I thought I was a SW fan until I read that and had no idea what it meant.

Last nights meeting was a "HUGE" success, but then again, I've come to know that absolutely ANYTHING this group of geeks does is a "HUGE" success! Once again, we came to together and the sparks flew! Wow! What a group of energetic and great people! Shakers and doers all! I had a wonderful time with everyone, you guys are the best, I mean it.

Appo and I are chomping at the bit to begin our books. He'll be back home tomorrow night, and we'll begin our first read then.

Jammies, this is especially for you...... A great big hugs !!!

You are so wonderful! I can't thank you enough for the presentation on the definitions of the Star Wars Fan ways for expressing different eras, etc. It helped me and Appo immensely!

Appo and I are looking forward to our next meeting and lively discussion.... look out Louisville and the world! The LOUISVILLE GALACTIC ALLIANCE IS HERE! batting

Oops! LOL! I guess I should let everyone know who couldn't make it what we're reading! That would be the "Thrawn Trilogy", all three books, but I'm told they are a very quick read. We missed you Farad. batting Well, off to Indy!

The meeting was an awesome time ya'll. Im so glad to finally meet some of you. I started reading the first book last night and couldnt put it down. Ive decided per some of your alls advice to put the NJO series down for right now and catch up on some of the books before it so I can understand it better. Unfortunatly I wont be able to make it to the meeting tonight so have fun! and until we meet again, may the force be with you.

Awesome work! It makes me proud to see the continuing growth of this group. I have a feeling we are going to be the biggest and strongest versions that has ever existed.

Forgot to post on last post.

I do have a copy of the auidiobooks for the Thrawn Trilogy, but they are very bad copies with choppy audio. I also found the reading to be horrid. The man reading sounds very robotic and dull.

If anyone wants a copy, I can provide, but I do recommend reading the book. You'll get more from it that way.
