The September meeting will be at our regular V.I. on Saturday September 19th at 1pm. That's right, one hour earlier as we march towards TFA with a late lunch and Star Wars related discussion to follow. Newcomers: meal usually takes about an hour or so with meeting to follow, but you'll want to take in the whole thing.
Just found out this morning my brother is coming to town. He refused to step inside a VI, so we'll probably do some other stuff. If he decides to go to his friend's house and smoke pot, I might come on over (it's my only day off).
I can't make it, I posted info about Hauntings and that's all I have at this time. I will have my phone by me if you need to call or text for further info. Have fun.
Good to see everybody! And welcome to new member Renah who joined the boards way back when, but can hopefully get logged back in and enjoy the fun here on the Fan Forces side of the boards.
