Sandtrooper
-
We'd love to have you, James. Consider yourself added!
- Bill
-
I think I'll be able to come... either as a spotter or debuting my jade costume (not sure if it'll be done by then but I can hope!)
-
Are you saying you want to be added to the roster, Jodi?
- Bill
-
I'd love to come if you guys will have me. This sounds like a great time. :mrgreen:
-
We will be expecting you there!
- Bill
-
Alright! On the roster! But what's the "?" for. It's the purple Twi'lek smuggler or bust for me.
-
Just checking.... I wasn't sure if you were wanting to Spot or bust out the Twi'lek again...
- Bill
-
Oooh sorry I should have specified!
So 20 people already? NICE!
-
Put me down as coming as the Snowtrooper.
-
Are you saying you want to be added to the roster, Jodi?
- Bill
maaaybe :D
-
anyone going as vader?
-
I am turning in a request to take this day, the 24th, off on Sunday. I will want to go, as a spotter, but I am subject to my job.
-
I have yet to hear of any Vader's. I know that Rick is bringing his Vader, as well as Chewie. I think I may be able to talk Patrick into doing Vader for the day.
Matt I will put you on the list as a tentative spotter.

Bill,
Make it official the boss said, "OK", for me not to work.
I was also wondering about parking. Where can we?
-
I will make the necesary change.
- Bill

Hey,
I know I am a little late to the party, but could you use a Jedi?
I just got added to Kashyyyk base.
I know this is something you do every year, but can anyone give some details to a new guy? What do you really do at the event? What could I help with? Are family members welcome at the event?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks!

This is a family friendly event, so yes, your family is welcome. Last year we did trooper olympics and had a Jedi training course. This year we are adding an awards ceremony to say thanks to all of those who have supported us.
All you need to do is show up, have fun and enjoy the day. The focus of his event is to raise money for Doenbecher's Children's Hospital, which is Cloud City Garrison's host charity. How we do this is we light Vader's Saber. Basically,every trooper has pics of themselves (3.5x5 or 4x6). Kids see a trooper they like and pay a dollar to get an autographed photo of their favorite trooper. The dollars are wrapped in red tissue paper, which is then put in a clear tube attached to a replica Vader saber. It is a pretty effective way to raise the money.
If you don't have pics made up, it really isn't a huge deal. But if you do have pics of you in your costume, Kinkos does them for something like .38 - .45 a print (depending on size of print). Realistically, I think if you get somewhere between 75 and 100 prints, you should be fine. I've always got that many for these events and I ended up having some left over. If you have some left over, that is ok. You can always use them for something else in the future. Bring a sharpie pen as well. I have found tht black and blue work well. Silver is good, too. I used red, but it really doesn't show up that well.
That is pretty much what we do. Any other questions, feel free to ask away! I look forward to seeing you there!

Hey guys....
Here is another idea as far as advertising for the event on Sunday. Since Luis Palau is in town today and tomorrow, it might not be a bad idea for troopers to come to downtown to pass out flyers. Since we are doing an event for a legitimate charity, this might be a great way to ring in some more donations.
I spoke to Robin about this and she asked me to throw it out there for anyone to do. However, neither of us can come down and do it. She has last minute preparations and I have other preparations to attend to myself (then off to work a wedding tomorrow night).
So, whoever has flyers and want to do this, it would be greatly appreciated. No worries if nobody can do this. I just thought I would throw it out there...

I'll be there Sunday, but my class doesn't get finished until 12 so I will probably be late. I will however, be bringing my camera again so yay for that! Unfortunately I will still be spotting, my costume has been put on hold for awhile, due to various reasons but mostly because I am beginning my Master's program and will not have as much time to work on it... sigh.. anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone tere Sunday!
Jodi

Bill,
Thanks for the update. Sill I would like to know about parking my car? Where is a good place near by, anyone?
Edit:
Question answered. For those who don't know here (http://www.cloudcitygarrison.com/forum/index.php?topic=2282.0) is a link.

Everyone,
Great event!! :D :D :D I also want to apologize for not being at the restaurant, afterward. I have a standing dinner, on Sundays, with my family and the dinner was at 5:30 tonight.
-
Okies photos from my camara are up... sadly I didn't get pictures of the award ceremony or the raffle... hopefully the other camaras there will have gotten something! Also, congrats to Steph for having decent photos to submit for her app now ;)
Jade
-
Thank you, Jodi. =P I submitted my application early this morning. Here goes nothing...
Are those pictures in the gallery yours? Or are there more pictures hiding somewhere?
Aaaand I for sure want to see the fierceness of the Nightsister posse. :D
-
MUAHAHA lol most of those pics are from my camara... plus theres a couple up now from allens I think... not sure though who they came from.... however i do know there were more camaras snapping so hopefully more Nightsister action will be forthcoming..... >.> <,<
-
I'm waiting on the action poses. As much as I love Bill's "oh snap" face, it's time for the serious business.
P.S.... that's an awesome shot XD
-
:shock:
-
Yea, kind of like that one. :mrgreen:
-
:roll:
-
WUT? It was a compliment. Anywho, the gallery is expanding! WOOT!
-
Have you got your Nightsister fix, yet?
