To do that all I would have to do is getting everyone who wants to be in the picture on to base on a Saturday. But that would be for the T38s only. If we do that, I can always have a BBQ at my place that day too so everyone can hang out and maybe watch some movies. Maybe a Star Wars or two if as long as everyone likes those movies.

I think we'll make do with the Star Wars movies.

This all sounds really cool. T38s are so sexy. (At least that's what the males I know say.)

I know I can hadle some Return of the Jedi action. Well consider all that done. Really if anyone wants to have anything like that before the whole Yoda picture thing I don't mind either.

Sounds good to me all though I'd need permission first.

Sweet! I think credit for this goes to Jaggy!

Also... are there any specific dates set up?

Wow good job Fanforce Southwest! I believe if I recall correctly Yoda is on the other side of the globe right now, so it will be a while before the great Jedi Master graces us with his presence.

I think we were told that it wouldn't be until next year when we get Yoda.

Okay so make that close to 2 years!

Hopefully before high school graduation. If not I'm hoping I won't have to start college until after the summer.

Well I guess that means I most likely will not be around for that. I doubt I will be stationed down here for two more years, but you never know.

Holy carp, that's a long time from now. The address it's signed up for is my parents' house, so it's good I didn't give my address for the school year.

so it looks like we'll have a long time until we have to decide what to do with Yoda. This satisfies the procrastinating side of me...

Danke Bob!

So, in the past 6 months, Yoda has:

* Been lost in London for 3 months.
* Partied like a Brit in Midlands, England
* Enjoyed the countryside of Wales
* Had over 10 new fanforces added to his tour (mostly in Europe)
* Spent the holidays in a French Post Office
* Got "Returned to Sender" back to Wales

So that takes us up to now. We're preparing to send Yoda to France for the 2nd time. Hopefully, he'll stay there this time.

The website is almost finished. However, our webmisstress' computer crashed, so it will take a little bit before we can finish it. There are several text mistakes on the website (for instance, she listed Canada as being part of the USA ), but other than that, it is nearly there! I will let you know when it is finished.

Thank you for your patience!

I just read this whole message thread. What a cool idea. Hopefully it won't take a long time for Yoda to find his way down here. We will just have to wait our turn to have him visit us.

It's going to be awesome getting him after he's been to all those places. So I guess all those delays in Europe mean we'll be getting him later than expected. Either way it's a long time from now.

Lost, found, lost, found... I sense a pattern.

Yoda was lost ONCE MORE in the French postal system. We have finally recovered, and after trying to send him to France three times (and failing), we have decided to skip France and continue on to Germany. Hopefully that will get this tour rolling again.

Also, the website is now up in English, Spanish, AND German.

I'm glad to hear it. It wouldn't do to lose him in France.

Hopefully one day he will begin his state-side tour.
