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.
On May 19th, Chicago Force met to discuss Scourge at Village Crossing and then watched The Avengers.
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”.
Discuss a book and ice skating. Two great things that taste great together?
