Meetup.com - Next Meeting: April 18, 2005

The next scheduled meeting for www.meetup.com is as follows:

Monday, April 18, 2005 at 7:00 PM

Where: Brewsters Brewing Company
834 - 11th Ave. S.W.
Calgary, AB T2R 0E7
(403) 265-2739

That would be a good time to finalize our premiere plans (if we haven't already) and choose a name for ourselves.

I'll be at this one for sure. So we want to maybe move it up a week or so and try getting a couple in before opening night.

Wow, it's nice to see a Calgary chapter of Star Wars fans. I'd like to come meet you all, or is it a private affair?

All are welcome. We are currently planning our ROTS event, so the more the merrier.

I think it will be a great meetup. The more the merrier as they say.

Old_Republic - We'd LOVE to meet you! We're always looking for new members! By all means, please join us at our meeting this Monday!

Here's a proposed agenda for this coming meeting: (Feel free to post any additions if you'd like!)

• Confirm numbers for attendance of Episode III premiere and discuss ticket purchase.


• Brainstorm and choose a name for the group.


• Show-and-tell of new action figures.(??? - Thought this might be fun!)


• Discuss attendance at 4th Street Lilac Festival (I need more information on this, so I'll explain in more detail at the meeting.)


• Schedule next meeting. (Meetup.com will not schedule another until after the premiere of Episode III!)

For those of you who wanted to attend the meeting, but couldn't, here is a rough version of "minutes"...

(*shudder* that sounds far too formal for our group!)

- Since meetup.com is going to start charging money for use of its services, we have decided to abandon it, and use our own means of scheduling and reminding eachother about meetings, etc...

- We've confirmed just over 20 people as part of our group for the premiere. We will know more about purchasing tickets on Wednesday or Thursday of this week, when Famous Players gets back to us.

- We have chosen a new name for the group! We are now officially "Toshi Station".

- EDIT: We've also chosen Ryan (PreludeRM) as our representative.

- We had lots of fun showing off our new toys and books, but it was somewhat difficult to do so without spoiling too much for ourselves.

- Those of us with Jedi Costumes look forward to attending the 4th street Lilac Festival on May 29th to help promote WesterCon.

- Details for the next meeting are as follows:

WHEN: April 25, 2005 @ 7:00pm

WHERE: Boston Pizza
403-244-5544
1116 17 Avenue SW,
Calgary, AB

For those of you who can, bring your costumes (it's your choice on whether to wear them or not). We'll have more information about ticket purchases then, as well. We'll also be planning our lineup strategy, etc...

- EDIT: We also discussed the possibility of having little cards printed up to pass out at events, like Free Comic Book day, movie premieres, etc... to help spread the word about our Chapter.
