Title: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: The Rebel on December 21, 2008, 02:39:00 PM
I live in Florissant, MO, which is about 30 minutes or so from St. Louis. I also go to school at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, MO. If anyone on here happens to be from those areas, please let me know. Me and my friends are all into Star Wars and general nerd stuff (anime, martial arts, video games, D&D, etc). So far, I am the only one with an FX lightsaber, but they all like them and would probably be willing to start a Jedi club if more people were interested.

Unfortunately, I don't have anywhere in mind that we could go for club meetings and practice sessions...

St Jo is about the closest I've found to me over in Lawrence, KS.  Maybe I should defect to Missouri...... ;D

We should have a small get together sometime and compare notes and sabers ;D
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: DARTH MAUL on April 11, 2009, 07:18:57 PM
That would definitely be cool! Consider me in for that :)

I'll probably be down in Sullivan at least a few times next year. We are doing a project at the hospital there to add them into our system I support.

Hey I'm from Alton, IL. 15 minutes or so from Florissant.  Wow, didn't know there were so many of us so close.

Nice, I moved over to St Charles just a couple years ago. I lived in Edwardsville, IL most of my life.

This is a pretty small but cozy lil town Darth Gius,  I'll be in IL soon for a strawberry festival
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: JediKnightBJ on April 12, 2009, 04:29:03 PM
Ahhh. No strawberries for me. I'm severely allergic. They produce a pollen I react pretty bad to.  eating them will kill me.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. Its my kryptonite.
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: pickupman63080 on April 12, 2009, 05:09:08 PM
I'm not big on them either but the festival is a good time
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: DARTH MAUL on April 12, 2009, 07:09:46 PM
Ah man how can you not love the strawberries?? Is it the one in Collinsville or elsewhere? Only thing related to strawberries I can think of from some years back.
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?

Heyas guys/gals!  I'm in the StL area (about 40min out on the IL side) and looking for a group to duel with.  Does anyone have anything going? If not, I am willing to jump in on the ground floor as well.

Hey, BJ... Have you ever been to Fast Eddie's? I just went there for my 21st birthday. It was pretty fun, and I plan on going there again sometime....

Yep. I live about 5 minutes away from Fast Eddies.

Its a fun place. Been there many a time myself though a lot more often when I still lived in Illinois. Go with my brother once in a while as he lives about 10 minutes from there.

Would be a good place to all meet up some time.
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: The Rebel on July 10, 2009, 12:26:50 PM
I would definitely be up for meeting there sometime. I'm sure I'll be there at least once more this summer, so I'll let all of you know when I'm going.

Sounds good to me. I'm game for it so just let me know.

I'm interested in meeting up with some StL area duelists.  I live about 40min from downtown on the IL side, but I work in Fenton.  So getting out and around town is not a big deal for me.  I'm very new to the whole thing and I'm looking for any advice anyone has to offer.

I went a semester at SIUE! Too bad I transfered to WIU or I'd meet up for some dueling. That would be sweet.

I'm in central IL now :(

NOBODY owns sabers around here!

Good old Edwardsville, lived there most of my life until the last few years. To bad your not closer to all of us Jai-Kinn. I'm down by Granite once in a while and over in Alton or Edwardsville to visit family.
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: pickupman63080 on November 08, 2009, 05:43:17 PM
One of these days we'll get somethin goin in the STL area...at least a meet and greet with show and tell lol
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: DARTH MAUL on November 08, 2009, 06:01:57 PM
I'm going to need some suitcases for that lol...

Definitely agree though. We should put something together for us all to meet up. I know we said that a while back, but lets do it this time lol.

I have very fond memories of edwardsville! Ever go to the Bing shop? I don't know of its still around or not. They had paintball stuff, and hundreds of knives/swords/various other cool things.
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: The Rebel on November 09, 2009, 08:19:58 AM
I would definitely be up for a Saber Fight Club meeting sometime! I think my best bet would be this summer though. I'll be extremely busy until then. We should probably meet somewhere that's relatively convenient for everyone involved. I know Gius would need a U-Haul truck for all of his sabers if we decided on a show and tell kind of thing somewhere.  :D
Title: Re: Missouri Jedi out there?
Post by: DARTH MAUL on November 09, 2009, 09:35:32 AM
Bing shop is still there I'm pretty sure, but he does almost solely paintball/airsoft these days. I haven't been in there for a few years, but most of the swords and stuff were gone.

lol yeah I might, Kyubbi. Any time of the year is about the same for me. Probably around a holiday things are a little slower so maybe that could work out while people have vacation. I would be open to suggestions. :)

I'm 15 miles away from St. Jo and I am totally up for some meet-ups. I have sold all my sabers but the love is still there and I wouldn't mind seeing how rusty I am against someone :D

Just wanted to say "Hi!" to all my fellow Missourians.  Home is outside of Columbia (Home of Mizzou Tigers!), but I'm living/working in the Middle East.  I get to come home at least once a year though, hope you guys are staying warm, with all the snow! ;)

Yeah I got to ditch the coat for the day which was nice. Not sure how long it will last though.

If guys are still looking for a place to spar you should checkout, Lightsaber fight club, in the greater St. Louis area. We are on facebook.

Not in Missouri but I live outside of Springfield IL. I make many more trips to St Louis than up north to Chicago. Would be nice to meet other saber enthusiasts.
