Mission Complete: Eugene - International Film Festival - Sept 8th

[Quick2]

    Wow What a great Time We had in Eugene to take part in this Entry of Eugene International Film Festival.   It  was a Beautiful day and the crowds watching the Parade were out...  We were 29th out of 100 entries.
 The entry and the Stormtroopers got alot of cheers and Support.. We Trooped in Parade for an Hour and then afterward we came back to watch pararde in Armor and got still more cheers.   People who were passing during there time in Parade came over to us to give us High fives..
The Motorhome that we were able to use as a dressing room was fantastic..lots of room 
We had donuts and coffee for folks that drank it as well as water...plus pop for after....They were kind enough to help with gas for those who drove down.. THANK YOU Jeff...Thank you to your group... Thank you for inviting us...

Karyn acted as a Spotter and I was so proud of her.. She took lots of pics..and made sure we were fine..What a fun Event hope maybe we can Troop again at this and maybe Help them at the 2nd Annual Film Fest on Oct 4-6 2007
Peace, Allan

Truly a fun event, Allan & after all of the events you and Karyn have trooped with us, it was a pleasure to make the trip and help Eugene get a little taste of the 501st. I can't wait to see the photos and hopefully the video!

    I turned on the Local access channel and they Filmed the Parade....The kicker is I turned it on 5 minutes before the The Eugene Film fest entry came on.... They showed a long shot of all 4 of us marching and then close ups.. I was able to Record it on DVD..WOOOOOT  It was a cool segment .. the Guy loved Star wars..
Also  on the Local NBC news they Interviewed local responses of the Parade and this Woman said she loved the StormTroopers.... WOOO HOOOOO.. though they did not show us .. Just knowing she Said it... It was cool.. Thanks again everyone Involved.. CCG and Eugene International Film Festival...
Peace, Allan

Well that turned out great Gents, the crowd went wild! Many thanks to Jeff and his crew, for keepin the troops combat ready throughout the parade! Definitely a unique experience when a random parader pantomime's the act of eating your armor with a spoon while riding a bike.
Thanx much Allan for keepin us well informed, and coordinateing. Also for thoughs pics!
Good meetin you David, and also great troopin with you guyz agian!

I got this in my email the other day!

I wasn't sure who to email this to but I wanted to thank you so much for coming out to the Eugene Celebration. I wasn't able to stay and take a lot of pictures but the one I did get I thought wasn't too bad! I know you made the day of a lot of people and wanted you to know it too.
