Anyway, this would likely be a parking lot suit up, wouldn't it...

I say we park and ride it. I'm totally in, though I think we might have better attendance if we did a glodeo (5:45 on Friday night) or the night magic show (5:45 Saturday night). Those are also big nights for families with kids and teens.

Just a couple of thoughts.

propgeek out...

That's a really good point. It's mostly the hardcore balloonist that are out that early. The evening events draw more of a family crowd. Weather permitting.

Propgeek, I got a hold of the office and cell phone number for the fiesta coordinator. It's good to have contacts in high places! wink I'll PM it to you.

Maybe we could do more than one event - morning and evening. That gives more opportunity for us to be available to make it and more exposure to different crowds. IMHO

Hardcore balloonists? Last year we went to a weekend Mass Ascension and there were a TON of people there. Amazing number of kids and families.

But yeah, there's also tons of people at the glows...

better to do 2 events also in case the weather cancels one of them out...haven't checked the forecast for later this week though.

I'm gonna be on crew duty those days, so probably can't make it.

Viv,
You know your flight suit goes on nicely over a pair of shorts or sweats, right? You could wear the flight suit down there, and just put on the armor in the parking lot. Would that be so bad?


Yeah, I know, I have a pair of thin leggings I wear underneath. I'm just not a morning person so it sounds like too much work! tongue I don't think I'll wanna deal with all the traffic that early and then have to suit up at my vehicle and walk in by myself in costume...blah de blah blah. You know... So I would probably go but not suited up. That way I could be half asleep and cranky with no bad reflection on the 501st. tongue

I would be much more up to an evening event. grin

See, that's what I meant about attendance being better for an evening event. Many of us are night owls. Few of us are early birds.

I'm not making any promises, but what if I can get you guys a place to suit up? There may be a slight chance I can get part of the Golf Academy to don the costumes. Let me know and I can ask my boss.

Well, if I had a costume to wear I might have gone. Been a pain and a half to find a Sandtrooper outfit in my rather stalky size. But since this is the first Fiesta in 3 years I won't have to work for the station I am employed by, taking a breather this year.
