First Star Wars figure-- I think I was 3. Can't remember which one it was.

SW Movie in the theater-- ROTJ in either 1984-85. I would have been 3-4.

First professional sports game-- the Cleaveland Indians in 1993.

First beer-- I'm thinking 1995 when I was fourteen. Had the good fortune of drinking Rolling Rock.

Love of my life-- love is for suckers.  :P

First SW figure: 3 years old, and it was Luke Skywalker.

SW Movie in the theater: ANH, July 1977, age 1.  (I am not making this up)

First professional sports game:  The Houston Astros vs. the Cincinnati Reds in 1986, with Nolan Ryan pitching.

First beer:  16, and I hated it.  I still hate beer.  Blech.

As for the last one, I don't believe in love.  Seriously.

...When you got your first Star Wars figure? 
I was 1 or 2 and my parents would fly to Houston (from Toronto) every 2 weeks, my mom's friend gave me Darth Vader and Emperor's Royal Guard erasers so that I would have something to play with on the flights.  The first "action figure" that I got was also from my mom's friend (her son was 6 or 7 when Star Wars came out and was really into it) and it was his broken 8D8 figure (it was awesome  ;D).

...When you first remember seeing a Star Wars movie in a theatre? 
In a theater it would have to be the SE rerelease, whenever that was (1998?).

...Went to your first professional sports game? 
My dad took me to a Blue Jays game at Exhibition Stadium (I think) before the Skydome was built, so I guess that was around '87 or so.

...When you drank your first beer? 
My first full can of beer was when I was 18 after I graduated from High School.  I went pretty hardcore for the next two years (freshman/sophomore years of college - obviously), but I don't really drink anymore.

...Found the love of your life (if you have yet)?
I was 20 and I met her at college, been going strong for 3+ years now  ;D

...When you got your first Star Wars figure? 

 :) I was 9 years old, and it was vintage.

...When you first remember seeing a Star Wars movie in a theatre? 

 ;D  Same year, I was 9. (Good times!) THEE Original, 1977!


...Went to your first concert? 

 8)  I was 15, it was Ozzy. (I didn't do sports events, did the concerts instead)


...When you drank your first beer? 

 :P 15, but I preferred Wild Turkey.  With concerts came many bad influences!


...Found the love of your life (if you have yet)?

 :-* If "the love of my life" has to be a person,  I was 21. We met while  I was teaching martial arts.
The REAL love of my life IS martial arts,  that love affair started in 1984, and is still with me today. ;D
