patgundSaturday 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seattlejo and I will be going to the Puyallup fair. (don't ask me to pronounce "Puyallup")

(are there any good ref pictures for Jedi robes? Good as in "can make costume from" as opposed to what I've found which is "can look nice in pictures". My Beduin outfit's only a short step removed from Kenobi's outfit and have a Con coming up so.... :)
btw: *wavies hi* and glad you've been enjoying the Northeast US and the company of its fine and wonderful citizenry. Cheers!

I trooped up at PNE in Vancouver a few weeks ago. They're a good group of people.

They look like exactly the right folks. Ta!
