Hey EL Chorko. My name is Rich, nice to see another Jersey ghosthead on-line. I don't really know of any other ghostheads (at least on the forums) from Camden County.

If you haven't already, check out the other NJ franchise threads to check out where others are from and a little history provided by myself about the timeline of Jersey franchises.

Besides the third NJ Ghostbusters who seem like they're near Cherry Hill, I found a Jersey Shore GB Division through Facebook. I left them a message to introduce myself and see what they're about. It isn't that clear on their page.

As far as the "registered" franchises, check either Ghostbusters International's Locations and/or look at the Northeast franchises list that's on this message board.

I use to live in Essex County, moved to Ocean County in 2009.

Are you going to the screening of Ghostbusters next week that I'm pretty sure is in your county? I believe its in Somedale. (sp?) The North Jersey Ghostbusters posted about it on there Facebook page. I don't know if they're planning to make the drive from the Caldwell area "way south." ;)

Even if I wanted to, I won't be able to attend that screening because I have other plans that day.

Nice to meet you Rich, my name is Greg. The theater is 2 miles from my house and I will be there. I think they are showing it the 4th and 7th. I have about 2 hours worth of work for my pack and its done. I want it done by next week for the screening. I have tried contacting Philly GB several times but I have not heard back yet. I know one GBNJ is not as active as they used to be. I haven't looked into any other local groups.

I was living in Sussex County for a while because of work but I'm back in Camden County now. I'm just looking for some other Ghostbusters to go out with and do something.

Any North easterners, Sunday Aug.4 at 2:00pm, Wednesday Aug. 7 at 2:00pm and 7:00pm Cinemark 16 in Somerdale NJ (right near a PATCO train station there will be showings of GB1. I plan on attending Sunday at 2 and/or Wednesday at 7. If any of you can make it I'd like to met you. I'll be dressed up

Greg, nice to "meet" you too. That's cool then about the theater and showing being close to your house. When Sony uncharacteristically showed Ghostbusters in theaters in 2011 I was able to go my local chain theater to see it in October 2011. I was cautious about going "full fandom" on the three or four guys I talked to before it started. There were some other fans there, some were casual and there was one hipster emo guy :lol: with a probably Hot Topic "no ghost" logo t-shirt. I told him to wear it proudly and he looked at me like he couldn't be bothered. What's up, what did he expect? There was also this dad who brought his son. His son was wearing a kid's version of the Rubie's costume. The kid did have a Kenner RGB P.K.E Meter. 8)

Away from the randomness I hear you about meeting other ghostheads to hang out with. I've done it before and that's what I would like to do again too at some point. Hopefully locally, of course north or south from here too. I'm not that familiar with Sussex County. There was a time when "north" to Morris or "south" to where I am now and further were far for a kid who grew up minutes from Newark.

Well it seems like 2 out of three current GB "franchises" (one i'm apart of) aren't as active as they use to be. I'd like to change that some and if it makes sense expand a "business" down here.

Spengs,

I got in touch with somone from Philly GB and he said they werent that active anymore either. I'd like to get involved in some franchise type thing even if that means re-booting or creating a new one, but a 1-man franchise reboot isnt exactly something more than a random person dressed silly walking around.

Is anybody interested in starting something or at least trying to...?

Greg, If their is a local/state event I or other fans within the area/state are attending and I at least know about it, I'll publicly post to let anybody know. I had forgotten today for example it was Monster Mania (Monster Con) in Cherry Hill. I had a friend who probably went, I know his brother did. I didn't plan on going, since I originally heard about it this year, I had other financial obligations and plans.

I can understand about not wanting to be the lone "field agent." I kinda did that at times. If the other, closer Jersey franchise isn't active or something changed with their group, (I believe they are on this board, they can let us know too) your closest franchise is Ghostbusters NJ, run by friend and "employer" Bill Malkin. He is also on this board, if he sees this, he could reply as well. Don't you love how I am forcing members to post? :-P I haven't talked to Bill in a while, sure we could put you on the map.

If you may want something closer, start a FB page at the least, (I wouldn't have told you that 5 years ago) "advertise," and see if other area fans want to start something together. It's been working for the North Jersey Ghostbusters.

Barring all the above we could start up Those Other Jersey Ghostbusters. :lol: Well, the name could be a work in progress. :whatever:

Rich, unfortunately I was one of the people who had to let him down gently as GBNJ is not as active as we once were. which is weird to say as I am in the process of building a new pack and uniforms. so with 3 fan film project on the horizons, I think we're just a fan film only franchise.

I know we still need to make plans to hang out, probably talk shop and possibly formulate (big word) a renewed "franchise" plan.

Greg, you got it! If something gets figured out on my end I'll keep the state updated. :-P

I think if we are seroius about a GBNJ reboot, there should be some kind of gathering of the interested parties... Not sure where or when or how yet, but I think if "we are serious about this catching ghosts thing" we should get aquainted.

Maybe as a "group" we could plan to meet at a haunted hy ride type thing, like Creamy Acres in Mullica HIll

It seems fitting for a bunch of "Ghostbusters" to meet at a haunted hayride place

as Venkman would say "I love this plan I'm excited to be a part of it, lets do it!!"

Greg: I understand where you're coming from. From where I came from with Jersey franchises I wanted to wait until I had talked to Bill and/or started figuring out my new flight suit. I had thought if I was committing to a new costume (even without a franchise) I knew that eventually I'd want to do franchise related events.

Up to then, after all these years I know I wanted to meet Jersey ghostheads again.

I'm going to start a new thread to talk more about Jersey Ghostbusters to give the update we've sorta patiently been waiting for.

I like your ideas, only problem for me right now with going to most events is my car, once affectionately known at times as "Ecto-C." I have a CEL after maybe coincidentally after having unexpected expenses with the car around the same time. As of now I don't know when I'll be able to have the work done. :/ While it may partially prevent me from doing some GB things, it certainly shouldn't stop anybody else from having fun.

Thanks for posting about the upcoming screening. I know where I can post it.

As cool as an Ecto would be to have at events and things I'm still willing to make do with what we have or don't have in this case, until things get figured out and get going. I'm also willing to help in any way. I would love to work with others to get GBNJ back up and running.

NJ has ghosts... Who you gonna call...?

send me info about the GBNJ thread you spoke of when it happens
By Spengs
#460993
Greg, I posted in new threads about GBNJ. Glad to hear we could have your support.

My car is a 2000 Toyota Corolla. It's green (not originally by choice) when i'd briefly get together for "franchise" business I turned the car into a "company" car. It wasn't an Ecto by any traditional means.

That's great about your Ford Escort. Bill has owned a Ford Mustang, featured in our hit fan movie, Leeds' Curse. :cool: Most of my girlfriend's family has or does own Fords. I have really liked the newer (pre 2012) Focus.

My Corolla is usually pretty good, with the car aging, this is the first year some things did and do need to be taking care of. I didn't work on the car myself I've kept up with maintenance through the years. I just don't have all the cash right now to take care of the unexpected CEL issue, which has been checked.
