Unlocking Autism

Troop #28

A newer member (Jim aka HKiller) did this troop alone in Springhill. It would have been a good fundraiser had any more than two of our nearly 150 members in the state of Florida come out for it. Oh...that's right, Saturday was too important to do charity; there was a convention drink fest planned instead.

Oh, and Jim forgot his helmet for his TK. So we winged it: he was now Han in the trash compactor for the event.

Star Wars Extravaganza

Troop #22

CDR Thire (Geoff) is a member of the local 501st Legion -Tampa Bay Squad. He is a very kind person who has a big heart and show this by hosting an annual get together for us Star Wars at his home. At this event there are raffles, Star Wars themed foods, and best costume contests. Of course, this is our one chance to make fun of ourselves in a way. So our costumes can be serious, not so serious, and absolutely pun-based. All the money raised through the raffles goes towards Autism Awareness. So not only do we get to be nerds (shocking) but it benefits others.

We had some misidentified Wampas, Fem TIE's (bleh), George Lucas imposters, Han in carbonite, kilted Storm Troopers, and more. It was a great night! Torment (Jason) and I have an exceptionally awesome idea for a costume for next year. Brace for epic.
