The house in Beech Grove appears to have fallen through, so we are looking for rentals. He might get desperate and take our deal, but IDK.

Great news! It looks like we are going to get the house in Beechgrove after all! Dan was able to yank some emergency money out of his 401K. Sandy and Dan and my mom and I are going up there at 1 PM (today already?) to talk to the realtor and show my mom the place. If you guys can make it down to Coffee County, when we get all settled in, we will HAVE to have you over. It is small home...a cabin really, a fenced in double lot, and a camper on the back lot that is hooked up to the electric and water. And yeah, it is cold now, but there is a lake less than a mile away. We can barbecue, watch SW movies, play trivial pursuit, whatever. And we can discuss our plans to take over the world, err, Nashville FF. LOL!

Anyway, what do you think...should I dress as Abby from NCIS this year. I am leery of the temp black hair dye, but I think I can be a great Abby. I promise pictures will be taken.

I want to buff up before I try Mara again.

? you guys! Miss the meetings. I love them. Only 2 so far but you all are great people.

That's cool Jaden. I like the JADE idea. Just let me know what it changes to so I can call if I ever get over my phoneaphobia. tongue I'm really not a phone person or I would've called by now. blush

You and me both. I am getting better though. I think that first call is the worst.

Did you see NCIS tonight? Last week was GREAT! Ziva is a Probie now. I so think Gibbs should adopt her. He whispered to her at the end of last week's episode "You're mine now." It was so endearing. She cried. Her father, Eli David is a crooked man. Such a shame. Gibbs is pretty much the only father figure she has now, and since Gibbs lost Shannon ad Kelly (his wife and daughter) all those years ago, I think they can heal one another of those wounds. This week Gibbs and Tony called Ziva "Probie" the whole time. LOL!

Oh, and for Halloween, folks, I am taking the plunge. I am dying my hair black (temporary dye) and going as Abby. My friend is having a party and we will have candy and karaoke. Then 2 days later, we close on the new house. grin

I think we just have phone issues. tongue Small compared to the other things we deal with. Phoneaphobia is like vacation. tongue

I saw parts of it. I was so tired though I had a hard time staying awake. Gibbs and Ziva seem to have the same type of relationship as Gibbs and Abby does. You know, father-daughter type deal. Ziva even said Gibbs was like a father to her on the weeks before last week's I think it was. I don't get why Tony still called Mckey(sp?) Probie though? He's no longer the newest member and also has been on the team for six years. It was funny though.

I think you'll make a great Abby!

Hey guys and gals. Very cool seeing Nashville in on the Star Wars fandom. I am from Bellevue and Bellemeade area, but moved away in 96. Was nothing going on then. Glad to see it up and running now. I come to town to visit every few months. Would love to introduce ya'll to a friend of mine that would probably love to know about ya'll. She drives all the way to Jackson MS to get her Star Wars fix. She is like "I wish Nashville had something like ya'lls club". She isn't on these boards. I need to get her on here.

We are a new little group, trying to get things going. There are 6 of us who meet when we can but RL stuff has made it hard to meet for a few months. We are planning to meet again soon, but I am moving to a new home and am hoping that after that we can have another meeting. I have made great friends, everyone is awesome. I hope to see our group grow!

Get your friend on here!!!! happy

Oh Michael, you and your Dark side. LOL!!! Actually, I believe our little Fun Force is divided between Light and Dark. But we have fun talking. I am hoping to be able to open our new home up to a meeting soon. It is in Beechgrove in Coffee county, but maybe we can have a late movie night on a week end and use the camper on the second lot (which has electricity and water) as a place for people to sleep, since it is about 30 minutes from Murfreesboro and even further from Nashville. We can barbecue, play SW Trivial Pursuit (we have both versions), watch movies play games on the Xbox, go to the lake, etc. We will have to drag Tristan away from school and hire a sitter for JocastaNu. LOL! And Sandy might be living there by that time. LOL! She has a home with us when she needs it. Her grandma is sick right now. sad

Yeah, we are trying to grow the FF from the ground up. I would really love to do a new Icon and a new banner and colors for this page to show that things are new. Maybe make an offsite, which is really easy to host. Elect people to run aspects of it. We have smart people in our FF. I do not want to see it die again. When I came in, it was dead. I was so excited about see SW fans here, I said, HEY, let's meet somewhere! LOL!!!!

So please, word of mouth is great. We normally meet in the Cool Springs area, an exit or two north of Franklin off I-65. Barnes & Noble was great last time!!!! I would love a more private place soon where we can have a movie night with games, like a SW party. we are building trust and we get along great.

Anyway, have to run. MTFBWY!!!!!!!!!

Cool, she lives in Franklin. So thats an easy drive for her.

Sounds like your small group was like our small group. Started with 5 going to CIII to now 20+ at meetings and 40+ at troops or get togethers. I hope to see yall grow like we did.

Perhaps we should schedule something on a weekend in the next few weeks before the holiday season starts up. This would give her a chance to meet us before it moves to someone's home.

We could use my home eventually as well. The only drawback is that it is in Fairview, which is not really centrally located. Tristan may not be able to come. Jaden and Dan, I estimate a 2 hour drive from your house to mine --figure the same distance as the Bellevue Carmike was where we saw Fan Boys. If there were Dickson or Hickman Co. folks in the group, my place would be more central. My collection room isn't really set up yet, but that wouldn't stop us from meeting. When Jaden's home is ready for the group to come over, we would probably have more options there.

If possible, I think it would be good to attempt some meeting or activity at least once a quarter. Jaden: Is there a date (weekend or evening) when you and your husband might be going into Nashville/Franklin for other errands? If so, perhaps we could time a meeting before or after so that you can combine trips and still meet.

One thing we might want to do is start a topic here that is purely an idea board for meeting activities...not necessarily the meeting times. We can list what events and activities we want to do...and add to it as we go. Then we will know what everyone wants to do.
For example:
I might put "Board games, movie nights, video games, collecting, conventions"
Tristan might put "RPGs, video games, collecting, concerts, parades"
Jaden might put "Costuming, video games, collecting, RPGs, conventions"
...
...
When planning video games and collection-related events, we should try to plan with everyone possible. For other things, like RPGs in this example, Tristan and Jaden would know not to worry about my schedule for RPG events/meetings. Doesn't mean we will always meet with that mini-group or that we are never allowed to join in... but will give us a good idea what kinds of stuff to plan.
