scifi group?

As for the card will you sell it or keep it? I had a similar find twice last year, kept one and sold one. Made a mint hhehehehe.

For sure. That's the idea I had with fanforce was just to open it up to all the sci-fi geeks in Edmonton, but I do know to maintain these boards we need to have a few more official events this year or we could be disbanded by the powers that be. worried

TO keep the fanforce going you don't need "official events" for say. All you guys need to do is have meetings.The fanforce is not an event group like what the 501st and RL do, they are costume groups and are not a social fan group. Start promoting your group as Star Wars Fans and keep is casual. Thats what we have done down here and we are still growing. Talk to everybody and anybody who is interested in Star Wars or sci-fi. Give them a card and tell them to come out to a meeting. Put up posters at comic shops and collectible stores to try to promote your group. Have the poster point to your website and have the meeting info on the site telling everybody about the group and where the next meeting will be held.

We get together once a month at a community room and just talk star wars and other sci-fi or comics. But the main focus is Star Wars (be it toys, minis, comics, clone wars, costumes). Just make sure to stress it s a social group and not a costume group. Costuming scares some people away as they are not into that. Sure lots of us down here do it but we stress that we are not a costume group.

Good Luck.

Hey guys! Sorry I've been gone for quite a while, been doing other stuff. Just the usual stuff, like homework, work, games, and hanging out.

Although I have been working on my web site and blog

One game to look out for in the next year is Jumpgate Evolution; twitch-based space combat in a MMO world. Trailer.

EDIT: Hmm. An AT-AT Boom box? Hope it walks! :P

Nice work Jerry,

We do have meetings but I've noticed that Calgary seems much more open and socialble then Edmonton(and I can make that claim as I wasn't born or raised here)

But we do what we can, I'm sure the edmonton fan force will perk up again sometime. There are plenty of fans here in the capital city but few are intrested in going to meetings to discuss things oddly enough.

Wasn't a card I bought a camera for a few bucks and sold it for 280 times more than i paid. I was massivly happy about that one. I know where there are a few moner but the guy wants much more and the market has dropped so it would be really hard to replicate, but I will try.

Is anyone else having trouble with Telus and their website? I can't add any money to my phone. They have been having technical difficulties for the past 4 days. rolling_eyes
