Ideas for Social Events

I thought of some new ideas:

Magic of Myth exhibit in NYC....great for a family event!

 

I never saw this exhibit -- count me as
interested.

Other ideas include a dinner party, wine party, OT screening and going to the PA Ren Faire.

Feel free to add your suggestions to this thread! We want a good mix of events for singles, families and everyone together!

You know I'm always up for a good FanFilm screening. There are a couple hours worth of AMAZING films around that extext the Star Wars story. (Not to mention put the TV specials to shame.)

Have fun.

 

If you all are interested in the PA Ren Faire, let me know. I can get discount tickets (price will depend on number of people interested From $20- $15 per person).

 

Ok, now in the works:

Lightsaber Building Workshop with your host, PadawanNick. Tentatively scheduled for sometime in August or September. Nick is currently on working up some dates AND he's got a pool so stay tuned!

FanFilm Screening with FanFilms collected and put onto DVD by Nick. Tentatively scheduled for sometime in September or October.

Also, anyone interested in going to PA Ren Faire anytime between August and it's closing in October, let me know. I go in costume sometimes and it's a ton of fun. Fun for the little ones aged 5 and over too!

My backyard is always open for a weekend BBQ. I grill a mean burger, or veggie burger, or chicken, or salmon steak, or ... well you get the idea.

Any interest? Any date in particular?

Cheers,

Dave

 

Any chance we can take a vote for when we want the lightsabre workshop to be? I was hoping for September...but I guess it really is up to Nick.

Also, the BBQ idea sounds fun as well as the Ren Faire.

 

Nick, why don't you email me some dates for the lightsaber building and I'll set up a poll so we can vote. Natasha is away the whole month of August so I understand her wanting it in September.

 

Anyone interested in the Ren faire, please let me know by the 13th I can get discount tickets, less than 10 people will be $20 per ticket ($2 less than at the gate) 10-14 people $18 15 a ticket or more $15 a ticket. I have access to a limited number (around 20 tickets) so if interested let me know.. LOL we should get the 501st to come and we should all go in costume Star Wars costumes

 

Ok Ok the Star Wars costume thing was a joke.. Sort of.. I have a LOT of friends that either work at the Faire or have season passes. I keep joking with them that I'm gonna show up there in my Jedi costume. But seriously if you have one or can put one together, come in period costume, it's a lot of fun. Em and I will be there in costume as well.

 

Dave,
BBQ sounds great! Why don't you let me know a date, what you're cooking and we'll bring the sides...How about a Sunday afternoon in August?

Once you give me a date I'll get the word out!

Anyone up for a Christmas party/social in December? Let me know and I'll start planning it..

 

Anyone for the PA Ren Fair on any of the following Saturdays?

July 27, August 3 or August 10?

Oh, and anyone wanna go in costume?

 

Ren faire doesn't open til Aug 17 I believe.

 

Faire opens August 17th this year and runs to Oct 20th. My wife and I will be there in costume just pick a date, we'll be there opening weekend, and several during season.

 

**Update on Ren Faire tickets**

I can lock in the price at $15 per ticket (from 1 to 20 tickets at this price)-(they are $21.95 at the gate)I have access to 20 tickets at this price. but I need to know how many I need by this Saturday the 13th.

 

I'll take two!

 

I'll take 1 adult & 1 child tics. Thanx alot!!

 

For what date though?

 

The Tickets I have are good for the whole season soo, just pick a date we can all go.

 

the date is listed under the scheduled events thread...

i chose september 7 for the group. hope that is ok with everyone...it's the weekend after labor day.

Sounds good to me.

 

I'll be at a Highland Games that weekend. Oh well. I'll be going to the Faire at some point anyway, even if its not with the group.

 

I am working on organizing a Sci-Fi Costume party. I have friends from the area who are going to be there, but don't necessarily like SW...but i could use some ideas, and maybe some help with resources...I'm posting this here because i thought this would be a great social event...I would charge 3 dollars for entry though...one for the renting of the hall (wherever it happens to be) one dollar for donation to childrens charity, and if it is at a church (some churches have HUGE gymnasium or auditorium facilities) then a dollar for the church. I want it to be a non-alcohol affair (is this a good idea) but i want there also to be things from more than just starwars...like a klingon joust or a time machine or laser tag. let me know what you all think. I'd like to shoot for sometime around halloween...
