I'm up to do??all the shifts and setup/breakdown. It's probably going to be a long 3 days but some additional publicity for the Garrison will be sweet.

[Wildcardz]

I can do Saturday Shift 2 and Shift 3.

As of right now, not sure about Saturday 1st Shift and Sunday's shift. I have to try on those.

Put me down for every shift and I'll pare it down as necessary closer to the event.

Hard pass. Not giving any money or support to a con that screwed over someone who supported us.

That's all well and good;??but please keep any of that ancient drama out of the signup thread.

Feel free to split discussion of event choices into another thread in a discussion forum, such as the 501st Discussion Subforum or the Active Member subforum.

[Astraline]

put me down for all shifts.?? i'll do some turn as my officer and then maybe we can do demonstration with my armor in progress.?? i'll be sure to have an undersuit!! LOL

[Feliz]

I apologize. With Saturday I meant the 10-1 shift and 4-7 shift. Back to back in costume will kill me.... I???d be bantha fodder??

I'm assured we have as many passes as we needed, so as long as ya give one of the event coordinators a heads up of what day you'll be around by at least the previous weekend you should be fine.

[Madxena]

I work until 3 on Friday so I won???t be able??to help set up this one. Sign me up for Friday 6 to 9

Saturday 10 to 1 and 4 to 7. I will do the same as before go get something to eat, look around a bit then come back for 4.??

Sunday 10 to 2 and 2 until??we pack it up.??

??

[Wildcardz]

Please add me also to Sunday 1st Shift can only go up to noon.

any help sunday would be awesome

[Backpacks Got Jets]

Kristin just had to schedule surgery and Terifficon lands squarely in her early recovery period so my participation is going to be up in the air for the moment.

??

I want to ask if any members could stay or come out for break down to help out the last shift it would be incredibly helpful even if you're not trooping it.??

??

Will update on my situation closer to the con.

[cheesewhoopy]

I???ll have to double check my schedule, but I???d like to come to this con and troop with you guys! I haven???t made it to a CT troop yet so this would be a??fun one.

If I can make it, does anyone know how hot the convention gets? I???d like to troop my First Order snow trooper if it???s not crazy hot, but otherwise I can go with my scout trooper.??
