Preparing for Winter…Soldier Re-CAP!

We speculated on the Walking Dead finale.

We enjoyed pizza, popcorn and homemade sliders.

We watched trailers for Amazing Spider-Man 2, Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy and Godzilla.

We watched the Agent Carter and Trevor Slattery Marvel One-Shots

And oh yeah, we watched Captain America: The First Avenger

If was great, thanks again to our hosts April and Josh!

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.
