	I asked JediRacer to repost this thread so that it is stickied like it originally was. This way it is not lost for when new members come looking. So if you posted a response once please copy it into here. I will be PMing everyone that posted in the other thread asking them to do the same. Thanks Name: Natalie Age: 19 Location: Spokane SW Related Interests: I love the movies and the books. I'm just getting started on a fanfic since my Jabba story was nicely accepted. I'm also interested in trying my hand at costuming. Non-SW Related Interests: {So we know what other activites you might like) I'm a college student working on a math-edu major and history minor. I love reading (SciFi and Fantasy are quickly becoming my favorites). I love to sing and am learning to play guitar. I love to write (both stories and poetry). And I'm sure there are other things, but that is enough for now. How did you get started on SW: ("Hello, My Name is Jennifer, & I've been a SW addict since I was 7. . ." - It's fun to share this one). Well my dad started me on Star Wars back when I was little, I can't remember my exact age, but it wasn't until high school that my interest in Star Wars grew. So compared to many fans I am fairly new to the scene, but hooked none the less . -----signature----- JO Grand General, XO, P2 \| I Skye Lightrider!

	reposting... Name: Tom Age: 29 Location: Ellensburg SW Related Interests: Mostly I'm just a big fan of the films. I'm not so much into costuming or any other activities like that. I do collect the toys avidly, but since I have kids we actually take all the toys out of their packages and play with them, which would probably make most collectors wince. But yeah, mostly I just like discussing the films and hanging out with fellow fans, and as Obi-Wan would say, "That's ... why I'm here". Non-SW Related Interests: I'm in a local hip hop group called Log Hog. We play quite a bit around the area and on the west side. We've been to Spokane only twice, but we hope to get over there more often. I'll be sure to let you guys know when we do. Here's a picture, taken here on the c.w.u campus! (that's me on the far left) ...and you can check out MP3s here if you're so inclined. So that's my main "hobby" but let's see, what else? I'm married (to Kerr_Plunk who will hopefully soon be posting here as well), and a father of six. I graduated from CWU with a BA in philosophy in 2000, and I'm still here working at the library. I'm a casual sports fan, I enjoy music of all varieties, huge film buff, Tolkien nut, fan of old school Nintendo games and their modern equivalents, in particular The Legend of Zelda, and no doubt many other things but I've probably bored you enough... How did you get started on SW: I've been a Star Wars fan literally for as long as I can remember. In fact one of my very earliest memories is of going to see ANH in '77 in the theater. I don't actually remember much about the film from that first viewing, mostly I just remember the huge impression that Darth Vader made on me. But I do remember the theater was packed, and we had to sit in the very front row, and all the way to the right side of the theater. Still, after that day I was hooked, and when I look back on my chiildhood, for that matter my entire life, it seems that Star Wars was always a prominent part of it. I also just wanted to add that it looks like we may be getting closer to getting a little group going over here in Ellensburg. At least we're trying to get a first meeting organized, so if that happens and things go well we should definitely try to plan some sort of joint event. -----signature----- i be up in the gym just working on my fitness

	Name: Nick Age: 26 Location: Spokane SW Related Interests: SWG (Star Wars Galaxies, Scylla server), gaming anything Star Wars, collectables, etc. Non-SW Related Interests: Roleplaying, (D&D, Vampire LARP, Costuming, Etc. How did you get started on SW: Born in 1977... one of the best years ;-) and saw ROTJ in theaters. From there it went to seeing all of the films at home, and mostly playing with friends either with the old figures or "acting". I still have all of my old SW toys in pretty darn good condition. Then as I got to Jr High and High School it became more of a mild obsession. From using the soundtrack in any plays I was doing to staying up late with friends laughing over silly lines in the movies. More recently SW is one of the fews things I can get excited about and that can motivate me. From trying to get all the cardboard stand-ups, to one day having a house with one room dedicated to SW. So with the fanfilm, I intend to finish my Broadcasting Degree at Gonzaga (as the only thing left to do is a final project), and of course have lots of fun and do what I haven't done for 9 years... make awesome props and use my creative skills that have gone to waste for too long. -----signature----- Nick Plantz CGI President SpoCon Programming Chair Spokantina Member, Browncoat "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty." -Captain Reynolds

	Finally got around to posting this... Name: Erich Age: 20 Location: Post Falls SW Related Interests: film making, story writing, making fun of SW, watching the movies (even the prequels and SE) Non-SW Related Interests: writing, tennis, video games, Lego building, tinkering with computers, cooking, How did you get started on SW: ("Hello, My Name is Jennifer, & I've been a SW addict since I was 7. . ." - It's fun to share this one). Probably got started when I watched Return of the Jedi; it was my favorite for a while until I watched A New Hope, which is my current favorite. My dad started getting me Star Wars toys around 8th grade and my friends and I would make up all sorts of stories and stupid little movies. Gaming, especially Jedi Knight, was a big thing for me and I still crank up Dark Forces from time to time. Plus Yoda Stories, one of the coolest SW games ever! -----signature----- Jesus loves you all! "The first time we were rehearsing these fights we started making the sound effects of the lightsabers.

	Name: JediClone/Chris (And to the guy who recognized my handle at InCon- I'm not the Clone you're looking for . Somebody else had already gotten the name when I signed up for this BBS. But I'm keeping it anyway.) Age: 27 Location: Spokane. In my seat. Facing front. SW Related Interests: Gaming, props, the EU esp. the Clone Wars cartoon... Oh and the movies... And I'm really interested in getting in on a fan-film. Non-SW Related Interests: My favorite SF series is a three-way tie between DS9, B5, and Farscape). Teaching myself Adobe Illustrator. The Bruce Timm and drawing style. Prop making (I have a few SW items, am working on others, and over the summer I helped out on a horror movie made by North By Northwest). I have pretty much all of the "technical" and Essential books, and I want to get more into blueprint and model design. How did you get started on SW: When I was a baby, my babysitter snuck us off-base to see ANH. When I was 6, the first time I saw ROTJ was in a mall with a big panel display in the walkway that was my first exposure to "behind the scenes" stuff. I've also got most of the original series of 4.25" toys. -----signature----- "Even in the FUTURE nothing works!"

	Name: Eledaia, Kelli in RL Age: 26 but feeling 82 today Location: Will be located in Spokane by Aug 16 (living near Walla Walla til then) SW Related Interests: I was a big costuming fan until I got burned out by making costumes for others. I think I need make some for myself to remember what was so fun about it. I have a hugely cool costuming project I want to do for C3 Non-SW Related Interests: {So we know what other activities you might like) I'm a graphic designer/webmaster by trade, general artist by hobby, sci-fi/fantasy FanGirl extraordinaire, I'm mostly a hermit and trying to break the habit. I suppose I have to be social sometime in my life... How did you get started on SW: My first Star Wars memory is still very vivid in my mind. I would have been 5 years old in 1983, and my parents brought me along to the theater for ROTJ. I don't remember anything else from the film except Jabba the Hutt. Whether it was the horror at seeing this hulking blob of talking putrescence or simply the fact that I couldn't read what Jabba was saying, those scenes in ROTJ were etched in my little mind. My first taste of Star Wars goodness :P I actually remember turning to my mom and asking her what the heck Jabba was saying. Her response was to sit down and watch the movie. "But I don't know what they are saying!!!" After that, I think I viewed bits and pieces of the trilogy on TV and what not, but it was not until Junior High that I had mastered the technological wonder know as the VCR and was at last able to record Star Wars. My Star Wars obsession has been coming on gradually since then. You would think that the advent of the second trilogy would have deepened my love of the SW Universe, but I admit I still only love the first trilogy on all counts. The newer episodes are nice to see why and how things came about, but I'm really only interested in the costumes from them. For me the originals are the i ching, and the new ones are just great movies to put in my DVD rotation. I'm hoping to head over your way for a meeting sometime. I read about a few scattered people in Spokane, and would gladly join a group there if there was one. Maybe I'll have to start one... I would like to meet some fellow Star Wars fans and join a group so I won't have to hang out with myself at C3 -----signature----- Bane of Jarus Sarn's Existence "So your sister is a nerd too, eh?" - So saith the toothless drunk to Oo_la_la

	I am in Spokane now, and I am SW fan. Have almost all the books, but not dedicated in collectables. I had heard that spokane had a con, and am interested in going. have friends interested too, but they don't have the ability/inclination to look or ask for help. So, Help Me! I am also interested in Computers/gaming. Even tried EverCrack, but stopped after 6 months. Not dedicated enough.

	Game Day? Dang, I missed it. Where/when do you meet and what do you play. If I have to ask. My spouse doesn't support gaming (table top) but I might be able to get an occasional kitchen pass to visit. Robert.

	Well, game day was a special day just to break from the usual fanfilm work. We meet regularly on Sundays around 1 PM at the Gonzaga campus. It isn't all work and no play, we are just really focused on getting our fanfilm done for Celebration III. You can get more information at http://fanforce.reelreplicas.com/ At the game day (which I think we'll do again soon), some guys were playing Galaxies and I played Battlefront(sp?). I don't know that any of us do the table top stuff. You'll have to teach us! -----signature----- Bane of Jarus Sarn's Existence "So your sister is a nerd too, eh?" - So saith the toothless drunk to Oo_la_la
