Hello wonderful Jedi Assembly
Though my Jedi name is Erista Kronos, my real name is Erika. I remember liking Star Wars for as long as I can recall. I basically grew up with the prequel trilogy and have welcomed the company of all Star Wars characters in many different venues: action figures, the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, KotOR, books (huge fan of The New Jedi Order series, among others). In fact, going along the NJO strain, I'm becoming increasingly interested in the expanded universe in general, both Old and New Republic eras.
About me outside the Star Wars realm, I'm a music education student in upstate New York going into my senior year this fall. I play the saxophone, mostly classical although I do play some jazz! I do yoga and meditate every morning, and I drink my coffee black à la French press (I like to be able to chew my coffee... kidding ). Any other questions, just ask ;D
As for the costume... working on it. Still in the planning stages, but tomorrow I'm actually taking a trip to the hardware store to play with some potential lightsaber parts. I work part time at a hardware store in the summers and on my break today I walked around and nonchalantly tried to fit random parts together to get some ideas. Any suggestions for how to go about the lightsaber crafting are most appreciated! I noticed there's a whole section on the forum dedicated to it, so I'll have a look.
Anyways, enough about me. I hope to get to know you all soon!
