Please take a look at your calendars ASAP and respond with your availability. I am going to edit this post to provide voting tabs at the top of the first post to keep track of attendees. Danny please start adding these when you post events on the forums for accountability. I know this is still a ways out, but we want to try and not wait until the last minute to provide a response back to the requestor so they can plan accordingly. Thanks for your continued trooping support!!!!

Please use the voting buttons at the top when posting responses to this thread.

Danny, I've listed myself as a maybe. I've already committed to 501st trooping on Apr. 26th March of Dimes and PKU Walk/Galacticon on May 9th.

A May 2nd troop would really be pushing it, but I'll see. If anything, I would have to drag my daughter along if my wife can't watch her.

Can you ask the client the times for appearance?

thanks! Smile

Listing myself as a maybe right now, have to wait for May to get closer to be certain

I've gone ahead and put myself down as definite. I'm sure I can rally some other 501st folks to attend.

Things are looking stronger for me bein able to make this,

The big plus side is this is an open weekend for me cause its at the end of a school term, so I won't have anything breathing down my neck school wise.

I should know for certain in another week or two.

It was a light, quick troop. Great trooping with Rick and John. Glad Mark and Dillon were able to come out too.

Here are some photos below; rest can be seen here:

here are the pics from my camera:

Also after departing from the Chesapeake one I went straight to Yorktown to be with a few other GT members and then stuck around with the vader to do a Denbigh store yet as well.

Pics from the Yorktown one: (didn't manage to get denbigh pics)

Now this little girl got to give kudos to her, she threw a fit in the car to make her parents stop to come take pictures with us, way to give orders kiddo! Laughing
