Wiki Admin (one of a several)

Wiki Project Manager (See Wiki Wine Wednesdays for more details on updating the wiki.)

• Some clarification about my role with updating the FamiLAB wiki and what the wiki is:

My role as a "Wiki Project Manager" is not to run the wiki alone but to guide and encourage it's updating with continued contributions with other editors.

I do not control the wiki, I merely update it in collaboration with other admins and editors.

The wiki is a community resource that is a collection of useful information about FamiLAB and it's members who opt to provide their information.

I encourage anyone wishing to contribute to the wiki to contact an admin for a wiki account.

• "Theater Discussion Night"

Co-Founder of "Theater Discussion Night" which is held every second Friday at 9PM (21:00) of every month in the Classroom, unless otherwise specified.

Co-Founder Dustin and I created this night for all adult members and adult guests of FamiLAB to appreciate a wide range of movies from many genres but mainly focusing on 80's sci-fi movies.

• "Sci-Fi Night" (Coming Soon)

Sci-Fi Night will feature a combination of our favorite sci-fi fandoms including Star Wars, Star Trek and Stargate.

This combination night was created to resolve the issues in having three separate nights featuring the separate themes.

It was also done so I don't lose my mind trying to conduct the nights on their own.

There will be a separate co-host for each of the different themed nights.

• "Halloween Party 2018" (Unofficial Event at this time)

This page is just something for the planning for this event which may or may not actually happen. The page was created to start the planning and resource allocation.

Pre-planning does take an entire year because of the size of the event that's being planned. So, contact Lloyd for additional information if you're interested.

This was included here because it's something I'm working on. It will be a resource for helping others decide whether or not they're interested in being a part of it.

People are welcome to become a part of the planning. It will be a rather intensive event and assistance is welcome as long as people agree to work on things my way.

• Regarding the events I organize, "Theater Discussion Night" and the upcoming "Star Trek Night". (Star Trek Night's wiki page is under construction.)

I'm a fan of all kinds of videos, movies, and some TV shows. Although, I think some aspects of TV shows are going to total shit. I do enjoy a wide range of movies though. Additionally, I went to college for "Film and Video Production" which left me with an appreciation of many movies and the ability to easily spot movies that are total fucking shit, although that's not hard to do. Anyway, the events I'm involved in are for the enjoyment of the videos and movies for everyone who attends. It's important to share entertaining video media to me so other people can appreciate and enjoy them as well. Often good movies can spark ideas and sometimes just leave the person with a good feeling about themselves or about life. That doesn't always happen but there's always the potential.

Fan of Disney World

• I have a "Disney Platinum Plus Pass" to Walt Disney World which includes:

1. Access to all four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom
2. Two water parks: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon
3. Also, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
4. Up to 20% off on select dining and merchandise
5. Free parking at the parks (I use handicap parking which is closer to the gate).
6. No blackout dates

• So, I'm always up for a trip to Walt Disney World.
• Willing to carpool with a group using my car in handicap parking (usually closer to the gate). Being I'm willing to carpool to save people money nobody will have to pay to get there.
• I use DAS (Disability Access Service) at the parks because I can't stand long periods of time due to back problems and sometimes anxiety in crowds. DAS (which functions similar to a FastPass) gives my group and myself a return time so we don't have to stand in a long queue line even if FastPasses are all used up for that ride for the day. I mention this to benefit the people who choose to be with me.

Fan of Universal Studios Florida

• I have a "Premier Annual Pass" to "Universal Studios" and "Islands of Adventure"

This annual pass has many benefits, which can be looked up on their website. I'm not going to list all of the benefits because there's just a lot.

• If anyone else has a pass to Universal and wishes to go, I'm willing to carpool in my car since I get decent parking because I park in the handicap parking area.

Regarding me going to theme parks, I don't have any bias towards either Disney or Universal. They're equally fun for me and I just don't care enough to prefer one over the other.
