Thaaaaat's right. The Ventura County Star will be doing a feature on the VCFF. They'll be at our meeting on Sunday so... come prepared!

I dunno, I got a mail and call from Teresa Rochester who's a staff writer for the Star and she wants to do an article on us. Here's her mail...

"My name is Teresa Rochester and I am a reporter with the Ventura CountyStar. I was very intrigued by your Web site, which was forwarded to me by a colleague and I was wondering if I might be able to cover VC Fan Force's get together this Sunday, the 9th. I think it would make a great article for our Monday edition."

So yeah, I talked to her today on the phone so it's all finalized.

... we might actually have to talk about Star Wars at this meeting! Uhhht oh!

Well, sheesh, what does she think this is? :~D A SW club or something?

Does she know about the piece Kim did a few years ago?

And...is there anything we should bring to the meeting, extra?

This is terrifying. Every time I've been in the paper it's been like a third of a sentence I said that makes me sound completely retarded. I already know this is going to be a disaster. Hopefully it'll be a funny one.

I forgot about that other peice that was done years ago, that wasn't really about the VCFF though, it was more of a general local Star Wars fan thing that happened to feature some of us.

Garrett, just think before you say anything, you'll be fine.

Well, I liked that it wasn't condescending, and that she knew the difference between SW and Star Trek...

It was a bit short, and I would have liked more even IDing for our group.

She seemed very nice!

I liked it, wish I'd been there, but it was a bit brief and light. But she did make it sound like a nice group, instead of a bunch of wierdos, which so much of the media tries to do.
