Ark The get to know you thread.... Back from the dead...

Just realised I never replied to this.

'Kay, I am prior Air Force, and now I am a full-time student. I have a 3-year old daughter and am due to pop out a son within a month or so. Been married 5 1/2 years. I love Star Wars, especially the novels. I am a collector when I have the money, which isn't often these days. And I'm the PR person for the group.

 

Hello, Anni! Welcome!

 

bumping up so newbies can get to know and introduce themselves.

 

We have some newbies...just bumping so they can post and get to know us better!

 

Hi everyone
My name is :John Wieger
Age is:24
From :Morriliton
Well Ive been collecting Star Wars since abt. 95' got a big collection so far .I am developmentaly disabled with what is known as Aspergers Syndrome which means I am high-functioning autistic some of you might know me from being out at the chilis event that we had back on Sept 24th as the TIE pilot without hoses well now im fully complete after a couple new paint jobs to it and all and I plan to see you guys at any event I can get to

 

Welcome Kamikaze...

We remember you from Chilli's and hope to see you at future events.

 

For those of you who may have missed it...

Check the toy thread for otisdodge's other get to know you

(Perhaps we need a Collector "AA" type thread where we can all speak openly of our obsessions
amongst others obsessed with the same things.)

 

We've picked up a few new people so... I'm unlicking this thread as well...

That way the newbies can find out about us and hopefully leave a bit of information about themselves as well.

Enjoy...

 

Oh, for the love of snap peas! That tickled my funny bone!

 

Good day to all...

New here and checking things out.

I've lived in Arkansas all but two years of my life. Born and raised in Gurdon and now reside in Nashville (GO SCRAPPERS!).

Been collecting since I was 5 years old and have successfully passed the "Star Wars Gene" on to my son. My main focus is the vintage era but have a fascination with a lot of the modern collectibles as well.

You can learn more about me and see pics of my collection at www.niktom.com and you can get a laugh or two (maybe) at my other website www.YaksPub.com.

I look forward to getting to know some of you...

 

Welcome niktom...

How long have you resided in Nashville?

I am related to the Power family from there (of Power pharmacy in the Wal Mart parking lot)

Looking forward to getting to know you as well...

 

This is starting my 5th year here. I'm a teacher, so yea... I know Cheryl, she is the highlight of my son's week when they get to go see the counselor, Mrs. Powers. She does great work with them. Thanks to her, my 6 year old is constantly getting on to me for my unhealthy diet.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

 

Welcome aboard. And as soon as I can find Nashville I'll see what I can do about getting you introduced to a few of us.

 

Nashville is down towards Arkadelphia or Hope...

(You can take either exit) and go right.

Next time we're down that way to visit family... Maybe I can meet you...

 

Greetings Niktom. I enjoyed the pics of your collection, and especially enjoyed "Yak's Pub." I've added it to my rss feeds.

 

Hey y'all, it's Brian with DFW FanForce, stepping back in to help with MidSouth RSA duties.

Used to live in Blytheville, AR up in the Missouri bootheel back in the day at B'ville AFB (later Eaker AFB before its closing). Hope to see some of y'all in October!

 

Hi there Niktom. Welcome to the forums. I saw your collection on your site- really, really nice. And it seems like you had better luck with the poor lighting at the SSI SW exhibit in Fort Worth than we did... You have some wonderful pics in your collection there.

 

Don't forget to pop in here once in a while and say "Hi" to the newbies...

We've picked up a few.

And to those newbies...

There's a get together on November 10th. Check out the November event thread to find it.

 

Figured I'd revive this thread since it seems we've picked up a "newbie"...

So, feel free to update your opinions... and this months goal is "Find a Friend"... We've slacked off for a while...

Lets pep it back up...

Invite your friends to at least sign up for the boards... And then maybe even *gasp* meet some of us...
