New Guy Here in Kansas City, MO

Hello everybody! I'm brand new to the forum! I am moving to Kansas City, Missouri this Tuesday! (September 19th) I'll be moving there from Denver, Colorado. So I wanted to get a little head start here by introducing myself and saying I really want to join the Rebel Legion. Several years back I had a great Anakin costume (My avatar is me in my old costume). Of course it wasn't up to Legion standards. Now I want to try again, I've felt inspired by my upcoming move. I want to reach out and meet new people and make new friends while doing something active with my life. Since I love Star Wars I decided I want to try to join the Legion. So I'm working on a brand new Anakin Skywalker Episode III costume. I want to make sure I get it right! And I am also wondering if there is anyone out there who lives in the KC area? I'm also nervous about starting over in a new city. Which is another reason I am also reaching out.

Welcome Scott, I moved to Berryton from CO three years ago. I'm CO of our clone battalion, so I would love to see an Anakin join us. We have a bunch of members in the KC area, with armor party's every now and then. When ever I have one again I'll send you a invite. Look forward to meeting you.

Oh thank you for that! I really appreciate that! I may or may not have my costume fully ready by the next invite, but even if it's not I would like to meet you and the guys. I'm pretty serious about joining the Legion so you won't have to worry about me flaking out lol. In fact I just placed an order for some Anakin boots from the renowned JDos Props. They seem to be the only boot maker that is recommended by the Legion. Unfortunately I was told my boots would not be ready for about 4 months.

Thank you very much! Yeah, it's not easy starting over, especially since I lived the majority of my life in Denver. Haha. Anyway, I've never been a member of the Legion before. When my costume is ready do I just follow the application process instructions as detailed on the website? I did order some boots from JDos props, but they won't be ready for about 4 months. Do I just wait for my entire costume to be ready before I submit my application? And of course if I have questions about any parts of my costume I can always ask on here right? Thank you kindly and I look forward to making some new friends here!

There's a great community in KC and tons of events, so I'm sure you'll have no problem making new friends and finding help locally. But if you do need to ask costume questions on the forum your best bet is to ask in the actual forum pertaining to your specific costume rather than in here, you're likely to get feedback from others with the same costume and even judges.
And keep in mind you don't have to have an approved costume to start getting involved in local troops, you can help at many as a handler, etc.

I am very glad to hear that there is a great community here in the KC community. And yes! Even though I am still working on putting together my costume, I'd still love to meet up with the guys and girls here in the community, help out, and make some new friends in the process. Since I'm totally new here, can anyone tell me when the next event is where I can meet up with some people, or what I should do? Thank you everyone here for all the help and support!
