'member when you tried to make a Star Destroyer out of legos...
Then you realized as you made progress the thing was going to weigh like 40lbs because you made it solid?
I THINK so?
Yeah, you were. I remember meeting you at C2.
It wasn't just the "As You Wish" board then?Yeah, you were. I remember meeting you at C2.
It wasn't a board...it was an E-mail list (Listbot). We all signed up at The Ultimate Boba Fett Costume (TUBFC) website owned by Jonathan Skaines, and were then inundated with 'daily digests' and single E-mails, discussing everything from the color of Fett's jumpsuit to the hiring of Jake Lloyd. I left around that time...
Oohhhhh yeah! I remember now! Yup, I was there!
I remember someone on TUBFC doing a run of bantha skull shirts. They also made bantha skull banners of some sort. Whoever it was aparently never sold any of them cause I ran into someone at CII who said "hey where'd you get that shirt" and it was the guy that made them and he said he still had all the banners.
*edit*
I still have the shirt and wear it regularly. Jeremy asked about it one of the times i've met him
Oh so those are the effects of sintra's toxic fumes...I actually did think I was comming down with something..

'member the very first time you saw Star Wars at the drive in theater?
That was the second time I saw it when I was a kid and it was cooler than the first time I saw it when I saw it in the theater. LOL! Nothing like seeing a space movie against a clear night sky. And when your still a kid, your imagination just goes wild, and it really seems like it's happening right before your eyes. LOL! It's something I won't ever forget.

Perhaps everyone here knows what pretend game the Sniffer would like to partake in.
