My friend Paul Nelson is a photographer and runs portrait workshops out of the Hunts Photo & Video in Waltham MA. The education team are huge Star Wars fans and would love to have us as models for the portrait workshop on may the 4th! It's unpaid but they would provide us with free photos we can use for social media.
Have a new costume that needs photos done! Join us!

Comments: Mystic Aquarium and its visitors love Star Wars! We have a brand new courtyard that will make it a very accessible place to entertain. Our newest exhibition Dino Seas will be great for photo ops. My goal is to theme the day with Star Wars happenings, including facepainting, music and more. We expect 3-4000 people as it is a Saturday and a great day to make the most of an appearance like this. I'm going to see if they'll let me hide porgs in the rocks. I have all kinds of ideas. Helps that I'm a big fan. also I'll have to double check on the blasters, it might be possible if they remain holstered. Referred by: My sister Joann has done work with the 501st, and her boyfriend is a member. I also used to see you attend in the old days at ConnectiCo DETAILS!!! HI MYSTIC CREW!! I have added the intital details for call time and our changing area. I will be the POC for the day for the event. The event starts at 10AM and there will be a rotating schedule of locations for characters to station. These locations will be adjusted for weather.
Please arrive between 9AM-10AM and wait at the front gate for someone (likely me or our host Keith) to lead you to the break room.
Locations are required to reduce issues with accessibility and bottlenecking by visitors so we will be spread across the aquarium.
There will be a conference room (with bathroom) reserved for non-private changing and food breaks. We will chat between 9-10AM on May 4 about how to maintain access to that conference room. Please have your ID ready to present at the gate as I have added everyone to the security list who has signed up on the forum.

Comments: This is our long waited for wedding. My fiance has spent much of his life focusing on serving others and now it is time to celebrate our lives and our happiness together. We have chosen May the Fourth for the obvious reasons of being huge Star Wars fans. It was our first wish to have members of the 501st join us in celebrating our wedding. Paul, my fiance, received notice that since it’s a popular day for you, there are not any members available. I know that there will be members very nearby at an event in Bristol CT that day and am hoping/praying that together we can make his wish come true! I am hoping for any time at all, even just a quick appearance at any time during our event!! We are also happy to make a charitable donation to help those in need. Please reach out with any information on how to make this happen! Thank you so very much!! Referred by: Big fans!!

Hosting a get together at my house after the Mystic Aquarium troop. I live 5min away. Stop in for some food after the event. All are welcome, if you aren’t going to the troop still feel free to drop by. Hang out as short/long as you want, enjoy food and treats from some local joints.
Plenty of street parking available. Hope to see some of you there!
