Re: Southern Illinois gal starting a Jawa for Approval

Utinni! :thumbs:

For uploading them here, your best bet would be to upload them to a photo hosting site like Photobucket or Flickr and then use the code before and after the link to make them visible. Fingers crossed for a new Denizen of the Empire! :D

Autism Speaks Reception - Dec 10, 2013

On December 10th, Autism Speaks invited the Midwest Garrison to join them for their annual night of recognition. This year was a more casual affair than in the past, held at the Royal George Theater in Lincoln Park. But no matter the setting, the night is a way for Autism Speaks to say "Thank you" t...

Chicago's 2013 Thanksgiving Day Parade

I want to thank everyone who came out and to help the MWG and NSB make a great showing in the Chicago McDonald's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year. Lord Vader, his minions, and our Rebellious opposition were a big hit with the crowds who braved the frigid temperature to see us march, and I think we ...

Re: Inbound member!

Hey Phil! Years' end is coming up soon. When are you making the big move? And where in the Chicago area are you ending up? Regardless, I'm sure there will be troopers near you. North, south, west, farther west, city, suburbs... the Empire is ALL OVER Chicagoland. Looking forward to having you join t...

Re: Characters that are 5 foot - 5 foot 3 inches

There are actually jawas in ANH that are around your height. Watch the scene where Owen is looking over the droids for sale. They are tall for what people think of when they think of jawas, but it is right there. Also, there is no set standard in the films for the height of TIE Pilots, Gunners, Offi...

Re: IL- Bartlett/60103-Tusken gathering Photoshoot- Sat 10/2

Agreed. In the shot that went across the ridges, I was in the second row or so, and saw a couple DZ's lounging up front. I kept asking if we were supposed to look menacing, and the photographers were saying "Yeah!" but at the same time, the subjects closest to the camera were basking in the sun casu...

Congratulations, Eric!
Since your application was just awaiting a stamp of approval yesterday morning, I think it's cool to start your ToD with yesterday's MSABC. :)
Hope to see you trooping again soon!

Re: Welcome BH 82371

Welcome aboard, Shan! Great looking costume, and a very impressive work!
We met at Wizard World, but I didn't realize until later that you were an aspiring new recruit - I just thought you were visiting from another garrison!
So glad to have you with the MWG and the 501st! :D
