Bing, NY B-Sens Star Wars Night - Jan 19th

If anyone is interested in just attending/watching the game (out of costume), I just received the flier to order tickets from the B-Sens.

Do we have to pay/need tickets if we're participating in costume?

 

Costumed volunteers don't need to buy tickets if they're volunteering - only if they're interested in sitting and watching the game (out of costume).

Like last year, volunteers do need to submit their names to me so that I can submit them to the B-Sens for our free concourse passes.

P.S. Sorry about the duplicate thread - I had forgotten about the one I started a few months back.

 

okay, do I private message doc Bev? Or will Bing. FanForce take care of listing names next meeting?

 

I'm not sure how Ian is doing things for you guys, but I suppose you could always do both just to cover your bases.

~Doc_Bev

 

I'm sure we'll be taking care of it at the next meeting.

 

okey dokey!

 

I'm in of course. I'll also be bringing my skates for after the game any one else?

 

I am in cant wait

 

I'm glad so many of you are able to join us for this event again.

Nice job on the interview today guys and girls.

I am looking forward to tomorrow.

 

Terrific event guys!
We all got home between 2am-3am-ish.
Having trouble getting the photos off my camera, but hopefully I'll have that sorted out tomorrow.
It was great to meet some of the newbies and troop again with the rest of the regulars.

~Doc_Bev

 

That was really fun! I got quite a few cool pics too, but I have no clue how to post them or even a link to them. I'll have to have someone show me...can't wait for the next event.

 

Hey everybody! This is Count Dooku from last night. This is my first time on this discussion board. I just wanted to let everyone know that I had a lot of fun, and really felt welcomed into this group with my first event. Can't wait to see the pics. I'm not sure how to send mine. Let me know. Do I attach it through this board, or email them? Thanks!!!

 

Although it would mean yet another board to sign up for, you're welcome to upload them in an album with the rest of the photos that I'll be putting up on Garrison Excelsior's site (www.garrisonexcelsior.com).

~Doc_Bev

 

Any Idea when the pics will be on the garrison site today?

 

hey Doc Bev,

I was going to register and upload the pics on the site you named, but it requires a legion i.d. number? I have no legion i.d. number. So does that mean we can't post?

 

That part is optional (or at least supposed to be) - you can just leave it blank.

Sometime today I am hoping, but it probably won't be until closer to dinner time as I have some other work to do this afternoon.

~Doc_Bev

 

I just tried to leave it blank (it's * next to the field.) Didn't work. It told me i had to fill in all required blanks

 

I'll look into it, but for now - just put in 0000.
Sorry for the confusion.

~Doc_Bev

 

I have a better idea, just use photobucket at: http://www.photobucket.com

 

okay kids, I posted them at http://www.garrisonexcelsior.com/forum/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=43841

I'll add captions later. there are obviously an inordinate amount of ones with myself up there! Hey it was my camera! *evil laugh*

 

Great pictures from all. Of course, I'm biased towards the ones that have Mara Jade in them.

 

I never think about photobucket - we've hosted a webserver out of our house for so many years I've never had to look into one of those free picture hosting sites.

I just thought it would be nice to have all the event pics in one place for easy viewing.

The pictures from my camera are also up now.
http://www.garrisonexcelsior.com/forum/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=43841
Most of the ones taken on my camera were pictures of kids from the jail & bail (and those are on a seperate password protected site for privacy of minors) so I don't have too many.
