DarthTaiter79 checking in...

Post by DarthTaiter79 »

Hello!

I registered here last month I believe, but checking in now with the welcome thread, I don't think I introduced myself! LOL
I'm pretty much all over the net at some Star Wars forums, including the Bloodfin and IndyKnight boards, Mandalorian Mercs and The Dented Helmet, and a few others. I usually go by Darth Taiter, but I also sometimes use FettFan as an ID.

I live in central Illinois (Pana), so this looks like the actual garrison for my area ;) I do have a Jedi costume, though it can always be improved, and I'm currently working on a custom Mandalorian costume. In the future, I thought getting an Imperial officer costume together would be pretty cool, once I get better at working with fabrics, as I'm definitely no seamstress.

Boba Fett, Jango Fett, Mandalorians, Clone Troopers, Republic Commandos--all my favorite characters, but I've been a Boba Fett fan for well over a decade now. My first Boba Fett poster now watches over my computer desk.

I'm an apsiring artist, and hope to finish my associate's in art this year to continue in graphic design or traditional art as a bachelor's degree.
As for any other hobbies: I'm in TaeKwonDo along with my daughter (at camo belt now), I like working out (and need to!), biking, hiking, walking, and surfing the 'net. I also scrapbook on occasion, and play video games on my Xbox 360, though I'm not a heavy gamer.

I hope to check in once in a while, and wanted to say HI to every one! I see a Peoria air show event listed, and I love air shows--miss Air Rendezvous since they cancelled that in Springfield. If I get up there, I'll look for you guys!

Welcome Taiter,

Nice to have you among the ranks. You will find we are a busy garrison and have tons of events and what not to attend.

There are two armor parties planned in the near future. One in Racine WI this weekend, and one in Carpentersville IL on the 31st. Feel free to attend one or both of them. Lots of troppers to help in our garrison.

I would also love to invite you to attend the Bartlett IL 4th of July parade on July 5th. This is our 7th year doing this parade. We always have a cookout after and their is a fair right next to where we cook. Its a fun time and a MWG tradition.

Welcome abord and cant wait to troop along side you!

Taiter,

Welcome! :D :D :D

Always good to have another 501st member in the area. We just did Toys for Tots with WCIA in Champaign. I've been talking with the Champaign-Urbana Symphony and I hope to get an event worked out with them soon. In a few months we'll be doing Free Comic Book Day in Champaign. Last year was our busiest year for central Illinois events and we just keep growing.

PM me your email address and I'll add you to my email list for local 501st events.

:welcome: to the MWG, DarthTaiter79!

An aspiring artist, huh? LMK if you have an online portfolio! Mine can be viewed HERE. I'm always interested in seeing some new work, and hire out illustrators on occasion.
