I am in again for this year. Costume TBD. If we are opening it up to other clubs I'd happily join as a Mandalorian Protector.

Tee and I are in - provided we have somewhere sheltered to rest and change so we aren't standing in the sun in costume for two and a half hours before the parade like last year.

I'd like to discuss getting a hotel room to change in that will be more central to the staging area if others are keen on contributing for this, or possibly even seeing if a hotel wants to donate use of a conference room for a couple of hours.

[jauntyharrison]

That's a good idea and I'd be willing to pitch in. We'd have to know well and in advance where our staging area is likely to be in order to get a room that would be within a couple of blocks of where we need to step off.

As soon as we get a rough idea of where our staging area is going to be, I intend to approach the closest hotel and see if they have a conference room that we can use as a changing and storage area for the parade. If there are costs involved, I’ll update here.
