    I have talked to MJF about posting and asking for help from all of you so here goes.

    The OCSWS will be entering a team and participating in the American Cancer Society - Relay for Life in the city of Fullerton We currently have a team of 12 members walking in this 24hr event, and we have currently raised 1,183.00 so far for this charity.

    We will be holding 2 fundraisers on the Saturday of the event in order to raise more money the day of.

    The first one is a raffle of 4 prize baskets which we have being sponsored by various collectable shops and comic shops from around OC. All of the money from the raffle will be going to the Relay for Life charity.

    The Second fundraiser is what we need the help with. We want to offer photo ops with costumed fans. Currently we only have 3 members who have costumes and any of them may be walking during the time we will be conducting this event. The cost for pics will be 1.00 . We have already told the other teams about this event, and they are very excited. There will be lots of kiddies there wanting pics I'm sure.

    The Plan:

    Date: Sat. June 28th
    Time: 7pm - 9pm Arriving at 6:30 to get dressed.

    The reason for choosing this time was because of the possibility of very hot temperatures in the earlier part of the day. I know how warm my Jedi robes are, and in the heat it would be terrible, and anyone wearing armor would be even worse off.

    Oh almost forgot. There will be many activities taking place that day. You are more than welcome to come down and partake in them. One of them being a casino night as well.

    So if any of you are willing to help out please let me know by posting here in this thread. If you need any additional info please shoot me a PM. Also for those who are interested and coming to the beach party this Saturday let me know and I'll be happy to give you any additional details needed.

    Thank you!

    If I have enough money for the gas, I'll come. I know Jedi aren't as exciting as armored costumes, but unless I finish my Imperial Officer outfit it's all I have. :)

    This event is looking like it is going to be very fun. Our Keeper of the Minutes has drawn up a press release as well for the event and will be submitting it to local media outlets as well, in hopes we get some media coverage at the event. It's adding up to be a lot of fun.

    Again I will post directions to the event sometime Thurday night.

    Thank you all again!

    Here are directions for the Relay event(yeah I decided to post them early):

    Take the I-5 Northbound to the 55 FWY. Take the 55 FWY towards Riverside. Then take the 55 FWY to the 91 FWY. Take the 91 FWY Westbound. From the 91 FWY take the Lemon St exit. Make a right onto Lemon St. Continue on Lemon St for 2-3 miles. Fullerton High School will be located on the left hand side of the street.

    There should be signs posted for event parking so you'll have to look for them. In the case there are no signs posted find parking where you can at the high school.

    Once you have found parking make your way to the high school track area. From there you will need to find the OCSWS campsite. Just look for our banner. (image below)

    I look forward to seeing you all there. If you need any additional info just post here and I will try and answer any questions you may have.

    Well.....I think it's time to teach Jason a lesson about responsibility. He is always leaving one thing or another behind.

    And since he left a blade at my house on Saturday, I think I'll just give it to Donna ;)

    You broke your blade, Donna? Damn, that sucks! I'm letting Shawn borrow my blue Parks blade, after making him promise to take the utmost care with it, since he's already broken two of his own. :p

    One of the good things about my blades, is, if one ever quits lighting up, I can just take it apart, restrip the EL wire and reconnect it. :D I've already redone my purple blade because of wiring problems. If a Parks Blade stops lighting up, because of the way copper clamp connects to the EL film, which is, I think, where the problem generally occurs, you're S.O.L.! :( :mad:

    I'll bring some of my extra blades, well, I may bring all of them, you can borrow one of them for the night, though they are not as bright in a Parks saber. I should probably give you the aqua one, since it's the brightest.

    Are you going to see about another blade during Comic-Con? I think Shawn said you can get Jeff's demo blades that they whack on the poles for cheaper after a Con.. ?[face_plain]

    Thanks Loreen, I appreciate the offer.

    I do think there is a crimp/break in the connection between the EL paper and the connector. The rivit that holds the connector popped off and now it slides up into the polycarb tube.

    My blade was destroyed by two different Anakins - one in San Diego and one in Denver. My new rule is: Never loan your lightsaber to an Anakin. ;)

    I do want to make my own lightsaber and have one of YOUR blades in it!
