Hi all!
I discovered LA Jedi about 3 or 4 weeks ago, but haven't had the free time until now to look at the schedule. Do you guys still meet on Mondays, or is it just Thursdays now?

Sigh, I guess next you guys will be arguing whether your beer is less filling or tastes great.
You Silly Sith and Jedi!

It is true, I tend to follow Jedi leanings in real life. However, I find that a) I tend to favor the underdog and b) I enjoy an acting challenge. What's the ratio around here? I was under the impression that the Sith outnumbered the Jedi. Also, in what way does that matter? Is this a LARP as well as a dueling class?
Sabers I own:
- Master Replicas Mace Windu, which is way too long, way too heavy and way too expensive
- Master Replicas Lightsaber Construction Kit, which I've gimmicked a bit because the parts are all too loose to safely swing the saber, but the blade length is slightly shorter, which is awesome and much lighter overall.
- A bunch of custom saber hilts that I've constructed myself out of various bits and pieces. A friend of mine in the TV industry has commented that my hilts are TV ready, which I take to mean that they look professional quality.
By the way, I suppose I ought to post my (meagre) qualifications here: I'm a stage actor by trade, hiding behind a desk M-F, and have a smattering of weapon skills, mostly learned from the stage and Kung Fu Theatre, if anyone else is old enough to remember Saturday afternoon kung fu. I fenced for 2 years at Cal State LA and Salle Gascon, but it was just too darn far away from where I lived and it's been at least 7 years since I picked up a foil.
I'm Filipino, which means that I have a genetic predisposition towards hitting people with sticks, and as an actor, I'm an unforgivable ham. I also used to be a dancer, but that was about 80 lbs ago.
Oh, and I'm also a professional Elvis Tribute Artist. Long story.
Thank ya' - thankya'verymuch. E

I remember Kung Foo theater. I used get try and beat the crap out of my sister after-- I always ended up getting the crap kicked out of me. 80 lbs ago, I like that-- that's funny, yet strangly familar. ;D

kung fu theater... i wanna do a badly overdubbed out of sync fan film where what we are actually saying is star wars lines but the dubbed part is actual lines. i want it to be non matching star wars lines... example would be like this: actor one: "help me obi-wan kenobe you're my only hope" actor two: "strong am i with the force, but not that strong" yet have the actual dubbed dialog be the normal script. it would be like an easter egg, see who can figure out the fact that we are saying star wars lines. that and have crazy fight scenes with huge, crazy costumes and weapons

Thanks, Ram! Good meeting everyone Thursday night - I'm looking forward to next Thursday... I really had a good time. Next time I'm bringing a decent coat, lol.
So - where do I find guidelines for creating a persona, what's the ratio of Jedi to Sith and do we NEED to do this, or is it just for fun? Basically, tell me what to do!

It's all just for fun. My allias name "RamZnation" is based of my my real name "Ramirez" ("There can only be one" ...sorry, bad Highlander reference). then the second part I got it from the word "d**nation".
I started off as Jedi sicne I only had that costume, but as I got a black tunic I picked up darkside. Basically, it's up to your own liking. We have 60+ members and not all are Jedi or Sith, there are also some that are Bounty hunters, mercenaries. ...So whatever you think is cool enough to base a character then by all means go ahead.

so we all agree... he's a sith. j/k watch out for jen, she appointed me to the darkside. i was all happy being a rogue jedi that used a saberstaff and a stormtrooper lightsaber, but i get all sith-a-fied by her. so i say that it is really nice that jen let you have a choice... just kidding jen!!!!! =o)
