Hi all! My name is Beth FitzGibbon, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the Cloud City Garrison having admired the work of the 501st for a long time after first seeing a troop at Star Wars Weekends back in 2009. I never thought I would have the courage to apply, but after flying on the Galactic Starcruiser last summer, my desire to feed my Star Wars obsession exploded.
I've been cosplaying for many years, and while I've made some random costumes, I always return to Star Wars for my source of inspiration. my first (and I hope not last) approved costume is a Narkina 5 Inmate, but I'm already dreaming of what I want to do next (leaning towards Seventh Sister, albeit a very short one!)
I do have a Saja suit I've been working on since last summer, and am hoping to eventually submit to the RL for approval.
In my real world life, I'm retired from a career doing a lot of things related to gaming and entertainment in the tech industry , and now spend time taking care of my husband, who still works full-time, our three dogs and making a lot of things for my etsy shop (pretty much all Galactic Starcruiser related stuff).
I can't wait to have a chance to meet you all in person, and I'll be back in Kelso starting May 11th after a two week trip down to Disney World. I'll be in Black Spire Outpost for May the 4th and happy to pick up anything from there and smuggle it back. Thank you to Luke and Michael for the warm welcome and hopefully see y'all soon!
Beth
