Saturday......

Saturday I'm going to be doing a combined 501st / Rebel Legion troop at Crossroads Mall in Bellevue.

Basically the National Endowment for the Arts is sponsoring The Big Read, which is a programme to "restore reading to the center of American culture"

As part of this, we're going to be helping the King County Library branch there give away books, as well as promoting reading in general. (the discussion is on “Fahrenheit 451” and one of the things they are focusing on is dystopian societies and science fiction literature.)

It's noon to 4pm. Afterwards, I may go to the social that nwsfs is running.

On one hand, the TIE outfit is the more eye catching. On the other hand, I haven't had a chance to wear my newest Jedi robes yet.

Also going to bring my Stormtrooper armor, to see which parts are salvagable and what parts are not. I'm thinking of turning it to sandtrooper armor, depending on what parts are salvagable and what parts aren't.

Sunday looks like seattlejo and I will be going to the Puyallup fair. (don't ask me to pronounce "Puyallup")

Hi! I found you through a post that you made on the starwars community, and I was wondering if you would be interested in a certain small event. I've been trying to contact a few different garrisons of the 501st for a few weeks now, but haven't gotten any response. I'm getting married on September 22nd at Hollly Lane Gardens on Bainbridge Island from 4:00 to 4:30pm, and i was wondering if you knew ANYONE, even just a few people, who would be willing on such short notice to don their armor and provide my wedding service with the security that only the Empire can provide? I know the 501st generally doesn't do weddings (and admittidly that may be why I haven't gotten any responses), but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. My fiancee originally wanted to get married at Celebration IV, but for some reason I turned down that idea. She was really disappointed, and I regret doing that, as that would have been lots of fun. My fiancee has done most of the planning, and I wanted to give her a surprise that would make it all worthwhile to her. I would not be able to feed anyone or provide transportation, as I have already spent much on the wedding itself, but they would not have to stay long. I would be grateful if you'd be able to provide any leads, and if that's not possible I totally understand. Hope to hear from you!

Did you ask on the Garrison Titan or Alpha Base boards?? Or FanForce??

If not, let me know and I'll give you the URLs to post. No promises though
