First I heard of it.

 

First I've hear of it too.

501st will be there? Who? the Rings?

Hate to say it but....the site layout looks familiar, even though there are no wingnut references on the site itself.

 

Well... he sent an email to the 501st with a request for them... so far no one is volenteering... though I said I probably would... I figure I'll book the day off... Apparently the location is next to a Library, that would bring a few kids probably... it'd be nice to see some of you as well... bubt I realize it is a week day...

 

Hummm

Sent in a request...announced the 501st would be there....yet got no official word the 501st were coming.

What do you think John? Sound familiar?

If it is legit...I'll see if I can go.

 

PM sent and apparently its legit (and safe)

My problem is the weekday thing as well. I have to see if I can grab a few hours off perhaps, but it looks unlikely knowing the basic work schedule that day.

 

I still have to follow up on this... will let you know for sure if I am going...

 

The weekday thing sure make it hard to commit

 

So who is hosting it?

 

Im off work that day. I'll be going in costume for a bit

 

Woofer mentioned it to me, but I have to work guys... sorry.

 

My name is Gord Bowes and I am writing a story about the screening for Niagara This Week. Looking to talk to anyone from Niagara who will be attending this event in costume. Have talked to organizer but also need to speak to person who plans to attend before my deadline May 14. Thanks.

or two commenting.

I hope it turns out well for you!

Yes FanExpo this year will be huge for us. If you can get it done
before then there will be ton's of event's to participate in and

No one mentioned this in London, where there may be one or two interested. I work though, and I can't get the day off.

 

Was interviewed for this event

anyone else going to show up? Hope to see ya'll there!!!!!

 

I'm still hoping to make an appearance, but really can't say until closer to the event. A bit of flux in my schedule for that day still.

If it works out though there will be a pilot there at least.

 

I just wanted to thank all who plan on attending this Friday..and look forward to meeting you all.
I will be interviewed Live tomorrow morning on CKTB 610 Radio if you get a chance to listen at around 7:55am

Thanks
