Calling all fans, spotters, and members of Star Wars Oregon, the 501st Legion, and the Rebel Legion! After the success of our first meet-and-greet last October, we're hosting another casual meet-and-greet again in February.

This isn't a costumed event, but if ANY of the following apply to you, we'd love to see you there!

- You love Star Wars and want to meet some new people
- You're interested in what it takes to build a Star Wars costume
- You're interested in helping out at our events as a spotter
- You've seen us around town or on Facebook and are curious to learn more about who we are, what we do, and how we do it
- You're a fan of the impact we have on charity fundraising in our communities
- You're working on building a costume and joining us in the near future
- You're already a member and just want to spend some time with the group out of costume

Join us! Drop in any time between 4pm and 7pm, and stay for as long as you like. We'll be upstairs with our own dedicated space (no outsiders complaining that we're blocking TV screens this time!). Minors are also welcome. There won't be any formal presentations or talks, but we will be there to chat and answer any questions you have about our group and our costumes.

We look forward to seeing you there! You can sign up here on our forums, or if you're on Facebook you may sign up there!

Feel free to post any questions regarding the event, and we hope to see you there!

We'll have our own private area, so if you feel like sharing it's fine.

We have Sylvia’s Room and the Brewers’ Den reserved, so on arrival, you can ask for directions there. Should be on the 2nd floor.

Post by: Beckett on February 26, 2017, 02:18:56 PM: My friend Joe Sandvig will be attending this. He's hoping to chat with and get to know a few of you. He has mentioned wanting to start with an x-wing costume and maybe a Chewie eventually. He has worn his Chewie (rubies costume) to several cons. He a great guy, daughter that plays softball and he umpires at softball tournament all around Oregon.

Post by: daryldoak on February 26, 2017, 08:17:54 PM: This was a great event! Thanks to the staff for setting this up.

So fun to have time to talk to friends out of costume, and to meet new people that share our love of Star Wars and are interested in costuming.

Can't wait for the next meet and greet!
