New to Indiana

Hey all-

As of this week I've been here for a year, operating remotely from Sunrider Base... and I thought I should probably report for duty with Mos Espa!

I live in South Bend (River Park neighborhood) with my family of rebels, including my wife EmperorSusie, my 12 year old son #PokeJay, and my 9 year old cosplaying daughter #LittlestJedi

Have been a RL member since 2002 as a PT Jedi and I was one of the co-founders of Sunrider Base, as well as co-founder of San Diego FanForce and the San Diego Star Wars Society, and a plank owner of the Imperial Sands Garrison as well. Have been 501st since 2004, and active in many high profile public events for LFL. Also heavily involved with San Diego Comic-Con as a senior staff committee member.

We jumped into representing the RL here in Michiana back in December for the TFA premiere - our entire family was on the news as "the jedi family" when we all costumed out for the premiere in South Bend and I believe I met some of the Mos Espa members when I attended Indiana Comic-Con earlier this year. Honestly until that point I didn't know there were any RL members in the area - the Google revealed nothing, and I don't frequent these boards.

Have been plugged in with the Northern Darkness Garrison of the 501st and hosted some events and trooped others with them over the past year.

Have *finally* connected with some other RL members in my area and looking forward to trooping together! Thought I'd make introductions here on the official area board. Anyone else close by?

Welcome! I'm moving to South Bend from Denver, CO on 1/15. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

I don't have any rebel costumes anymore, but I have an IC. I've been with the RL also since 2002 and 501st since 2005, and was heavily involved in Fan Force, and founded the Rocky Mountain Fan Force in 2000, which is still going strong. I'm also building a Mando at this time.

I'm on the ND forums now, and just posted in the Taakure Clan forums.

Looking forward to trooping with you all!!!

Just saw I'm once again archived on the boards... yep, I know I don't post enough.

After spending two years trooping in Indiana, I'm back in Southern California now.
