Oh, this sounds like fun! I think we should make a group function out of this, I'm promoting it to an "Event" though costumes are not required

Matt, as SF area captain do you want to please head up this event?

[Anasian Skywalker (Dale Tolosa)]

Now that my costume has officially been approved, I wonder if I should bring my Luke Medical Robe to this?

Well, you could wear it even if not officially approved since this isn't a formal request for costumes.

I'll probably wear one of Dale's costumes for this.

I doubt I can attend. I have too much to get done for Halloween and an entire week of my life will be put on hold since the In-law clan arrives today.

Although this wasn't an "official" RL event, I thought I'd share some details of the event:

Endor Base Attendees:

Dale Tolosa (ESB Hoth Pilot)
Matt Tolosa (Luke Skywalker)

GGG Attendees:

Ron Drinkard - ESB Fett
Ann Drinkard - handler
Derek Grant - Stormtrooper
Chris Jantze - Snowtrooper
Mitch Johnson - Vader
Keita Moriwaki - Stormtrooper
Brian Munger - Stormtrooper
Marcus Wessels - Sandtrooper
Tony Williams - Stormtrooper

Jon Peters (non-costumed)

That was a fun event! Although Dale and I "crashed" it as Rebel characters, I'm glad we did. Dale got to be in the photo booth area with Mitch and Keita, and I got to take pics and mingle with some celebs there, like Ben Burtt, LFL's Lynne Hale, Jon Farmer, TESB producer Jim Bloom, and even reality star "Marty" from Mill Valley, who is currently on Survivor: Nicaragua.

I know I was most likely going to be photographer, but I was also happy to help out my GGG brothers, expecially Mitch, who looked like he was going to pass out, as well as wrangling the guys and getting some big drinks at the concession stand (thanks, Marcus for picking up the tab!). It made my job easier too, as I had the most comfortable costume, with Dale's Luke medical robe.

So glad to stay for the Q & A and get my Sounds of Star Wars book signed. Just wish I got my other books in the mail in time. At least GGG's Jon Peters got his!

It was nice to see kids there who have never seen a live-action Star Wars film on the big screen. Dale and I were in the front row, and some kids were watching the movie lying down on the floor in front of us, making a sleepover out of it. Some were shocked by the movie's ending, with one little girl asking us, "Will the guy in the coffin (Han) die?". Two other boys asked Dale and I to sign their ESB mini-poster too!

As Dale and I were the last to leave the changing room, our contact Liann came by to make sure we got everything before we left. There were some tickets leftover for the closing night party. I wasn't sure if some of the guys forgot them or didn't want them, but Liann said there were 12 tickets, and with 10 participants from GGG... Its just a "thank you" gift for coming out to the screening.

Pics coming soon!

P.S. Our changing room at the hotel across the way was #514 - which is George Lucas' birthday! Coincidence?
