G'day folks,
I'm Jarred, I'm 27, from CQ and last year a good mate of mine told me about the 501st and I was interested immediately but for various reasons I've just gotten around to registering. I've adored Star Wars since I was 8 and I have Asperger's (hence my username - and I realise I'm therefore a walking a cliche), so this cause is doubly significant to me. I wouldn't feel uneasy about attending any of the events; however, I'm rather frugal and not that good with my hands, so actually making a costume myself might be hard, though I would be happy to try (and I have numerous other commitments as I'm sure you all do). I'm also 6'4, so costume ideas like Gamorrean Guards et cetera are out. Bib Fortuna or General Grievous, however, may be possible. Of course there's also Vader et al but I know how common those are and I like standing out.
Suggestions? Advice? I look forward to your replies.
Cheers,
Jarred
