    I just came from Walmart and spoke to the manager. He gave me the posters and ask me to hang them up at the store first thing in the mourning. So look for them tomorrow.

    maybe we discussed this all ready, and I have missed it (been a long...FUN day). Do we have a specific place that we are meeting at 10pm? And is this all taking place in the parking lot. or the electronics department? Or does WalMart have a special place for us? Just trying to make sure before Monday, because sometimes it's hard to find people, even when they're in costume. ;)

    We had talked about some of us dressing on our costumes and handing some fliers, and here's the result:

    Excellent pictures, we all look great! When I squint my eyes and look at those pictures, I do look a little like Harrison Ford. I never knew I had it in me! ;)

    Thanks for puting up the posters Eric! Hopefully that will help draw in some more people.

    I bought a Darth Wrinkles Pez dispenser at Spencer Wall-Mart the other day that I'll be donating to the Kid's Costume contest winner. I also nabbed some candy incase there are any trick-or-treating Jedi abound.

    I hope we have a good turnout, I'm excited already! [face_pumpkin][face_dancing][face_pumpkin]

    The trivia contest is 61% done (61 outta 100 questions yeah I figured that out myself... horray for percentages). I should be able to finish it this afternoon easily and rubber cement the questions (I typed them up so whoever reads them can actually read them) to the notecards and make them pretty.

    However I need a tie breaker question. A multiple parter or something really, really hard. I was thinking something about where those numbers show up in each movie but I'm so open to suggestions. Post them here or PM them to me or e-mail pointyearedchic at yahoo dot com. Even if you have a trivia question you want to include that you really like let me know. I'll be here all day (until I go out to get rubber cement).

    See ya'll Monday, I promise Auston. ;)

    [face_coffee] Okay, here are the pictures everyone!! I'm uploading the videos, and my lovely Dial-Up computer is not the fastest hunk-of-junk in the galaxy. But, they should be up before 10 (since I'm then leaving for work)

    Pictures from Last night

    I'm not claiming any of the slightly random pictures.

    Those pictures are great. It was a fun time & I think we may have at least One new member out of the experience.
    I only wish that we would have had a few kids in costume there.My oldest son was to come out dressed as Vader but he fell asleep and the wife could not wake him. Oh well,There is always CIV !

    Here's a quick wrap-up of the event:

    Our trivia winner was Brett (shown in this picture http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/mahilliker/r1.jpg) and won by four points.

    Our costume winner was...well the cards are actually, possibly in Sara's car, but he dressed as the Emperor's Royal Guard (this picture http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/mahilliker/r2.jpg). His favorite Movie was ESB, favorite character was Vader. I didn't stalk him, it was on the cards, and I memorize strange things.

    I think we got our name out to a lot of people, and of course had a lot of fun. Some of the pictures still cause me to laugh. Wal-Mart was unbelievably helpful. They took pictures for a bulletin board, but at this time I haven't seen one. So keep your eyes open.

    See everyone at the meeting!

    I found the cards (they were in my belt pouch) and the costume winner's name is Christan. ;) I told you I still have them. They were just under a trombone, band uniform, basketball band uniform and other random clothing.

    I enjoyed the Wal-Mart release party thouroughly. I was very reluctant to walk into Wal-Mart in costume, but it paid off with the new DVD in hand! Anyway, we could get the image of the costume contest back up? My browser says the page does not exist, and I would love for my wife to see her winning husband.
