Oh, and there is a Collectors Club, but I think
they are currently too broke to meet

 

i've been gone a while so i think a re-introduction is in order.

I'm Kristi. i was here for a while but when i moved to Indiana i got out of things for a while. i got in pretty good with the big dogs here for a bit. but i'm back now. feel free to dropme a line.

 

Benjamin here. New to Chicago and to FanForce. Just met some nice folks from the book club down at Fudruckers, the local cantina... My apologies for not remembering their login names here...

Been a fan for a long while; the episode I hype and comraderie really congealed my love for George's original trilogy.

 

I'm Natalie and I must say it was nice meeting everyone that was at the book club today. I look forward to the next book club.

 

Welcome! We were such a big group at Fuddrucker's that it was hard to speak with everyone. There will be more gatherings to get to know each other. Those who couldn't come to Fuddruckers missed some delicious brownies for Joshua's birthday...

 

I am Cathy. Wow Lemminglord I am also new to the area...crazy coincidence. I enjoyed meeting the bookclub at Fuddruckers on Saturday. I am a fan of the OT, I have yet to read any of the novels. You book people are going to have to convince me they are worth reading.

Natalie it was awesome to get to meet you in person. I can't wait to meet again.

 

Giving a bump

 

I'm Matt, a friend-of-a-friend of Mark who told me about Chicago Force. I'm a really big OT Star Wars fan and will be lurking around these boards from time to time.

I can talk Star Wars with the best of them. I have read about 90% of the books.
I hang out with CF when I am able to. Some of you might know me from Neo, the red line, the 147 bus...

 

For me, this is actually more like a reintroduction. I used to post regularly on this board back in '03 (at the height of the Peaches/Sithman Wars), and even attended a couple official functions. I fell off the CF wagon for a while, with only a handful of posts over the next year or so. But after a recent move to South Dakota (bright center...farthest from...etc.), I started jonesing for all things Star Wars again, and decided to check out the ol' gang.

As geographic distance appears to be no obstacle for the likes of DarthAstuart and Bosh_Talk, I decided to reenter the fray.

So greetings to former friends and acquaintances, and hello to the new faces.

 

TAUNTAUN_WE


welcome back to the boards,

ref distance problem.....well, for me....only with other galaxies at this time

ref Bosh Talk and Darth Astuart........they left?


ref South Dakota....very cool place,

In the early 70-s, I made several trips out there to help map and explore
Wind Cave South Dakota.....Last time I was there
(the mid 80-s),

The offical cave map that was posted had a crawlway named after me,

..........there is also a pit with my name in a way,
am unsure how it looks on the original map-logs,
but I remember it as PEEK-IN PIT, with Pekin being my last name.


anyway,

Bosh probly knows,

everyone who ever use to be in the area

and

where they are now

 

Hey all, Ive been around for a while just trolling the boards, so I though Id finally introduce myself. Im an avid SW fan, I live in downtown Chicago. In my spare time I build luxoen powered lightsabers, and I also do some costuming. I attended C3 and C4 and had a blast. Ive never really gotten involved in any local events, though I did attend Wizard world con last year. I like to read and I am currently enjoying the Legacy of the Force series. Thats about it for me, so Hi everyone.

 

Let's see some saber pix.

 

The Holiday Party is the best place to do personal introductions!!

 

Darth Caedus,

Welcome to our little group.

Since you are into the Legacy of the Force series (I like your sig), I highly recommend coming to a book club discussion. We are doing the new Death Star book before the holiday party, but we pick up the Legacy series at our January meeting (4th Saturday of the month) with the 4th book. We will stick with Legacy until its conclusion, discussing the ninth and final book at the end of June.

Check out the Errant Venture thread for more into.

 

I have a little update. I did finally find a job. I am an Assistant Manager for Oberweis Dairy at their Bloomingdale location. Anyone in the area is welcome to stop by and say hi even though I cannot give you free ice cream.

 

I work in Glendale Heights so I may have to get my milkshakes there, because my milkshakes bring all the boys to my yard. And damn right, they're better than yours.

 

DRATS!

as I read this I just saw Oberweis....I am 2 miles from the Arlington Heights one
and go by it at least once a week.

oh well..........

 

Hi guys and girls.

My name is Doug, I live in the Chicago area. Im a Star Wars fan, so I guess Im in the right place. I have tried to join the Chicago Force website, but had some problems. Anyway, just wanted to say hi!

I'm into the philosophy of the force and the GFFA, and have tried my hand at fan fiction and filmmaking. I'm working on at least 3 short-films right now, in various roles from acting, to production, to VFX and foley.

 

well, been about 5-months,

and it seems like an ok time to bump this thread back to the top,
in hopes of finding some more Star Wars fans in Chicago.

most recent posters on this thread seem to have come and gone.

 

.
ok, only a month this time,

but with the CF BBQ this weekend, thought we should have our intro thread
on the first page.


and to encourage any and all to join in

please note that the guy who started this thread
is from South Bend, and a lot of fun to hang out with
either on the boards or in person
.

 

Ah, yes... good ol' Mav.

So yeah, here's another bump after a month. Any new folks thinking of joining us for the Clone Wars on Thursday night? Come introduce yourself here first! (Or afterwards....)
