Is anyone going to Star Wars Night at the Ballpark tonight? If so, make sure to look for The North Ridge fan table. If you bump into Darth Vader, say hi and mention your on BuffaloMe.

Saw Stars Wars in German, French and then Spanish. Had know idea what was happening until I got back to the States. Darth Vader does not sound very tough in French, but he sounds like a real bad ass in German.
