I had a great time yesterday with the guys from Birmingham GB (soon to be, if not already Alabama GB).  It’s a group of dedicated “Ghostbusters” fans that are working on props, costumes, etc.  We are planning some events right now for some local fairs, the Birmingham Zoo and others.

Why do I do it?  It’s a release from the stress of everyday life.  It gives me a chance to hang out with some nice guys who share the same love I have for this franchise.  It’s a chance to show our appreciation to the people who made something so culturally significant.  It’s also a chance for us to go out and do things for local communities.

If you know me, you know I’m into quite a few things entertainment-related: “Star Trek,” “Ghostbusters,” “Batman,” “The Office,” horror movies.  I’m not hung up on celebrity news, or anything of that sort.  I just have these few things that give me pleasure and time away from work and the daily grind at home.

I don’t have costumes or props from these other things (save a lot of toys and some screen-used props from a couple of the “Batman” movies and “Star Trek: The Next Generation”). But the props I’ve put together from “Ghostbusters” are instantly recognizable anywhere.  That, and they’re fun to put together.

It’s late, and I’m tired.  I don’t think I made a good effort to glue these thoughts together.  If you have an interest in “Ghostbusters,” why not join us?  It’s a pretty fun hobby with some great folks.
