501st legion
Below you’ll find my blog posts about various 501st or Rebel Legion "trooping" events we have attended.

Redbirds Troop pics
Last night we did Star Wars night at the Memphis Redbirds’ baseball game. It was a lot of fun – more than I expected! We took pics with guests and Darth Vader threw out the opening pitch. We set up right in the middle of the opening area of the park – we posed for about an hour before heading…

Star Wars in Concert
It was awesome! When we got to the forum we hadn’t been told where to go, so we spent a while walking back and forth trying to just get in! We got in, I put on Leia (already had my hair up), and helped Ash into her X-Wing pilot and Chase into his Vader. We had an hour to stay…

Grizzlies Game Troop pics
Chase sent me the rest of the Grizz game pics, here’s a few of them! With some of the Grizz Girls… Giving high fives to Boy Scouts backstage… Going down? Chase caught the moment one of the troopers scared the elevator operator by putting his hand on her head LOL Checking out the troopers LOL With Grizz staff… Everybody on…

Chase hasn’t sent me our pics yet, but here’s a group shot from Bill. Now, I’m gonna go hem this monster of a skirt.

Snow White updates, SW Family Fun Day Pics
I’ve been working on my Snow White costume for next weekend… it’s coming along. I’ve got no decent pics to show of it, just a few iphone pics – As of last week: my shoes: and as it was yesterday morning: It’s hard to tell but I decided to take the center piece of piping out. I’m hoping to finish…

Star Wars Summer Camp Pics
My cousin is the head of a summer camp and has for the couple of years had me come out for one of their theme weeks in costume (last year did Wonder Woman for Superhero week and Belle (and Stitch) for Princess week). This year she had Star Wars week, so last week I went up as Leia to talk…

Cable Show & Photoshoot Photo dump
I know I haven’t actually updated on any sewing for a while – but that’s coming very soon I promise 🙂 Chase was asked to take part in this cable trade show for Turner networks in Washington DC, as one of several clonetroopers in their booth. I got to tag along as a handler 🙂 It was nice quick little…

box full of geekery.
My rebel legion trading cards came this week – I had no idea there would be this many! LOL. They look really good though, I’m pleased.

Hockey Game Star Wars Troop!
We spent the night at my grandparents friday night to cut an hour off our drive time saturday morning, that was super nice. So Saturday morning we got on up and headed to Nashville. We stopped by the costume store up there and picked up a different kind of bald cap than the kind I’d gotten, it was supposed to…
-
off we go
we’re heading east in just a few minutes… everything is still not done… Chase will be working on it some more tonight. I’m trusting that we’ll get everything done and at least wearable for tomorrow – I’m not taking a backup costume. wish me luck I guess :B
-
Dcon Rooms & Trooping
Dragoncon 2009 rooms booked as of 11pm last night LOL. Apparently everyone started calling at 11/midnight Atlanta time – Chase said the woman on the phone said they were swamped with calls. We are headed to Nashville this weekend – Monday we are doing some promo stuff for the hockey game our garrison is doing in November – I guess…
-
TRU toy release pics!
We spent the entire evening after work trying to finish everything up on Chase’s clone… but we did manage to get out of the house before 11, so I was proud of that! LOL. We pulled up to TRU right after 11 and there were already a few people hanging around outside. The manager let us 501st folks in (we…
-
HSO event pics!
What a great event! I’m so glad we were able to go. Chase and I got up early Saturday morning and ran some errands and then hit the road to Huntsville around 10:30-ish. We’ve gotten so used to driving to Nashville for events – and the drive to Nashville is insanely boring. 3 hours of nothing but interstate. Huntsville was…
-
Christmas Parade Pics
Well first and foremost, I am cruising on my secret project. And having fun, it’s ended up being pretty simple. I hope to have it done by this weekend, and to do a photoshoot then. Here’s some more parade pics! All of these photos were taken by Dragon. And THIS was when we managed to get way, way behind the…
-
501st Christmas Parades!
Friday night, we managed to cram 4 people and 4 costumes into the car and hit the road to Jackson, where my grandparents live. Chase was going to go see a band with my cousin that night there in Jackson, so Ash, Kevin and I curled up in the living room and watched movies. We went to bed pretty early,…
-
March of Dimes event pics!
Well first off – the hotel messed up the rooms, and the March of Dimes people came over and straightened out as best they could – we ended up with a big suite for all of us. It was pretty nice! I wish the Marriott had something like that for Dragoncon that wasn’t like, you know, $5000 a night or…
-
ZooBoo Pics
Memphis ZooBoo was LAME compared to the Nashville zoo. We basically just wandered around, got free ice cream sandwiches. Chase got some attention, a handful of photos with kids, but I might as well have been wearing normal clothes (I was in Leia, since it turned out too cold and drizzly last night for WW or Belle) We had fun…
-
Horrorfest and Nashville Zoo Trooping Pics
This week has been very hectic at work, I just finally finished editing the photos from this weekend and got them uploaded today. So we drove up to Nashville Friday night, had an awesome dinner with friends. 🙂 Saturday we got up, and I put on Belle, and Chase and I headed over to the fairgrounds for the Nashville Comic/Horror…
-
Big Scoop Troop Pics!
Big Scoop pics are up in my 2007 Trooping Gallery. I was so worn out after it, to the point we didn’t even get to go see the Simpsons movie last night like we had planned. 🙁 Here’s one pic of Chase.

Heart of an Empire premiere
This weekend was an odd mix; not sure I enjoyed the trip, but all in all I’m glad I went, since the movie was good. We set out Friday as soon as Chase got home from work — after several stops (gas, dinner, snacks, stretching legs, changing drivers, etc — you’d think it was a 9 hour drive the way…
