    Last night was a blast... it is always a blast hanging out with you guys so I'm not surprised. I think 10 of us went up there.. thats a pretty good turn-out for an out of town event. It was good seeing the OC and IE fanforce people...after I finally took off my helmet at the end of the evening, I was able to talk to them. [face_laugh] I found out I could wear my stormy boots for 7 1/2 hours without them hurting, and wore my helmet for 3 hours without having to take it off once. :D Comic Con here I come!

    My highlights of the evening were of course shaking hands with the kids, and Evette and I surprising the Girl Scouts by turning out to be "girls" ourselves. That was a good lesson for them I think - that they can aspire to be anything they want when they grow up, even stormtroopers working for the Empire. :D It was hilarious watching Jason in Armor, Dan and Matt as Royal Guards, being chased by a "Leia" and a Jedi running around the track. I can't believe they did that considering how hot it was there to start with. I loved when they started playing the "Star Wars Cantina" song and the "Leia" got up and started dancing, and then Vader went over to join her... sooooo very funny. It was also fun jaywalking across the busy street with Jason, it is amazing how one stormtrooper can make several lanes of traffic stop. LOL!

    Yeah...the thermometer on Brendan's speeder said 81 degrees when we arrived. If I can handle that in costume, I'm pretty sure I'm set for the Con.

    Thanks everybody, for coming up to support us. :D You made the event for us. It was a lot of fun with all you guys and gals.

    It was great seeing the people we already knew, and meeting a few new ones.

    Can't wait to see you all again at Comic-Con! :)

    Wow where do I possibly start.

    Thank you all for coming out and helping us. This event was a blast and I enjoyed seeing everyone again. As for our total numbers concerning donations, it hovers around $3000.00 right now. I'll have an exact number sometime this week.

    The event was great. I think everyone loved seeing all of us there. I had alot of people walking up to me throughout the later parts of the night also in the morning just saying how much they really like everyone who came out in costume and it made for the most memorable Relay they have had in a long time.

    I looking forward to Comic-Con where we will all be able to spend some time hanging out and having fun. See you all soon!

    And thank you all once again.

    Yeah Linda, traffic may have stopped for stormy Jason, but i'm pretty sure the hooting and honking was for the shapley lass in the black bodysuit waving her puple lightsaber. :)

    Without a doubt THE lamest excuse for not showing up at an event.

    If I'm not mistaken, it was the Girl Scouts who were HITTING Jason. Kids like to come up and just whack Jason for some reason... happens wherever we go.

    girl scouts hitting jason in his stormie costume

    *mumbles something about picking on people who are blinded by their allegiance to the empire*

    or maybe it's one uniformed regime assaulting another!

    It was our pleasure! I am so happy everyone enjoyed themselves. By the time morning came few of us were able to do much of anything. Thank you all so much for your help in this!

    I had a great time breaking in my new boots! :) Or was it breaking in my toes? Ah, either way, it was breaking something. Soreness in the feet aside, I had a blast!

    Donna gets my nomination for Imperial Navigator... was wondering where she was headed instead of the freeway when we left! (opposite direction). ;)
