Lauren and I will be in Blue and Green togas. Last year we saw several peeps in SW bed sheet ones. There is also a guy in the 501st who makes the SW bed sheets into nice button down shirts.

You guys will have to party without us at DCon this year. We are having to replace our ENTIRE A/C unit in my home. This will take all our extra funds for a while.
I want plenty of pics !

The women of Grand Moff Tarkin at Dragon Con!
I was told the Band Grand Moff Tarkin will not be playing again anytime soon, but the girls will be at Dragon Con. That's great considering this is a mostly male dominated hobby. I can't wait to see the gals. Perhaps they will dance like they do on stage!

Following the parade on Saturday, Mercs and TDH will be sponsoring a group photo for all custom and canon Mandalorians. Now, whats special about this photo is that it will be sent to non other then Karen Traviss herself. She knows that this is happening, so we would like to give everyone who wants to be in it a chance to get in.
The pictures will be taken on Saturday after the parade (Since everyone is in armor.) around 11/12ish. We will have a sign-up sheet on the TDH table Friday for those of you who are interested so we know how many to expect.
See you all at DragonCon! |

>
> Please follow the instructions and/or directions from

> Marriott front entrance on Peachtree Center Avenue.
> (Map attached as PDF file)
>
> Disband: The renovations at the Marriott necessitated
> a few changes to our route, including where we end the

> 2. Show up on time and be patient during
> staging/line-up.
> 3. Prepare yourself for the weather (bring along

> 4. No costume is no costume! Remember the parade is

> projectiles, please!
> 6. No flash pots, explosive devices, fireworks or
> loaded devices of any kind. Absolutely not allowed,

> 7. Non-working or prop weapons (part of your costume)

Well sadly, D*Con is over for 2007. It was a great time, I now the boyz had an awesome time and I look forward to hearing thier stories as we were all over the place.
As for me, saw friends from past cons and meet new ones, even meet the trooper who was here before me who is also in the military and was trying to get a squad going in LA, but got shipped out overseas before either happened. (Hi Robert if you're reading this aka DarthVader1) I also worked the 501st table for a total of 6 hours and had another wonderful time doing so, gave away tons of MG beads. I got in on the 501st pic (Where's in the pic is TK-0398?), almost just barely though, and walked the parade. I didn't get any autographes, put did see a few stars. The 501st mixer was kewl, the Georgia Garrison bought shots and it got wild. I volenteered and escorted Mr. Allston and Mr. Stackpole to the Cantina Ball and was event a "scavenger hunt item" as the Scotish / Kilted trooper that no one found and I was all over the con. Also did some decent patch trading and got a few new 501st cards from my trading buddies and from meeting new troopers. Didn't really buy a whole lot, but pics to come of what I did bring home. I even played wrangler for Gary, Jhon and Dave, who I know, had a great time being in armor taking pics on Friday night. We saw some awesome costumes!
All and all, another great Dragon Con. Hopefully for 2008, BAS will repersent even more than this year. Lauren and I are already thinking of ideas and making a game plan.
D*Con 06 - BAS 1
D*Con 07 - BAS 4
D*Con 08 - BAS ?
