C2E2 2014 Day One

The morning of the 25th, the first day of C2E2 was quiet.  Little did we know how much would change for us by the end of the day.

All Set!

Of course, the big galaxy-shaking news dropped that day, “The EU was dead, long live the EU!”  We received the news that the Star Wars EU would now be considered Legends, and a new EU would start in the fall.  This made the Del Rey panel that day a not-to-be missed event.  We went out in, well, Force, and listened to the panel with rapt attention.  New Star Wars author Kevin Hearne was there.  And he had a book signing at the Del Rey booth right after.  All in all, a fun eventful day.

Cyphan June Book Club

June book club was at a special location:

Cyphan at the Westin Chicago North Shore, 601 N. Milwaukee, Wheeling (Milwaukee and Lake Cook).

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”.
