Cincin, OH Star Wars Costuming: Who's into it?

Oh, that is just sooo wrong. Where are we? Why am I hearing the famous song from Deliverance playing in the background?

It's great to hear about your dad doing so well, Ludo!

 

We just like to keep it in the family...

 

Hey everyone name's James and I am a "cadet"(whihc means I'm only 17 and can't offically join but my brother is a ful member and I tag along with him) in the Ohio Garrison of the 501st Legion. I am a proud owner and wearer of Stormtrooper Armor.

I was recently at Mid-Ohio con and two guys told me that I had to sign up on the boards and check out the Cincinati FanForce, so here I am.

 

Cool! Welcome! We don't have any sort of age requirements here, so you are most welcome to come to any and all meetings! Your brother is more than welcome to get involved as well.

Great job recruiting Neil and Brandyn!

 

I will be joining the 501st once I am a 100% happy with my Jango outfit

 

Come on Ludo, you know you are like George Lucas with his movies! You are never going to be 100% happy! Really though your Jango is Awesome! I wish I had the time and money to put into my Boba Fett that you put into your Jango.

 

You are right, I'll join when I'll be 98% happy with it!!

 

I knew it! LOL!

 

98.5?

 

You could join w/o it being "complete" you know....

 

I'm a freak, I won't join if it's not good enough for me

 

Ha, I remember him! Glad you decided to heed our advice James, I'm sure you'll have a great time here

oh, and the whole Amy Allen thing: priceless, I only wished I had thought of it myself

 

Hey James,

Welcome to the group. I am Neil and I was one of the guys you saw at the mid ohio comic con. Post as much as you want, and come to our meetings. As our great and wise city rep said, we have no age limit for this group.

Brandyn, we all know you were speechless when you meet Amy Allen, but that story I will save for bowling.

 

For clarification I was the Stormtrooper who proposed to Amy Allen. Long story short it was mainly a joke and for a free lunch.

 

so, what did she say?

 

Come on guys, Amy really isn't all that!

 

Amy really isn't all that!
Ludo...I think your Jango helmet is fogged up, she's all that and a box of lightsabers!

TK-P01, welcome to the boards! I may have spoken with you?...I was the guy in the brown leather jacket and The Jedi Knights of Cleveland t-shirt. So are there pictures of you proposing to Cleveland's HONORARY JEDI MASTER? I'd love to hear the whole story (via Private message)

 

My drk-lady will make a much better Aayla!

 

I was less than impressed when I met her at CII... She's okay, but isn't really anything more than "another" blonde, seriously... and I have to agree, I think Amber will m,ake a great Ayla.

 

Yeah, Amber would be a better Aalya than Amy!

Ludo...I think your Jango helmet is fogged up, she's all that and a box of lightsabers! ...No... actually Ludo is thinking very straight. No one is "all that" to him except his beautiful and intelligent wife!!

 

Hey James, in case you're wondering who is who of the guys you met, I'm the good looking one


Neil, yes, I was shy when we met Amy the first time, but I'm naturally shy, I cant help it

 

Neil, you should have picked up Brandyn's jaw and wiped the drool from his chin for him before you actually got to meet her.

 

I thought she was very attarctive and also very intelligent when I talked to her.

Basically it boiled down to the fact that our table was a crossed hallway Amy Allen?s table. So on Sunday my one friend in the Ohio Garrison Marshall managed to coerce me into thinking it would be a good idea to make an idiot out of myself and propose to her. Te others guys also decided it would be funny to see this and helped talk me into it. They provided and out and promised they?d drag me out of the room so I didn?t make to big a fool out of myself.

I made a ring out an Ohio garrison business card. I was assigned escort duty to their pane and when they got to their table and that?s when I did it. Do you know how hard it is to get down on one knee I armor?

Anywho she kept the ring but I was pulled out before I got to se her full reaction. Were any of you there to se what happened after I was ?escorted? out of the room?

No pictures yet, we?ll have to wait until my brother uploads his pic off the digital camera to the webmaster of the garrison website.

 

That's pretty funny!
I know the problem of even trying to move in an armor, what a pain!!
About Amy, we must have met 2 very different people, I thought she wasn't very bright... Now if you have (or had) the oppotunity to have talks with other SW actors, some are a real pleasure to talk to and really have culture (I really enjoyed talks with R. LeParmentier, Jeremy Bullock, Femi Taylor, Michael Sheard, and especially the late Declan Mullholland, who invited us to have a few beers after a convention in '98, he was a really sweet guy ). But hey, again, it's only my opinion (and my dad's, and of my friend Bruno... who still thought she was cute).
Do you have any other cotume than a stormtrooper armor?

 

James,

I must say that the proposal was awesome. You have guts man. Just remember to invite us to the wedding.

Ludo,

Amy Allen was cool. Intelligence aside, she had a good personality and was easy to talk with.

Everyone,

While we were at the convention Brandyn meet this nice fifty year old woman who had all of these autographs. She was a crazy drunk, but Brandyn loved how she kept tapping his arm as the whine in her voice zoned in and out. I think he had a crush on her.
