Troop Report: Gold Coast BIG W & Fox promo - Beanie - Sunday 21-Aug-2011
Date: 17 August 2011

Time: 1100hrs
Mission: Maintain public order during Promotional videos of Blu-Ray Starwars Movie release
Trooper Attendance:
TK Beanie
TK Phantom
TK TheWolf
TK Lestat
Guest Trooper Attendance: N/A
Support Crew: FX.Guy
Detail: I arrived after lengthy hyperspace travel from Brisbane to be meet by Phantom, FX.Guy & Lestat and well nothing much was happening as we stood around waiting for the contacts from Big W & FOX XOs to arrive, they traveled directly from Sydney and some delays had them on edge!!
we had no idea what or where we were going but noticed a large conference taking place and thought that may be where we are going to end up, so the XOs found us a room to change, it was around 1130hrs when he came in and saw us all ready and said "we now have about 30mins to go" told us the plan and left us.
we discussed the details of TKs to stand on either sides of the Projector while the other 2 walked up and down the rows to maintain order!
Time had arrived 1200hrs, Beanie walked in first into a dark room not having a clue where to go started walking around to the front followed by Lestat walking around the otherside and not able to see much ran into a few chairs and bags, followed by TheWolf and Phantom. we managed to find the sides and rows as the preview of the Blu-Ray Starwars was playing, we stood at attention!
the video played for a few minutes then the ladies from FOX begun their presentation to the managers and staff of Big W from Sydney and Brisbane Stores, explained the upcoming Blu-Ray releases, not just of Starwars but in lengthy details of Glee and other TV/Movies... this seemed to have gone on for a very very very long time.
Lestat and Beanie Standing at each side of the screen while Phantom and TheWolf marched up and down the sides, it continued on and on again..... my feet started to get numb!
after more talk about Glee and other rubbish the presentation was over and it was time to hand out the bags of gifts to the staff, we went out into the foyer and had a few photos with the crowd but it was almost 1230hrs the folks went off to eat, not really interested in us, i guess free food after 3 hours of presentation on a public holiday (most from Brisbanes Stores) was more on their minds then getting pics with us!
We went back to the change rooms, changed, the FOX manager said what a great job we did and praised our work, we preety much just left after that.

Injuries: Sore feets from standing still listening to how great Glee on Blu-Ray was...
