Hello there all

This is an Arizona (USA) Social event I started on RebelScum and now branching out to this forum. This is short notice here but this was in the works before the Joe Y incident. Here are the original details:

Just announing the 3rd Arizona Social. So you ask yourself why would we hold such an event in 115 degree weather... well, we're not. Drum roll please......... We're heading to mountains in Flagstaff Arizona for some cool weather, eats, drinks and of course talk Star Wars. As a special bonus, DarthTad will do a personal tour of his Star Wars collection known as the "Darthenon". Without further delay here are the details:

Date:
Saturday
July 14th 2012

Time:
4:00 PM

Location:
Beaver Street Brewery
11 S. Beaver St.
Flagstaff AZ 86001

So how will I know where the official Arizona Social table is located once I arrive at Beaver Street Brewery? Just look for the following on the table and that would be us:




All Star Wars fans are invited regardless of focus. In other words, you don't have to be a vintage collector to join in on the fun. PM me if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns about the event

There will be no language filters so it will be a free for all... This will be for a more mature audience only.

I hope to see you there.


Well, there you have it folks. I hope to see you there and/or at future events.

Paul

Looking forward to the pics, mate.
Hopefully some crew from here might end up going as well.

This should be a lot of fun. Hope more folks can make it!

Just a bump up for this one since we are getting close. So if you're not going to the Comic-Con in San Diego... this event is the next best thing.

I hope to see new faces there. Everyone is Welcome

PS: DarthTad says they do have indoor plumbing up there so the toilets will work just fine


See ya there

Just a quick bump up for this event...

Looking forward to see some new faces there


Cheers!

Is anyone else going to this? Don't tell me I bought new deodorant for nothing.

I still want full frontal nude shots....of the strippers

Have fun lads. I will be with you in spirit

Yeah, wish I could be there to get a tour of the Darthenon and shoot the shit.

I'll be there ... Oh yeah, I started this thing

Just another bump for this AZ Social that will take place this Saturday.

The AZ Social will be Star Warstastic.... Yes, that's a real word meaning better than Fantastic, it's Star Wars.


Any questions just PM me.

Paul

Not long now.

Thanks mate

Yep, it's almost here.

Today is the day... see you there

It did happen and it went quite well. Thank you very much

Due to the travel time and my business training this week... my official update will be delayed.

I'll update this one sometime this week. So hang in there on this one.

Good to hear that all went well, Paul.

Looking forward to the pics, just take your time.

Good luck with your training this week.

Sorry for the delayed update on this one. It all started at Beaver Street Brewery.... Ummm, beer good



A big thanks to Ted, I mean Tad for opening up his home for this event. He has a quite humble attitude towards his collection. I can say after tour de Vader (AKA: “The Darthenon")... It's most impressive indeed.

So for those who did show up to AZ Social, each received a ROTJ Vader (Pointing Picture) MOC with a Bobba Fett sticker offer. Here is a picture of Tad with that give away:



OK, that's not true but I had you going didn't I The Vader came from my collection which I passed on to DathTad's "Darthenon". I thought it fit quite well in his collection.

Here is a picture of myself with a little Vader back ground:



I'll need to learn to take more pictures at these events. I guess after two growlers of beers it affected the picture taking

Here is DarthTad's Limelight, it looks down right now but maybe Tad is updating it (hopefully it will be up soon):

I didn't get to see Tad's latest Vader addition in person but here it is in all its glory:



It was a very fun event even tho it was just three people for this one. I know this event was a good drive for those folks who live in the valley but I encourage people to come to these events and meet the local collectors. You might be very surprised what Star Wars awesomeness can be seen at these events. If you're reading this post now and live close... please stop on by to join in on the fun. See ya there next time

El Fin:

Beer & Darthenon sounds (& looks) like fun

Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. If only I lived a bit closer by...

Thank you very much for the update.

@ Tad: You can use your pic in this thread if you like:

Yeah, checking out the Darthenon in person would be ace.
Hopefully more people ge involved next time round.

It was a good time.

The highlights for me included:

1. Growlers of kick ass beer
2. Talking Star Wars
3. The arrival of my latest purchase from Paul
4. Our discussion regarding how I should convert a Roomba vacuum to a Mouse Droid vacuum
5. Our discussion about the possibility of creating a R2 unit with a midget inside, and a glory hole.

I hope more folks will start going to these, they really are a blast! And my last big purchased arrived 2 days after this one, so the next time we tour the Darthenon, I'll have a decent update for folks.

Thanks again, Paul, for organizing this!

And Marco, I'm not sure I want to ruin that thread with my ugly mug!

I guess that was the beer talking... or was it? I think we can make these happen but we'll need to skip the glory hole part

It was great fun Tad and I'm very glad I got a chance to see your collection in person. I think next time will be in November time frame so don't miss the next one.

More to come... so stay tuned
