Buff, NY Hey guys

Hey everyone,

Its been a time again. I figured I would start with an explanation to my most recent and other disappearances. Some of you may know I suffer depression. When I get low, I withdrawal into myself and stop interacting with others, which is what has been happening to me since October. The difference with this time is I told Chris what was going on and why I wouldn't be around. I'm trying to stop the MIA AWOL crap I pull on you guys, and I am sorry for all of it.

Anyways, I am not here looking for sympathy or trying to make excuses. I just wanted to put it out there. If you guys would have me, I would like to help with swn. I don't want to costume, just help. I don't know if the star wars costumer inside of me is dead, or somewhere buried. I still have the desire to costume, just not with star wars, right now anyways. I am currently working on a costume for a convention or two. I loved pirate night last year, and had more fun as a pirate than I ever had with a star wars character, save boba fett! Nothing will beat the fett!

Hey, Kyle! We've met once or maybe twice and I really have little sense of you or your history with the North Ridge. But, I have been given much of the responsibility for the production of SWN this year. After some discussion with leadership, I can say that anyone who wishes to help with SWN would be welcome. In what capacity is mainly up to you. But, unlike in prior years, the magnitude of the role and access to the different perks associated with SWN2014 will differ depending on how active a member has been able to be in calendar year 2013.

 

NO worries Kyle. You don't have to explain yourself to us. At times all of us go through our bouts of turmoil in our lives. I can be honest that I haven't been "here" in a while.
Life has it's ups and down and we will always be here for you. You know Biz and I will always be there for you no matter what.

As far as SWN goes, the more the merrier. You are an asset to everyone even if you choose not to costume. Table staff, pictures, design handouts or cards, wrangler, or what ever.
I know personally I would love to have you there.

 

You know I'm always glad to have you around, kiddo!

 

Missed you, I hope to see you again soon...

 

Great to see you at the Maker's Fair Kyle. Nice to have you around.

 

Thank you guys. I will be around more, it was a lot of fun to man the table at the maker's fair. Hope it is something we get to do again in the future.

 

It was great to meet you at the Makers Fair and look forward to talking further.

 

Glad to have you back Kyle!!!
