Makira 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2011 My name is Leah Stevens. I'm from Nashville, Tn. I've always kinda known about the 501st, but never tried to join cause of your age requirement. Well this year I went to Dragon*Con and got to see a lot of the 501st marching in the parade and also in the Star Wars panels. So now I'm ready to start making my armor and join up.

Makira 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2011 Thank you Atin, I look forward to attending. Is it necessary to have your armor made before you go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atin_Miller 2 Report post Posted November 28, 2011 No, you can attend any event as a handler (a person that makes sure the armored people don't have any problems.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makira 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2011 Alright, is there a place on the forum that will tell me more about that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atin_Miller 2 Report post Posted November 28, 2011 yes, scroll down on the index page of the forum and you will see a heading for Events. There is an event this Saturday in Clarksville. We are doing Toys for Tots at Toys R us and then the Clarksville Christmas parade. I don't think all the times and stuff have been posted yet, but they should be with in the next day or so.

Hook 10 Report post Posted November 29, 2011 When you come out please don't be shy; get in there and let us know who you are. This event in Clarksville is a perfect event to meet people. Come and go as you like. You could even walk the parade and pick up costume pieces or troopers as they drop off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dune 7 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Welcome Leah, glad you found the forums. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, and hopefully we will see you at an event soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jester 37 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 Welcome. PLEASE ask plenty of questions before buying your armor kit. There are a lot of seasoned builders in the garrison that will be more than glad to give you advise, offer assistance and opinions on different kits that are available. You may also be lucky enough to get to borrow a kit for an event to get the feel of the armor. I'll kick it off with: Don't buy the AM armor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
