Right now it's not looking too good that I can get off of work. Stupid retail job.

Dragon*Con was a blast! The parade went smoothly and all had a good time. Only hitch was the 'younglings' behind me were just too cute and kept getting held up for photos! The kids and the 501st were trailing a block behind us by the end of the parade... So far this is the only photo I've turned up, but I'm sure there's more out there.

Oh, cool! Hey, if you want to make a statement about it to the group e-mail list, that would rock. Lots of people on the e-mail list seem to have some kind of Forum Aversion. *shrug*

We should be there next year. Is there any problem with being in costume (501st) while driving a road squadron car?

Well, if there's any problem, it's between you and your armor. The parade organizers didn't seem to mind one way or the other what was worn in the vehicle, so long as everybody was signed up ahead of time. I drove in my A-Wing gear so I could park the car and hustle over to the Rebel Legion photo.
As soon as I figure out how best to use my time, I'll try to get more details out there.

Sweet- I'd love to see some pics of just your pilot's uniform, as I did an A-Wing as well. Wish I could 've made the trip... Glad you were there to represent.

Well, there wasn't a mini 'auto show' last year, but I did participate in the parade. Likely the same this year. Don't know if anyone else has decided to attend yet, but overall Star Wars presence tends to be better when people aren't reeling from a Celebration. It's still a ways off, so there's time for upgrades.
Of course, there's lots happening until then - I'll be driving to MegaCon and MetroCon at the very least.

the interior of the Mirage is in the hanger undergoing the upgrade. If we go and it's still iffy, I'll bring the Mirage.

Did the D*C parade again this year, though it'll probably end up being the last time for the A-Wing. The car finally turned to the dark side and stalled - about 2/3ds of the way through the route. I did get it started again, amidst some less-than-supportive roadside dialogue. I drove the rest of the route with feet on both pedals, but the trip home was significantly less eventful.
