RE: Supanova March 2011 - crypto - Monday 4-Apr-2011
Well done all ! What a awesome amount of $$$$ collected !!!
Myself and Tai had a great time on Sunday (he hasn't stopped playing with the lego he scored
).Huge kudos to cobra
Rick you were a star on the photobooth, must have some "carnie" in ya' blood.
RE: Supanova March 2011 - Tirilia - Monday 4-Apr-2011
Oh yeah... I just have to say a HUGE HUGE thank you to the wranglers who did a spectacular job.. Crowds are a troopers worst nightmare, when its so easy to get overwhelmed and swarmed. Its the hugest test for a wrangler to know when a mob is going to turn nasty, and read the expressions and body language of the crowd and spot trouble before it happens.
With no incidents at something as huge as SN, you guys all need to give yourselves a huge pat on the back.
... I know Id be short a few large handfuls of fur if it wasnt for Hop and Kieran (my constant bodyguards), J (my own personal scary bouncer) and Kit (with her heart stopping "NO!!" that would send a 7ft2 body builder into flashbacks of his days being scolded in kindy). Thanks guys
To the troopers too, spending heroic amounts of time in armor in the heat, hope everyone has recovered well. Ive been at home all day, reading all the comments on FB championing the 501st for everything from giving out hugs, always stopping for photos, doing crazy silly stuff for laughs, to our catchcrys to collect money in the morning. We're loved :D
GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

Hey tirilia that was me that the guy was asking about the photo. And i don't need it as i got Colin to redo the same print as he did for that guy, but with a AT - AT in the back ground. So if you want too tell him it is ok as i got the same print redone for me after he collected his copy.
Also great work guy and girls. the 3 days where pretty big, and i can't believe that the pre paid line went almost into the valley on saturday morning.

Ok, Sniffers turn. Like to thank Moxxxie, Cobra and Scorp (as well as many others) for fantastic work manning the Photo stand. Also like to thank everyone for making this a HUGE and enjoyable SupaNova! Bring on SupaNova in November!

Great weekend. I'm still in pain from spending so many hours both awake and on my feet. But still had an awesome time.
Thanks to all the wranglers especially Cobra and Scorp. Great work on running the photobooth guys.
Thanks Tirilia for letting me follow you once again so I can get in a few photos.
Speaking of which, as the photobombing jedi, I must congratulate Kev on an awesome attempt at photo bomb. Never seen you move so fast or bend so low. Was just unfortunate that the camera didn't go off.
RE: Supanova March 2011 - Trinity - Monday 4-Apr-2011

RE: Supanova March 2011 - SideshowMel - Monday 4-Apr-2011
Thanks to everyone - as far as first troops go, this was awesome, & I had the BEST time. I think I am addicted to being in armour now! And to feeling like a celebrity!
RE: Supanova March 2011 - Jimcricket - Monday 4-Apr-2011
have to say this is my first supanova with the redbacks and it was awsome. was great fun walking the lines, the amount of ppl asking for photos was intense.
it was this time last year i met you guys at supanova and jumped on the fourms. dam glad i did.
big thanks to The Wolf for wrangleing for me both days on the lines. also for keeping me out of traffic :P. Rick and Moxxie brilliant work at the stand. i was only on the booth a few hours on sunday and it was full on.
great work troopers can't wait for the next one.

I wrangled for beanie in his stints in cyberman on both sat and sunday, and the response to him was especially good. I counted we spend 50 mins on sunday in the one spot with people wanting pics with him. I had to start forming a line for them.
With the proven popularity of our photo booth this year, the inclusion of him next year in some way whether it be 2 wranglers with change tins running back and forth would really help our total.
I know it isn't a 501st costume but any inclusion should help out toal, im sure of it.

It was wonderful to see so many people pulling together and each contributing in their own way to make it such and awesome weekend.
Well done to everyone that attended and put in the effort.
RE: Supanova March 2011 - Deimos - Tuesday 5-Apr-2011
