Looks like the Ultrasabers guys might not make it since they are slammed with the Christmas rush.
man i was gonna buy that double sunriders from them that i asked them to bring. after all as a soon to be ordained Jedi Minister, i can't be usin a toy anymore. i mainly use the toys so my kids don't feel gyped if i got an ultrasaber and they didn't cause lets face it to buy 3 at once.... ouchie. hmmm mabey a tax deductable charatable donation??? lol just kiddin everyone.
o ya i got some battery operated strings of xmas lights (bright led's) one is white and 4 are colored. we are using 3 of the colored ones to hang aournd our necks, and the clear one can be used either on the banner if the rope light isnt enough or on the poster you made Dustin. that leaves one set of colored lights for someone to wear if they want.
cant wait... we gonna be on tv? maybe news or something?? need lots of light on the banner and poster if thats the case WOOT!!!

I can definetly use the light on the poster, but I hate to say it, but light hanging around our necks might make us look kinda....un-starwars-ish. But thats my opinion. I know alot of others like the roller derby girls are doing the same thing, and I was hoping we would not go that route to avoid being confused with anyone else. After all no one is expecting Jedi and star wars in this parade, and a christmas lighted Jedi might be confusing.
Damian, mind if some meembers use some of you MR sabers since you have the most, if not thats understandable, we all know they are not toys. Also, if someone neeeds a saber they can carry vaders, he looks cool enough to go without.

It will be live on TV
Access Tucson’s production truck will be set up in our parking lot, in order to bring the parade live to Tucsonans. Join us, on site, Saturday, December 9th from 6-9pm and watch the parade go by. If you can’t make it, watch the action on Access Tucson channels Cox 99 and Comcast 74.

Yes I can anyone who has a MR lend someone in costume who does not have one. I have a green ROTJ Luke I have offered to BYlar. Preferrably, Id like to avoid the toys so we can dazzle the crowd. Please lend a saber just for the event! Especially those with at least two or more.
On a cool side note, I went into batteries Plus to price out an adapter and battery pack for the lighted banner, and it woul dcost around 100! But after talking tot he manager (who happened to be helping me) Ray, he offered to donate everything! I didnt ask or solicit him either! He is also putting it together himself to be picked up tomorrow!
Also do we want to have a radio strapped to the back of the banner for music?
 I have Some MR sabers I can lend out.
Ep.3 Anakin/Vader MR(blue), Ep.V Vader MR(red), and EP.3 Mace MR(purple).
Just remember "break it U buy it". 
Very cool @ the banner.
Thanks Damian! I just read this, so disregard my asking.
Eh, I am not that familiar with downtown anyone have a meeting place suggestion? we should meet somewhere to gear up as much as possible and then go to the staging area

Long as we remember we are doing this event to have fun, last year the organizers of the event passed out extra light lapel pins to the people in the parade to wear to make it even brighter. In any event we will have fun and enjoy ourselves.

Anyone have a Hard Disc recorder or VHS deck and cable that can tape the event?

I think it would be great if some of you were nicely wrapped in Christmas lights. The point of a light parade is to have a much light as possible. Most groups wrap themselves in lights for the Chandler parade and it just makes you look more festive. So, while UltraSabers are very bright, I think wearing a strand of lights would be a great, too.

do you mean VHS at home.. yes.. Jake and I can tape it from home. As for taping it as we walk... the best we can do is to digitally video it with the camera. Not sure how big it would turn out, the camera is 4mp.

My saber is still unpresent and unaccounted for up at UltraSabers, so Im gonna need to borrow a red saber.
If you get a free split second could you check that for me Frankie? I understand you probably don't even have enough time on your hands to even breathe, but if at all possible, I would like to know about my saber. I haven't paid for it yet, I don't know how much its gonna cost for the upgrade. Ive PM'd and E-mailed my info to you a while ago, let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!

Good news per Frank! Ultratodd is coming down to march with us and bringing some loaners! Please be gentle with them and realize they are loaners, and he WILL get everyone one of them back intact.
As far as the double bladed sunriders destiny Steve, sounds like that is a special order they would nt fill unless paid for, so dont be crushed when it doesnt come!
As far as the lights on our persons, I know it is a light parade, but the streetside is not totally dark, some streetlights will be on, so we wont need to find a way to illuminate ourselves to be recognized, but this year the focus is to get our name out, be recognizibale, and participate in a unique Tucson event. I personally dont think Christmas light wrapped Jedi would be understandable to most. I personally dont like the idea and think it would look weird, but that is just my opinion. And Steve, yours, and yuor kids' Jedi costumes are among th ebest Ive seen , and I wouldnt cover them if I were you! Plus Ultrasabers is bringing extra sabers, so you would be able to carry two!
My father cant come unfortunatly, so Mike, Ill lend you his saber, but please take better care of it than my boots!
Ok, lets all meet at Armory park (refer to the map above and the parking map) we are going to have to change in the restrooms OF THE SENIOR CENTER and walk to our staging area (just a couple of streets away). Jedi and those that can arrive in costume can go on ahead and go directly to the staging area. AT THE STAGIN AREA LOOK FOR THE TUCSON POLICE EXPLORERS. teens in light blue police shirts. they will direct us into our spot, we are the 5th entry on 14th st.
Can I drop off the banner and sign with someone who can take it to the staging area?
Parking is going to be tough, get there early if possible. There MAY be parking fees, Im not sure. Im not going to recommend a specific parking place, just study the map and try to get there, this draw ALOT of people.
For those coming in from out of town, Id recommend taking Speedway from I-10 and go east, then take 5th Ave. south. Avoid taking Congress since it will be blocked off and congested.
leave early to get there on time, we dont start walking until 6, check in is 4:30

About what time will everyone be at the park? We'll probably be up there very early anyway. I'm calling Frank in the morning around 9ish. We're just gonna spend the day up there.
