    My Favorite Part of Celebrate the anniversary of First Contact Day!

    It is not the Tommy Gun,or any of the other gifts. BUT when this Steppenwolf song pops on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVir8VfIiBg

    See it brings backs some good memories, of the movie for sure. But see a long time ago while in the Navy, I moonlighted as a Bouncer in a Go-Go Club (Chancy’s) in Norfolk, VA, and when this song was picked most of the Dancers would ask for it to skipped, because most felt it was too hard and/or long.

    BUT there was one waitress (she was not a normal/billed performer), named Francine who could be talked into dancing to it, between the dancer’s sets. See she was a real trained dancer so this song was a fun thing for her to do, and was saving her money to continue her schooling in Dance and to move to California, so the extra tips helped.

    And BTW Francine and I did go on a couple of dates, but it was nothing serious.

    SO if I am a little distracted while this TFO is on it is because of my Captains and I, are hanging around to dance to this song after the TFO ends to have some memories of a dear friend and my past days of youth.

    I’m not entirely sure why… but reading that made me feel better about my day. So… thanks for sharing!

    Being my first First Contact event ever, I was so happy when that song kicked on during the rocket launch. I stood there just singing along to it. Now, every time that cooldown is done, I plan on jumping in to that TFO mainly just to hear it again. 🙂

    I’m jumping into this event too, I’ve always missed it.  I am getting a little tired of my perfect rockets being beaten by blue ones, but whatever.  The song scared and elated me when I first did it, so very cool.

    Good way to grab easy marks on alts, too.  Plus it’s actually nice not having to shoot things for a change.

    Having E and H purple and blue S seems to go further than all three purple

    Silly Newbie Question 1001 Mark 5XJ3 – Alpha: Now that all four of my toons have gotten all the prizes for the TFO, can I save up the special Zefram Cochrane Memorial Hologram Voucher for next year or do they change?

    They don’t change (so far), so you can, or turn them in for some extra marks. I recommend saving them for next year.
