Since this thread has been around far longer than the SWGFA, I'm going to shut it down and hope you'll all join us over in the new introduction thread.

Hi everyone. I'm Theresa and I'm a student at UCF and I was really disappointed there wasn't a Star Wars club there, so I'm really glad I found you guys. I've been planning on starting a UCF Star Wars club myself so hopefully that will happen within the next few months. Any other UCF students here? Let's plan a lightsaber fight or something!! My main interests are the novels, the movies (original trilogy only, please), costuming (I'm planning on making a female Han Solo, a Vestara Khan and an Eldon Ax costume), and useable vintage memorabilia. I'm about to buy a lightsaber now, is Hasbro any good? Well hope to see you all soon, when is the next gathering?

Hello Theresa, welcome! I'm interested in hearing what you like about EU novels and how that compares to what you might like less about the Prequels. That's no challenge; my curiousity is just piqued. Had to look...

Welcome to the boards, Theresa!

We are done with our large events for 2010, but several smaller gatherings/outings are in the works, so hopefully you can join us for those.

.we could have a meeting in orlando soon. I think it is good that you are planning ahead this way for your costumes. I think there are people around that can recommend a better saber than the hasbro type. I wouldnt mind building one someday as well.

Welcome, Christy! Glad you all had fun. It's always nice to get into a group of SW fans. I look forward to seeing you around these parts. Speaking of places, what town are you two? I'll add it under your screenname on the left.

Re: Greetings and Salutations [introduction thread]

So, here I am! I'm more of a forum junky than Brian is, so you'll probably hear more from me, even though he's the (slightly!) bigger Star Wars nut.

Welcome Christy! Thank you so much for bringing your family out to join us on Saturday night! It's great to hear that you guys enjoyed yourself. Looking forward to seeing you on the boards and at future events. Did you put your name and email down on our sign-up sheet to be included in mailings of upcoming events? If not, I'm happy to add you or you can always check here for the most up to date information.

Nice! I look forward to hearing Justin's reaction. I wonder if Brenda and Calvin intended for the smooth sides to be on the inside? Either way, the mirror doubles the depth. Neat! When I first saw it I thought, "Oh cool, we had Watto and some droids at our booth. I must have missed that." Turns out I just miss our booth. Glad it's gone to a good home and fellow fans, though.

Sweet Brenda is here! Oh you guys have grown considerably since CV too! Sweet.

Oh and Brenda is like the go to person in our group. Her & Calvin are the ones that work with Beth on our Megacon booth.

Right now the Hoth Tunnel from the droid room is at my house but the part you guys gave us is at Brenda's.

But it appears to have arrived there with out a problem.

I'm not thinking it's Safari. I use Safari all the time and don't get connectivity issues related to the browser. I think the drops/hang-ups/hiccups are related to the web board software itself through Yuku. When I've come across issues connecting, I jump on my pc and have the same issues there as well.

All right class, let's go around the room and everybody introduce themselves... Heh, that's your choice, but here's a thread for you to at last reveal yourselves to the Orlando System. You're welcome to start your own thread, but this is a nice way to keep most of the introductions in one place. Veterans and newbies alike, have at it... I'll start.

I'm Campbell aka Sabacc. I'm a Star Wars fiend and a bit obsessive about collecting. I'm also extremely interested in film, music, pop culture and the related trivia. Like most people I'm a scuba diving, vegetarian boomerang-thrower. I live alone in the Millenia area of Orlando among hundreds and hundreds of action figures.
