I figure as long as I can see the person in front of me I should be okay walking a straight line even with severe tunnel vision and red lenses. I designed the bucket so can wear my glasses inside and I also made room for fans to cool and defogging the lenses.

If we had a ton of people like the old Starlight days maybe, but with 10-15 it might be kind of weird to see two Mandos? I'm cool with being in my scout, so he is all yours if you can make it!

I can swap to TI if you want to squad up.

You are brave to troop in that. Especially after what I heard about the narrow tunnel vision. I get the same thing with Revan. Think I am nearing 20 troops with him. Vision problems are at least getting better. Going to get help with setting up a fan to help defog my lens. The only real problem is the costume is the hottest around my neck, since it is a turtleneck. I probably should stop tucking in the balaclava into it to get some breather room. The guys at Northern Lights on Saturday were telling me you could see the perspiration beads start to drip at the bottom of my mash. Ya no matter the temp I get a bunch of perspiration. I always have to wipe it out afterwards.

I walk around my tiny house wearing the helmet doing various tasks trying to get used to the impaired vision.
I'm sure there is somewhere to put a small 5v squirrel cage/blower fan or two in the Revan mask. Got to get creative is all. That mask has a long chin doesn't it? Perfect place for a fan that blows up the lens. I managed to put 2 5015 blower fans with independent power buttons, a 21700 battery and charger inside a tusken bucket. It's a nice breeze inside. We can PM some ideas if you want.

you got 2 fans in your tusken?? I HAVE TO SEE THIS!!!! I can only get one in mine and its right at the mouth LOL

Here is a photo link that has images of it. https://imgur.com/a/L7m5efk (https://imgur.com/a/L7m5efk). Even having the fan intake inverted there's still more than enough air flow to dry out my eyes. With the masking having curves it creates multiple intake spots.
def curious to see it in person theres no way I could fit my face in there with fans in that spot....

Understood. I'll know more for sure as we get closer to the date.
I'm sort of weather dependent as I don't know how the paint and weathering will hold up to rain.
And I need a bit of help dressing so I have to see if I have a helper or not.
Maybe another trooper can help too.
Thanks!
I usually have a friend with me to help with spotting but if not one of us will always be there to help no worries there man :)

I’m not sure how I will feel afterwords, but hungry and tired and hot are probably good guesses!. Don’t think we’ve met…I’m the new girl. I don’t want to promise anything, but there’s a more than 50% chance I would be up for a sandwich/burger & beverage!

Count me in :D I'm sure I'll be pretty hungry after the parade.

Weather is looking good and I have support staff so I'm in for Mando if Luke is OK with swapping to Scout. If the weather changes I can switch to spotter.
Cheers

All you! Scout it is!

Add another Gunner to the list.
A favorite, will also try to be there about 9 for parking and maybe breakfast.
See you Saturday!

I'd be down for food.

Sign me up for both the parade (generic Jedi) and afters! :) This will be my 4th event, second day trooping. :)
Anybody interested in carpooling? I'm in Beaverton.
-
This is my first time doing this one so need some advice...
I understand it's a car change. Does everyone just park on the street in the neighborhoods near the staging area or is there a public lot that's convenient?
It appears there's a large group staging area and also on the streets leading into the parade route. Where is everyone planning to gather?
Finally, what time should we be dressed and ready to go? I see there is judging at 11:00. Are we part of that or is that for "floats" etc?
Looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday!

My experience the several times we've done this event are... Parking is a free for all, The later you are the worse it is. Many of us have parked on top of the garage on 5th and Davies then walk from there as a group but it's difficult to get a spot. The parking garage is next door to the court house.
I would plan on being there an hour early at minimum. We've taken group photos before once we've all gathered at our numbered spot. It looks like we're spot number 35 this year. You have to walk around the staging area to find your number as it could be right along the street or next to a building.
Costume judging is a separate thing that individuals can enter. I've never bothered with it because I think we have an unfair advantage IMO.

OK... Thanks for the info. This helps. I plan to be there around 10:00 as it take me about an hour to suit up. That should give me plenty of time to find my way to the staging area and spot 35.
I'll also check out the parking garage as suggested.
Cheers!
Steve

So I thought I had signed up for this weeks ago, but apparently not. I’m going to pull out my ROTJ SE Boba tonight after work. Assuming he doesn’t need any major repairs, I’ll bring him. Otherwise I can wear my Mandalorian Protector approved custom if that’s okay?

Where are we staging specifically? Like the closest intersection or landmark
There’s too many weirdos around here to find you guys
-
As always, this was a great troop.

Did anyone in the troop happen to leave behind a pair of readers and sunglasses at Golden Valley Brewery? The waitress found them, at the table and they are with me.

Yup, they are mine.
