Hou, TX April Meeting

Hey,

I think we slacked off in March. Time for another meeting!

How's Saturday, April 25th for everyone?

Do we want to meet at Stag's Head? Or does someone want to volunteer their house for a Star Wars viewing? I'd volunteer if I had a decent TV.

(And Chris, I realize I still owe you SW Revisited. Life has been crazy for me lately.)

 

25th looks good for me.

BTW I had a friend over who wanted to watch Holiday Special. He made it through the wookie part before he asked to turn it off.

 

The wookiee part is deliciously awful.

 

Mmmm. Interesting. I'll keep that in mind.

When I have house guests I can't get to leave, I'll throw on the Holiday Special to shoo them away. Of course, if they haven't left by the wookie part, probably nothing will get them to leave.

 

The Relay for life is that Friday and Saturday. If it is in the afternoon/ night I am good. Stag's head was nice. Good food and nice place to meet.

 

I could use a post Relay beer. I am in.

 

I could do the 25th.

I was thinking about going to San Antonio for a parade on the 25th for the Rebel Legion group there but I figured after the Relay on the 24th I might be too tired to make that long drive there and back.

 

So, 6:30 PM at Stags Head (stagsheadpub.com)! I'm looking forward to it!

It looks like we have a "yes" from 5 people for this Saturday night:
-erikstormtrooper
-DarthElizur
-TK8171
-StormMoose
-Danpa_Wamem

Can everyone still make it? Anyone else planning to come?

 

Yeah still planning on coming. See you guys on Saturday!

 

Stagshead sounds great Erik. See you guys there.

 

I AM STILL A GO.

 

See y'all there. First one to show up, grab a big table!

 

roger that, I will be there.

 

Great meeting guys. Erik, all I can say is .......AWESOME DUDE!!! And, I am bad with names, but I believe it was James who Ian and I were discussing the prequels with. I enjoyed the talk. That is the first sensible conversation I have ever had about the prequels. I like your opinions, they make a lot of since. Anyways, I think a Armor party is due.

 

It was great seeing everyone! I'm looking forward to next meeting... perhaps we can make it out to George Observatory if there is a clear night and have James show us around the universe!

It would also be fun to have a group outing for Star Trek... I'll post another thread!

 

Yeah, last night was one of the best meetings we've had in a while.

Glad you liked the disc, Chris. Did you watch the deleted scenes? There are easter eggs too!

 

Great time and good company. Eric, The 501st is knocking at your door. Whos next?

 

Hook us up James!!! And a Star Trek viewing would be coool.

Erik I did watch the deleted scenes. Bye bye Jar Jar! I wish that scene was left in I liked it. I am a little rusty on Easter Eggs though. Any tips on how to view those? Great meeting guys, and the 501st is growing. I am with David, who's next?

 

I had a great time hanging out with everyone as well.

 

Try this ...


Original Trilogy Box set (4 disc set):

On Disc 4 (special features disc), go to Video games. Highlight main menu and press 1-1. A little box next to R2 will light up, DON'T PRESS OK!! Once the box is highlighted, press 8. Sit back and enjoy some bloopers from the first 3 films.

Episode 1:
On Disc 1: Go to the "options" menu. You then highlight the THX. On your remote press 11+03+08. Then you'll see some bloopers from the movie.

Episode 2:
On Disc 1: Select the options menu. Highlight the 'THX' logo and put in 11 then 3 then 8 on your keypad. You have to press enter in between each number. You will get a series of bloopers from different scenes in the movie.

Go to the options menu and press 1-1, 3, and 8. You will then see the DVD credits with scenes from the series in the background.

 

Thanks Danny, I will try this and see what they look like. Have you guys watched the revisited copy yet. It is good.

 

No problem.

I don't have the revisited copy, I think John has a copy though so I might have to borrow his copy.

 

Hey Danny, I thought you had a copy. I'll make you one. If anyone still doesn't have the DVD of Revisited, let me know. I can't keep track of who I gave it too.

Chris, for the Revisited Easter Eggs, there are two:
1) On the Special Features menu, to the right of "Deleted and Extended Scenes", highlight the trooper's helmet.
2) On the Trailers menu, next to "Trailer 1", hit the LEFT button to highlight the wall panel on the RIGHT of the screen.

 

Thanks Erik ...

I have the Holiday Special DVD you gave me ...

 

Good news. Third Planet has agreed to let us make some flyers and they will pass them out to anyone wanting to talk Star Wars. Ben wants to make it next month. Whos good at flyers.? Submit your ides and we can pick the best and watch our numbers grow.
