08.18.10 Weird Al Concert in Chehalis, WA (Wednesday)

[TK-Tank]

I am extending an invitation to the members of Cloud City Garrison to participate in a Garrison Titan event: a Weird Al Yankovic concert to be held in the city of Chehalis, WA on August 18, 2010 at the Southwest Washington Fair. http://southwestwashingtonfair.net/fair-events/weird-al-yankovic-live

CHARACTER REQUIREMENTS--THIS IS A CANON EVENT
The requirements and instructions for each concert are very specific when it comes to the number & types of characters:

• One Darth Vader preferred.
• An even number (it has to be an even number) of stormtroopers (TK's) ranging between 6 and 12.
• An optional two additional helmeted or masked characters (it has to be two), such as Boba Fett. (Sorry, but no imperial officers or other open-face characters wanted.)

There has to be an even number of troopers on either side of Darth Vader. If no Darth Vader is available, there still has to be an even number of troopers.  We can also have one handler and one archivist/photographer to shoot video of our performance if the venue permits video recording.

Sorry, but this event is not open to Rebel Legion costumes.

ARRIVAL TIME:
This show starts at 8:30 p.m. 501st members need to arrive between 1 to 2 hours before the show begins. The absolute latest arrival time is 1 hour prior to the show start time, so don't be late!

PARKING:
They will try to provide at least 3 parking passes. Carpooling is encouraged.

GUESTS:
They will try to provide complimentary seats to guests, if we have any; but the total number of complimentary seats is limited per venue. We'll have to wait and see how many we may be able to get.

FOOD:
They are happy to provide dinner backstage for all 501st performers and handlers.  They'll need a full list of people in our group and any dietary restrictions no less than 7 days prior to show day.  They cannot extend this courtesy to guests.  Performers or handlers accompanied by guests should arrange to eat before arrival.

IMPORTANT UPDATE (08/09/10)
JoshEEE from GT has committed to going to the Chehalis, WA concert. This should be enough troopers to do the show, which I will confirm with the tour manager. Unfortunately, the Lynden, WA show on August 17, 2010 will be canceled.

CHEHALIS APPEARANCE STILL GO!!!

[Zolotkey]

What about a 501st trooper?

[TK-Tank]

What about a 501st trooper?

That wouldn't be a problem since they said that there can be two additional helmeted characters.

I wish this wasn't on a weekday! Too bad, I'd totally find a way up to it with my TS if it weren't

Hope you get enough folks for it!

Yeah, I wish it wasn't on a weekday either. There are actually 2 concerts in WA; the one in Chehalis is the second of the two. The first is the night before in Lynden, which is next to the Canadian border.  What I may do soon is contact the concert promoter about opening this is up for additional costume types.

[My Only Fettish]

I would love to do this!  I could wear either my Gree or, if I get it finished, my Boba Fett.  How do I sign up?? 

[The Kreator]

Excellent!  I was meaning to get in touch with you about this one and glad to see it will be open to CCG as well.  The only Oregon event is the same day as our Garrison picnic, and it's quite a drive and I think I was the only one interested in making it.  This date will work much better, and we should be able to fill the requested roster.

Please put me down as Vader!

[Zolotkey]

Ill Go!

[Hoot]

Need a spotter?

[TK-Tank]

I've updated the roster. Thanks guys! I'll make sure that the roster is updated both here and on the GT boards.

[hosaycuervo]

I suppose it's too late to sign up with my biker scout?

[TK-Tank]

Not necessarily. I'm waiting to see who may be interested in doing the concert. If there aren't enough TK's, I can ask the promoter about opening it up to other costume types.

[Pepito]

I can go - but I have a Shocktrooper Clone, let me know if that would help - if not, no worries

I will probably be contacting Weird Al's promoter very soon about having more non-TK's participate since not a lot appear to be available. I don't think it will be a problem, but we definitely need to get their okay first.

Keep me posted - I did a Wierd Al troop before when he was in Eugene (back when I had a TK) and it was a lot of fun
