This year we have been re-invited to take a table at Terrificon, one of the biggest comic book conventions in Connecticut. We'll have a chance to mingle with other costumers, promote the 501st, and have fun! We will also be doing another helmet raffle for charity this, thanks to Walt's Trooper Factory. I'm also looking in the feasibility of getting autographs and appearances with the Star Wars guests at the convention - Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian and honorary 501st member), Paul Gulacy (author of the comic series "Crimson Empire"), and Greg Hildebrandt (legendary Star Wars author/illustrator). Info below is copied from last year.

I suggest you change in the changing room and then bring your bin over to our area for safekeeping.

We will be running a raffle of a Stormtrooper Commander helmet, kindly donated by @rottie??and assembled/painted by @First0rder. A truly beautiful job! Tickets will be $5 and all proceeds go to the Connecticut Children's Medical Center.

Additionally, I have been successful in??nominating??the comic book art Paul Gulacy (best known in Star Wars for as the artist for the series "Crimson Empire", probably my favourite SW comic) as a Honorary Member of the 501st. I have a plaque and some stuff to give him over the weekend - still working out exactly when he'll be free for the presentation. We need a group photo!
