Detail:
We all met at the church promptly and 10am'ish' so that was great. The weather was perfect, temp was perfect. I tell ya, these troops are getting easier. Things with the COF seem to be better organised every year and so are we. We only had to be on the line at 11.20 but we had time to cruise down and get all the cheers and photos pics BEFORE we even start and thats always good. They put us near the front this year! Nice.
The walk went without incident and I think the new guys were blown away by how many people actually turn up to these things. They said 100,000+ last year. I think it was about the same but Jac said she thought there was more. In any case....its alot of people.
The biggest hot fomr my point of view was the Jawa's. The great costumes done by Melissa were a real hit and stole the show!
The DJ's, per usual, stuffed up the thing they are supposed to say about the 501st. Bar 2 actually getting through the whole thing, the others just couldn't have been bothered. A couple really got into it, forgetting the script and add libbing how good star wars was "who likes stormtroopers?" getting the crowd going which was really good!
I'll follow this up though as I always get a "feedback" e-mail after these events.
After the walk back to the church, a pub lunch followed and all troopers were happy. An amazing day and a big thanks to all the troopers coming up to support a Tbar event. 3 Phase has now joined us so we now have a total of 6, with hopefully Hamish from CFM and Peter from ABC radio hopefully joining us in the next 12 months. Thank you all!
