Introduction and information request

[Silwar ()]

Hello all,
I am in the KC, MO area and new to making my own costumes. Wanted to introduce myself to the base and ask a few questions I wasn't able to find answering to in previous posts i scanned through.

Anything I should do beside the introduction and questions?

Are there any local meet and greet like events planned in the near future?

I saw a post about creating the personal and character signatures however the forum posting no longer exists. Is that still possible?

Hi Silwar,

Welcome, hope we can get all your questions answered.

There isn't much in the way of formal introductions. The biggest thing is to get a costume completed and approved for membership.

There are some local gathering, we usually call them Armor Parties that people get together for build and repair of costumes. There aren't any regularly scheduled in Kansas City at this time, but they do pop up here and there.

I would highly recommend getting into the KC area facebook group to see what all may be going on. This is typically where you will find out when/where they will be. You can also reach out to the locals to get assistance as you need it.

Another way to get involved and get to know people would be volunteering to be a handler at events. This gives you a chance to not just meet people, but learn more on the costumes you see and how they work/fit/etc. We can always use another hand getting suited up and definitely now that summer weather is here to help make sure no one gets overheated.

KC is a very active area with typically multiple events in a week so you shouldn't have any problem finding something to attend.

I do believe the member doing the signature banners is no longer around, but there may be others that could help with it.

What is the name of the Kansas City Rebel Legion Facebook group? I'm guessing it's separate from the Dantoone Base page? Thanks!
