    Avesome advice Jammies. Im gonna use that as my itenerary from now on, lol. Thanks for breaking it down for me. I have read 6 books into the NJO series so I definitly know what you are talking about as to why I should read the Chewbacca comic. Im waiting on Dark Empire to arrive via USPS and my new journey will begin.

    Zannah and Appo - I hope everything turns out alright with everything and I will be praying for you all. Until we meet again, May the Force be with you.

    How cool would it be if my school would let me teach a class on the EU?

    Man, I would love to write that sylibus.

    (fan fic gives you extra credit)

    At the college I attended, as well as a few others I've heard about, they have a one-month term during January where you take one class from a wide variety of options that have little or nothing to do with your actual major. I ended up doing mostly scientific things anyway, but there were choices like (seriously) learning how to work on cars. Those were nearly impossible to get into of course.

    Anyway, if they have anything like that at (edit) maybe you could pull it off. And heck, almost all schools have regular-semester classes on the history of rock and roll. I don't see how Star Wars history is any less legit.

    Edit: what am I saying anyway? SadMax teaches something SW-based at Bellarmine. I don't know the exact title or basis but still.

    Most schools do that, and if I get overly energetic I might do it. I do not think we get any extra pay.

    Jammies

    However, the FREE class will start Monday at 7:00.

    I read the Cliff Notes (I mean comics) so I'm hoping for a passing grade at least. See you Monday!

    More than likely I will probably be running a little late. It is just not the will of the Force for me to get out of work at a decent time:_|. I apologize in advance for my tardiness.

    I have never actually gone to a book club meeting before in a book store, and I have a really stupid question. Here it goes:

    Do we need to do anything special to let the bookstore know we are bringing our own books in?

    Yes, never had a problem. Plus they have those security tags in books now that have to be de-magnetized (or whatever) at the checkouts anyway. If you're still worried just bring them in a backback or such.

    Just a note:

    Class will still be in session, even if the professor is stuck on the bridge.

    See you soon!

    Who all were there? Did they have our table ready? And Appo and I will be there next month.
    I'm going out tomorrow and purchase Death Troopers. This should be an interesting read.

    We have to get our lives and routines back in line.... the sooner, the better. For those of you who don't know what happened, PM me and I'll explain. Its not appropriate within the forum to be sure.

    Anyway, we are missing you all, we just wouldn't be ourselves right now. Keep those faces smiling, I can see you in my minds eye, and it gives me comfort. Truly. We'll see you all in person before long.... [face_batting]

    And... to the professor, [:D] Thank You!

    It was me, Cungr, Jedimika, Jammies, 11-11 and Bulbous Freak. It all went well. The "official meeting" lasted until 8 or so and then me, Bulbous, 11-11 and Jammies ended up talking outside until almost 10. PS. Who is the author of Deathtroopers? I know I could look it up but I'm here anyway.

    Is it Joe Shreiber? I'm not sure if that is the right author, or if I spelled his name right.

    Hi there Jammies my loyal apprentice, we must do another poll for our read in December. I know we're just starting on Death Troopers, but Barnes and Noble need to know a couple of months in advance so they can publish our news in their fliers. [face_batting]

    Actually our December book (the book we will be discussing) should be Deathtroopers. B&N had it as our October book. Yes, we're picking it up and reading it in October but it will be our "talk about" book for December. We should probably decide what our February and April books will be though.
