A Celebration of Star Wars: Episode XI: The Conference Strikes Back happened at DePaul University downtown. With keynote speakers Claudia Gray and Carmelo Esterrich, there were a ton of fun topics centered around Star Wars. Chicago Force attended and then ran around the corner to Graham Crackers comics for Free Comic Book Day. Then a delicious dinner afterwards, a great day was had by all.
Time to answer some questions. Who knew that Lady Proxima was a Grindalid?
On Feb 22nd, we went down to the Francis W. Parker School to hear Billy Dee Williams talk about his new book! The moderator was great and a fantastic night was had!
It’s cold this time year, so no better time to head to the zoo? Well, it’s the weekend for un-decorating the tree we decorated last November. So we headed to the zoo, saw some animals and tried to enjoy the snow.

We had a great time going out to the Drive-In! We got there early and there were about 25 to 30 cars ahead of us. The sun was out, there was a band playing. Our grillmaster brought brats from home. It got dark, and cold! Then the movie. We didn’t stay for Spider-Man, but still had a great time.
