I suppose I could ask Justin if he wants in. Since he has multiple costumes, including stormtrooper armor, I may ask to borrow his "X-wing orange" pilot costume...I think I may be able to fit in it.

I have my Wife of Vader costume but, it's nothing movie related, just something I put together....
I never got any feedback on the Walk for Life in May.... is there any interest?

I probably wouldn't be able to do the Walk for Life in May, my mother has multiple sclerosis and I always support the MS Society by walking/volunteering for their events, which are April 12 and 13th for the Mass walks in 2008.
Not for everyone, but if there are people who appreciate craft beer/micro brews, I volunteer for Beeradvocate.com's festivals, which are three or four times each year, held at the Cyclorama on Tremont Street in Boston. Good time, great beer, and a mellow, laid back environment, no drunk college students, just people who enjoy good beer. If anyone's interested let me know. Tickets are kinda pricey, $40 or so, but if you volunteer you eat and drink for free. Might be a fun event if there's anyone in the group that's interested.
Might be too geeky, but people from work go someplace for paintball when it's warmer. I've yet to give it a try, but I might this year. I think it's somewhere off Route 24.
I definitely wouldn't be dressing up for the parade...the only three characters I could go as would be the Rancor Keeper, Jabba or Porkins and that doesn't interest me very much. No one likes a fat guy dressed up as a storm tropper, they usually just point and laugh
There's plenty of things we could do, we're so close to so many things, but it's funny how hard it is to come up with ideas.

We have some great ideas here folks! Here's what I've got:
January – Possible NorthEast Satellite meet (see separate thread)
February – Beeradvocate.com Festival
March –
April – Indiana Jones movie marathon (for May release of Indy 4)
May – Kentucky Derby or Walk for Life
June – Hot Dog Safari
July – My birthday is the 23rd… I’ll give you a lists of presents later.
August –
September – Marlborough parade
October –
November – SW Marathon
December – Holiday party redux
May seems to be a contested month! We've got Indy 4 coming out that month as well, but I put the "marathon" in April so that it wouldn't conflict. Honestly, I would prefer to have you folks over for the Derby, but nothing says we couldn't do both.
I put the SW marathon in November. It's just cold enough that we don't necessarily want to do an outdoor event but not a lot of chance of snow. Since it's far enough out we don't need to get specifics, just ideas.
How's things look?

DarthIshyZ, you may want to strike the SW marathon in November...November is always the Super MegaFest meet.

That is a good list there Drew. Damn it looks like we could do monthly meets again. lol
From what I have been seeing the Jan holiday party thing may be a bust if people are interested in helping removing wall paper and painting my new house could be used for a meet say the middle of Jan. lol j/k

Yeah, the January meet is kaput. We only got 3 'yes' votes and no interest from the NH and CT boards. Plus the Pats will be playing that Saturday night, so I'd be out anyway.

For the meets that are out of someone's house (and even those that are - Kentucky Derby, etc) can we add dates to that list... that way no-one can say, I didn't know when it was going to be?
I haven't decided on a Superbowl Party just yet. I may let someone else do it this year. I'll keep you posted on that!
Happy New Year everyone. This list looks like a great start to 2008 ... I really hope we can keep the momentum going!
PS - Roseanna - anytime you need a ride from the train station, just let me know. It was no trouble at all!

February – Beeradvocate.com Festival
March –
April – Indiana Jones movie marathon (for May release of Indy 4)

If people were interested we could do the Indy marathon just before the new movie is released. Would be cool if a theatre played them all in one day like they did for LOTR, but if not, at someone's house. If we do that we should make sure the two marathon's are staggered far enough apart so it's feasible for people to attend both, I think Indy comes out in May of '08? I could be off.
Frank, would you be willing to host the Indy Marathon? For meets that are time intensive, we should proabably start making plans early. Dates, times, etc. For six hours of movies, we should probably get together around the 3:00 range and ask people to bring pot-luck. Also a new thread should be started to plan.

I just had a thought about November. Election day! This would be a Democrat-friendly event. You'd just have to meet Christa to know that. What would you folks think of getting together to watch election returns? Perhaps not an "official" meet, but we'll probably be watching anyway.

I am always down to watch a playoff game. A few yrs ago Chris, DW, and I watched a couple together. Depending on how things are going with the house I may be up for watching the games some where. Hell I may need a break from moving. lol
