I am systematically going through all the completed events for 2015, making sure I haven't missed any charitable donations, etc. (I have found a few!) However, one thing that I am noticing is there are some events (from low-key private events to high profile sports events) that state that the event ...

Re: Writing a paper, request for information.

I will be announcing this week the total raised for charity by the Great Lakes Garrison for 2015. This information is fed to the 501st who calculate the total raised.

Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Captain Phasma design and build

The phasma from the premier has a build thread on the FISD forums. Lauren, maybe you could help them, as it appears you have already been looking into it and considered doing a Captain Phasma build, from this previous thread. I'm researching captain phasma I'm highly considering it. I've been askin...

It is your own preference to wear your TK number on your shoulder bell. However, many events request "clean TKs", for example Weird Al Yankovic concerts. Hardly any GLG TKs wear decals on their armor. Those that do, have temporary decals that can easily be removed. These are not acceptable...
