Tonight, I sold Scott an extra Kubrick Jawa he didn't need in order to get a OTC Scanning trooper and some cash out of him!

Thanks again for helping me out with the OTC Scanning dude!   

Jeff

I think hopefully we'll have another nice Hooters group shot to throw in here sometime next week!  That is, if Jim isn't afraid to let the world see his mug...  Scott, Jeff, and I have already publicly humiliated ourselves in here though, so nothin' new coming on our ends.  But hopefully we'll nab another hot waitress for the shot!   

Well, you've all waited and waited and your reward is here!

While some of the gang is still out on the town trying to get J-MAC to puke, I'm home to document the first half the evening...

The Twin Cities JediDefender.com Star Wars Collector Club got together tonight to honor SoCal hero JediMAC as he was nice enough to drop by for a visit.



From Left to Right we've got:
Hooters Girl, chuckles, JediMAC, Nataku (me), Wuss-Boy (aka SpaceMantis), Scott (aka OCB), and infinitifett.

We got together, had some drinks, ate some food, and discussed many SW topics such as how much JD.com kicks ass and such.

Of course, as is often the case, things turned ugly when J-MAC got some drinks in him.  During the discussion of the Wolves superiority over the Lakers, J-MAC snapped and attacked poor Scott with his SoCal Lakers French Fry...



Other than the french fry incident, everyone had a good time and I look forward to tipping a few with JediMAC (and the rest of our crew) again at C3.

ps.
Quote of the night?  When JediMAC asked the waitress if she was "loose or carded?"

Here's the stuff that is still on my "needs" list that I will probably find in 2004:
* 2005 Cantina Wave (due Nov. from EE)
* OTC-38 Imperial Trooper (x2)
* TRU Jedi Scene 3 and 4

Well, I just nabbed the TRU Jedi Scenes 3 & 4 off Amazon.com (threw in a vOTC figure to get to $49 and qualify for free shipping) and I'll be getting some help tonight and picking up the Imperial Scanning Troopers I need (thanks Scott and Matt!  ), so I guess I'm done shopping until next year.  I just need to sit back and wait for EE to ship me my Cantina wave figures and I'm set. 

It'll be real nice if I can avoid the toy stores during the Holiday shopping season.  Those Pre-Christmas TRUs are packed with vile "no manners, me first" type of shoppers.  Ick. Somehow, TRU has 50 times the traffic during the Holidays as they do the rest of the year, but still manage to open only 3 check-out stands... 

Of course, watch, now something else from 2005 will slip into the Holiday shopping season and wreck my whole plan...   

Jeff

Westbrook Scored?

Yes.

   What the?  Let's hope for another!

Jeff

BALCO!

I'm not really a fan, but I guess I have to respect his talent.

7 MVP titles?  That's pretty good no matter what... unless of course those last 4 turn out to be roid tainted.   

Eh, but since nothing's been proven, and you're innocent until proven guilty, well then... congrats to Barry!

One wonders what public opinion of him would be like if he'd actually talk to fans/media... too bad about his bad rep.

Jeff

Another great deal with Dale!
