The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

FNG Question: are there established local USCM "units" in specific regions,or is it primarily ad hoc and event-based? Looking to fall in with other local grunts if they exist here.

There is a bunch of us in the Chicago/Milwaukee area. We meet with other "prop" builders once a month in Elgin.

where is that? :wink:

So far we seem to be loosely associated, being most of us show up at Acme Design's monthly prop club in Elgin. Would be nice to have enough people interested to form a battalion like Maryland has.

Head on over to the US page and see those listed for Illinois.

Of course if you're there and not listed get signed up ;)

When I get out of the Corps I'll be operating out of the Peoria area.

Shermer. Didn't they film The Breakfast Club at their high school?

alright sweet hearts, as an attempt to get the chicago / Illinois area better organized, i propose setting up an email tree. that way we all can contact each other when cons or alien type events are going on. (like the screening of Alien in Woodridge.) i'd love to get a proper Chicago Battalion going.

Agree with hunterkiller86. Be nice to get the local interested parties better coordinated.

Well, I'm an acquired taste. Those who hate me do so with a passion. Those who love me, love me hard. :delta:

I've been long from the forums, but I returned to Peoria after EAS about 2.5-3 years ago and I'm currently attending ISU and living in Bloo-No. Joined up on the FB page as well.
