PANELS:

On Saturday we will put on the Meet the 501st, Amour de Armor and Dressing a Stormtrooper

SATURDAY
1 PM - MEET THE 501st - Allegheny room (501st room)
1:30 PM - AMOUR DE ARMOR - Allegheny room (501st room)
3 PM - DRESSING A STORMTROOPER - Allegheny room (501st room)

EVENTS:

ESCORTING GEEK AUCTION VICTIMS AND COSTUME CONTEST SHOWOFF
SATURDAY EVENING (time not yet given) - Main open area stage lower level

On Saturday night, the con is requesting we provide two or more Stormtroopers to escort in the Slave Auction "victims". I would like to do this as pairs of costumes if possible. Think of the scene in ESB when solo is hauled back into the cell on Bespin after his interrogation. We will be escorting each participant from off stage to on stage. Depending on the participants willingness, we will either drag them onto the stage or simply escort them. This event will be sometime after 7PM so we plan on eating dinner by 5PM.
