So lots of things are happening around the Outpost and if you've been trying to enjoy the sunshine you may have missed a few really big things. First off, Our very own Cliftonian and Hampus tied the knot recently becoming Jerry and Elizabeth Fredriksson. In doing so they've joined a select group of couples aboard the Outpost who have met, become smitten, and married because of their coming around and chatting. I'm sure I can speak for the entire Outpost when I say that we hope you have a wonderful life together. Personally, I can say they are both dear friends of mine who deserve all the love and happiness that the world has to offer. Congratulations to you both *raises glass*

Second on that list of big stuff coming, we have the Outpost 10F Union in Philadelphia coming up in just a few weeks. If you are feeling adventurous, there is still time for you to get involved. I am going and can't wait to finally meet some of you guys on the streets of Philly. If you can't make it, make sure you keep an eye on the Outpost's Facebook page. Those attending will be posting pictures and videos there so that you can live vicariously through us. Going to be tons of fun, but fear not the Unions team is already working on the 2015 North American Union which will be talked about more during the Anniversary festivities.

Which is a natural segue to the Outpost's 17th Anniversary Celebration next month. A time where we eat, drink, and be merry! There are events, speeches, fun awards, and a whole lot more! We also recognize those who've made the Outpost a better place in the past year. Some members return from the void to help us celebrate as well. We always look forward to that. Vice Commander Tanya is hard at work planning this year's shindig so keep an eye out for the schedule and make sure to come around.

As for this month's issue, lots of good stuff. Cameron went to a Comic Con and lets us know about the experiences of a fanboy, Numbers gives you come insight into the proposed Stargate Room. Paulie pulls double duty this month giving you the low down on the Blue Report on Facebook and the On Screen Movie Review, and if the heat is getting to you, Robert Atkins cools you done with a recipe for Homemade Sorbet.

That's all I have for this month. Thanks for taking some time to read. Talk to you all next month.

Smith out.
