Hello Cleveland! Welcome to Yoda's World Tour!! We're very eager to have you onboard. Some quick news: 1) The planning thread on the Santa Cruz board is Here, for quick reference. 2) We are putting a cap on joining the tour. The last day to join is next Friday, July 8th. (You guys barely squeaked in. If any of the other Fanforces in your area wish to join, let them know quick!) 3) Each fanforce will have 2 weeks with Yoda. The 2 weeks will start the day Yoda arrives. We ask that in those 2 weeks you take photos of him in "touristy, famous, or just plain cool" locations, and that he is shipped to the next Fanforce before the 2 weeks are up. We will be sending a logbook around with Yoda. The layout of the book has not been completely decided, yet once we know, you'll know. 4) And lastly, I am going to need a contact person. Someone in the group who will take full responsibility of Yoda and ensure that he is properly shipped off (and will also send the shipping number to either myself or Master--Kenobi, so we can keep track of him. IF I DO NOT HAVE A CONTACT PERSON BY THE TIME THE TOUR BEGINS, I AM SORRY TO SAY WE SHALL HAVE TO REMOVE YOU FROM THE TOUR. What I need from the contact person: Name, home adress, email, and phone number. No, I'm not going to sell it online. Only two people will have a list of contacts: myself and Master--Kenobi. We need your adresses for shipping, email address to say "Hey, he's on his way, hey he's stuck in a blizzard, etc..", and the phone number will be a "just in case." Please have your appointed contact person PM me with this information. Thank you all and we're very eager to begin the tour!!

Yoda is in England!! I am leaving for New Zealand tomorrow, so please direct ALL questions to Master--Kenobi until I get back. Also, on the issue of The logbook: A binder is being sent around with Yoda to help record his journeys. Each group will be allowed ONE PAGE to fill up/decorate to your hearts' desires. We ask that only one picture be put on it, as the rest can be uploaded to the website (which is going through SERIOUS technical difficulties at the moment and may not be up as soon as we'd like). A sample page can be seen HERE. You will have a place to put a picture, a small tag to indicate the date and other information, a small pocket to hold things, and a space at the bottom to describe his adventure. We ask that each group PLEASE only uses one page, as we only have enough for one page per group. Also, please do not include any plants or food on the page, since we don't want customs confiscating the book and breathing down our neck about it. Thanks again!
Honestly...have you seen half the pictures so far! I want to be that Yoda! In just two trips he has met like half the C3 guests AND gone to DisneyWorld!!!!!
I certainly haven't forgotten. And I hope this Yoda is doing better than mine, who has apparently fallen into my bottom drawer. I can see him looking at me mournfully, nested in pants and hoodies. Not quite sure how he got there, but that's all right.
nice...I've been reading in the thread about him...last time I checked I think he got lost somewhere in England?.....
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!
Good to hear about...I lost him when he got "lost" in England a while ago! Still can't wait to get him!
Well, after 3 tries to send the little guy to France (and failing each time), we have decided to skip France and move on to Germany. The tour is WAY behind schedule, so we hope it will pick up pace and continue on. Thank you for your patience! Also, the website is now up in English, Spanish, and German with French on the way!
