Remembering Aaron Allston

220px-Aaron_allston_2005

Once, Chicago Force took Aaron Allston to dinner.

It was the end of March in 2009.  Aaron was on a book tour for Outcast and was appearing at the Borders in Oak Brook.  Chicago Force attended the Q&A, got our books signed, and then took him to a local sports eatery.  It’s been five years and I can’t remember all we talked about that night.  But I do remember that talking to Aaron was like talking to another fan.  A fan that loved Star Wars.  Good-bye Aaron Allston, we will miss you and your writing.

Phyllis Schulte of the Rebel Legion put up a report of the book signing from the Rebel side, which can be found here.

June book club was at a special location:

We met on June 26, 2010 at 1:00 p.m and discussed Crosscurrent by Paul S. Kemp. We had a great time at our panel discussing the book and giving a talk on “How to start and run a book club”.

February Book Club and Skating

Discuss a book and ice skating. Two great things that taste great together?
