Hey there folks. I'm from the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, in the city of Allentown. Just posting to see if there are any fellow ghostheads near my area.

Anyway, stay frosty and rock on.

[njukgb]

Is it just me or does dr_logan represent what Jack Nicholson would look like as a Ghostbuster

[dr_logan]

lol, well that is actually my head photoshopped there. i've never seen too many people actually say I resembled Jack, but... I have had many say I sound like him.

Ironically the name and picture is based on a fan fiction character of mine who's first name IS Jack.

[Mitora]

Aw, I missed you. I used to live in Allentown too. =[

[OAOSwartz]

I know its a bit of a stretch but you are welcomed to join into the Steel City Ghostbusters since we seem to be the closest to you at the moment. feel free to PM me or bradboss for information on what we're up to and what can be done to get together with us or maybe a few of us to make a trip to you.

[dr_logan]

Aw, I missed you. I used to live in Allentown too. =[

That's cool... where ya living now? Is it nice?

[Mitora]

Over in NYC, but I'm moving down to GA for college in the fall. I like it up here a lot.

[Charnel]

About 15-20 minutes away from you stephen.

[dr_logan]

Tamaqua, eh? I think i've been there once or twice

[stephens540]

yeah, tis a lil shitspalt town nothing useful really.......nice mountains i guess hahahha

[dr_logan]

Yeah I live in Allentown... it can be a sh*thole but i call it home... plus I live withing walking range of Dorney park so it's not all bad

[mburkit]

Emmaus, PA in the house! I think I'm officially the closest person to Dr. Logan (on the map that is).

[dr_logan]

Yeah Emmaus is not far from me at all. I hang out with a friend of mine from work who lives in Emmaus... nice city... Definitely nicer than allentown, Allentown is trashy especially at night.

[bradboss12]

Hey, Doc Logan--you coming to the Steel City Con? We will be there, so pop by for a picture or just to say "hi".

[dr_logan]

I would totally do that, I just don't have any transportation, and money is tight right now. I'm working on getting a new job and such, and hopefully if I get it, i will be making better money and i can get myself driving, so maybe int he future I can attend one of these shindigs.

[bradboss12]

I hear you. We have members of our group (including myself) who have transportation problems. Not like Pittsburgh/PA is a depressed area or anything. It's making the production of the fan film a challenge, too. Good luck!

Yo peoples... I just was just wondering if there were any Ghostheads in the Allentown, or general Lehigh Valley Area, that were interested in collaborating on starting a franchise or something of that nature... I'm not entirely sure what all is involved in creating a franchise, whether you need to do it through official fan chanels or if you can just do it yourself or what, but It would be interesting to pull off... if anyone is interested you can always hit me up, and we can communicate the possibilities...

The link is for one of my designs for the emblem, in case anyone is curious.

[mburkit]

I'd be interested in a franchise. But I'd like to know a few things before starting/joining one:

1.) It would have to be more then just 2 people in said franchise.
2.) We'd have to decide WHAT we are going to do with the franchise (charity work like the Arizona GB's, just go out during Halloween, etc.).
3.) What is needed for a franchise as viewed by the GB community (I'm pretty sure the GB community is pretty easy going when it comes to the formation of franchises).

So, I'd be interested if more people are interested and we have some sort of "Mission Statement", so I know what I'm joining.

Good idea though.

[dr_logan]

Yeah i'm not entirely sure what is required, but i would like to find out, and test the waters.

[mburkit]

And we could get a Khaki version of that emblem made for the suits and put it above the right breast pocket. I think I've seen other people do that (the khaki patch that is).

*Edit:
Like this guy did:



Maybe not the flag on the left arm, but a khaki emblem would be cool.

[dr_logan]

yeah the flag is a bit much... Though what about replacing the flag with the patch?

I think it might look better on the sleeve, as it may be cluttered on the chest witht he name tag and all. but that is my opinion.

[mburkit]

Yeah, it was just an idea. I'm going to post in the Ghostbusters movie forum and see what people say is the general consensus for a Franchise. That's the place that I think would be the most appropriate place to ask the general community about it.

[dr_logan]

sounds like a plan... I'm asking a few friends who are involved in a franchise about criteria as well.

From what I've learned, the minimum is three people. and all it takes beyond that is to set up a logo, website and email, etc... And of course uniform and props what not... I was told it was alot easier to produce in groups, than individually.

Sounds simple.

[dr_logan]

Even though there is no official franchise yet, until there are actually people involved... I too the liberty of setting up the forum site for the LVGB.

You can see it here:
http://z13.invisionfree.com/lvgb/index.php?act=idx

It's still a work in progress but it's comming along.

[mburkit]

Oh snap. Bookmarked!

[dr_logan]

There is still alot to add to it of course... many things that can be added to it... But Most of it should be done with group participation, and such so once we can get at least three peeps total on board, there can be some collaboration and brainstorms on future ideas... Also this takes into consideration that any members we get have jobs, and financial/schedule concerns, so it can be organized and constructed at a reasonable pace, without pushing ahead too fast.

[mburkit]

Yeah, we need more then 2 people, haha. I have 2 friends that LOVE Ghostbusters, but I guess not as much as me because they don't (or can't) build packs for themselves. They do marvel at mine though. That and I don't know how much they'd be into any kind of roleplaying as Ghostbusters. They do have a health love of the movies though.

So, the search continues!

[dr_logan]

yeah, i hear that... but the bright side is... we only need a minimum of three from what I hear, so if you are onboard that just leaves the search for one more recruit. lol.
