I can fill Ray's spot if you want another Kylo.??
Sure! We might be pushing it with a numbers a little bit, but we can always rotate people hanging around the main area and going for walkabouts around the wards. Please make sure you bring with you a copy of the Confidentiality Agreement Joan posted earlier.??Both you and @carcouette??are good to come.

I'm reluctant to start any earlier because we've already agreed that timeslot with the hospital, and it being a Friday afternoon means everyone else has already planned their day around this.??Sorry mate. I do??promise though that??we'll start as close as possible to 1:15/1:30 and you're free to head out when you need to.

Good morning everyone,
??I hope this finds you all well. Let me start by thanking you for joining us for this year???s SPACE EXPO! We???re thrilled to have the 501st??Legion CT Garrison and the R2D2 Builders Club of CT join us again this year, as you all have proven to be the highlight of this event in the past. This update contains important logistical information so please read the entire email, share it with other colleagues who are joining you next weekend, and contact me with any questions. This update also contains the following attachments:
1.??????????Driving Directions to the New England Air Museum
2.??????????SPACE EXPO Event Activity Listing
3.??????????SPACE EXPO Flight Event Floor Plan
Arrival/Parking/Check-in:
The New England Air Museum is located at 36 Perimeter Road in Windsor Locks, CT. Please follow the attached driving directions (not your GPS), else you may end up at the arrivals terminal at Bradley International Airport! When you pull into our parking lot, please proceed through the open gate located on the right side of the building as marked on the Event Floor Plan. Museum staff will be on hand to guide you to exhibitor parking areas behind the Civil Aviation Hangar. This entrance gate will close promptly at??9:15am.
All group members must check-in with museum staff at the designated check-in location between??8:00-9:15am.This location is indicated on the Event Floor Plan. You will be given a green wristband to wear throughout the event which will notify our staff that you are a member of the 501st/R2D2 Club and therefore have access to our staff/volunteer break room. If you have colleagues who cannot arrive within this designated check-in time frame and you have not already provided me with their names, please email me by??10:00am??on Thursday April 5th??to add their names to our exhibitor late arrival list. Otherwise, they will be forced to pay admission upon their arrival to the museum. Exhibitors arriving later than??9:15am??will need to park in our main parking lot, enter through the main lobby, and check-in at the admissions desk to receive their wristband before heading into the event.
Break Room/Lunches:
Your groups will have access to our staff/volunteer break area located in the B-29 Hangar for the duration of the event. You???re welcome to store costumes, trunks, etc. in this space. Please help yourself to the buffet breakfast treats and lunch you find there. Additional food and beverage will also be available for purchase at our Kane???s Market Food Court on a cash only basis between??11:00am-3:00pm.
Appearance Schedule:
We have assigned a NEAM staff member to be your escort/crowd wrangler for the day, so she will be with you for the duration of the event. Your appearance times in the Military Hangar will be as follows:??10:30am-12:30pm??and??1:30-3:30pm.??You will be free to leave after your last appearance time ends, or you???re welcome to enjoy the event as visitors???if you???re not too exhausted!
??
Final directions for the Air Museum. I'm also attaching to this post directions to the museum (it's a bit tricky to get to if you don't know exactly where to go), a floor plan showing where we will be,??and the activities list for the day. Looking forward to seeing you all!
@Depeche25??You may have to pay admission if you're coming in late - I'll talk with my contact tomorrow about it.??To everyone else - although I have already given a final list of our members participating to them, please feel free to still attend if you'd like. If you arrive during the 8:00-9:15AM window and are having trouble parking/getting admission as 501st, please call me at (860) 986-0338 and I'll sort it out. Please do not automatically expect free admission or easy parking if you cannot arrive during that window.

I'd definitely recommend getting a room if you're gonna be there multiple days. Hopefully this year I won't be hospitalised and miss the first day.

'Hello everyone! I'm Christopher Bailey, id TK-66402. I am one of Sarah's Event Coordinators and the Garrison's Charity Representative. I joined the CTG in 2016 because my wife dragged me into this hobby and it has gotten massively out of control. I am still trying to figure out what happened and where all my weekends went. I'm generally an okay guy. I look forward to dressing up and looking weird??with you all soon!'G'day mates,
My name is Christopher and I will be one-half of your Event Coordination team for the 2018-2019 term. Joan and I are responsible for managing the day-to-day requests we receive from the general public, arranging some of our special events during the year, and being the go-to people for questions about event logistics. As LucasFilm's "preferred Imperial costuming group"??in the state??we also have to be very careful about how we act and how we portray??Star Wars intellectual property, so another large part of our job is to make sure we and our event hosts comply with LFL and Legion guidelines. If you have an idea or request for a potential event please let Joan or I??know and we will see what can be done.
I also function as the Charity Representative for the Garrison, which honestly doesn't have a great deal in the way of responsibilities, but means I keep records of the money we raise for charitable causes and act of point-of-contact for the non-profits we support.
You can usually identify me by the funny accent and my shiny ANH TK costume. I also enjoy long walks in the woods??and collecting pressed pennies. I hope you are having an excellent week.??
