More picts

Here are some more picts from the last Rebel event. Ashley took even more picts. My next goal is to replace the chest box straps with the bigger ones I have.

Already we are planning our next event, Winston-Salem Symphony is doing a John Williams music night. Should be another big event with ~16 troopers showing up. I just hope I don’t have to perform on stage.

Trooping for Tots

Saturday, I once again donned the orange and headed up to Richmond VA for a Toys for Tots drive at the Toys R US. We had a huge crowd show up with star wars t-shirts and cameras.  Here’s the link from the 501st site.  The costume is now in pretty good shape.  I picked up a Rubies Flight helmet on e-bay and got ear cups and boom mike in it.  I picked up a pair of jump boots with gel inserts which helped my feet greatly.  It was also a chance to meet the other local 501st garrison, as well as the rest of the active Freedom Base guys. Was definitely worth 6 hours I spent in a car and getting dressed in a loading dock.  I am looking forward to troopin’ with everyone again.
