You mean there are people on this board who don't know who the Tonnika Sisters are?

I mean there are Star Wars fans I know who know way more about the mvies than I do, who don't know who the Tonnika Sisters are.

I'm trying to talk a couple of my female friends to dress up as them, at least for some pictures heh

That would be really cool. I saw a woman dressed as one of them (the one in green) a few years ago. It's a fairly simple costume, but if done well, looks really cool.

I picked up the prize donation (some giftcards) from Neo Tokyo today. We now have all the donations.

I also printed up ballots for the ballot draw, two 24" x 36" signs for a sandwich board sign holder which will display the day's schedule, some posters to put up downtown before the weekend, and certificates of achievement (which we'll give out to all the prize winners). Is there anything I've forgotten?

I got 2 more target hoops for the thermal detonator toss and I'm making a new target for the wookiee sniper shoot.

Great!

Do we still need more foam sabers for the lightsaber tournament?

Are they being sold anywhere?

I was thinking we'd have to give them out to people who sign the guest book, on a while suplies last. It maybe an expence that we will have to cut too. they were a $1, now they are $2.
first year we had about 90 and they were all gone.
second year we had about 90 and came back with about 60.

I checked Dollarama in Sherwood Forest Mall and they have 2 different styles of foam swords in stock. There is a grey foam pirate-style sword (which I believe is $1), and a new "lightsaber" style sword with either a blue or red "blade" and lightsaber-shaped hilt. I believe these are $2 each and they seem to have a hard plastic core inside the foam. I can pick up some tomorrow - say $20 worth. Just let me know which kind would be best.

Here's something I forgot.
The 2 girls that have been volunteering at the past 2 events didn't want to come this year and sit at the tables all day. So they'll be face painting, Darth Maul and the Queen for the kids to go with the ep.I theme.

That's excellent.

My brother told me that Walmart is selling Star Wars 3D kites in the shape of the Falcon, an X-wing fighter, and Vader's TIE fighter. They are $29 each. It would be cool to see one of those flying over the event.
