MISSION COMPLETE: Oct 18, 2008, Saturday,6th Annual Pig Bowl Flag Football Game

[tavrikgannon]

The first post has been updated with the most current roster, to date.

Unless someone has to back out, looks like Matt is spotting and Kyle, James, Rick and myself are costuming.

We are Cloud City Garrison, local chapter of the 501st Legion servinf Oregon and SW Washington. I think anyway you spin will be fine.

There is a guy in White Salmon that has applied for 501st membership. The GML up at Titan felt he should be with our garrison, instead . So, I will follow up with him to see if can make it. I believe he is applying as a TK.

I will keep you posted.

Come on gang.. This one looks like fun.. Weather should be nice.. Bill, how long will the troop be?

[Rattlehead]

In the past we have had the game go as short as 105 minutes. We have 4, 15 minute quarters and it is running clock till a score, or 2 minute warning of each half. The last 2 minutes is standard NFL time keeping rules.

Thanks for the roster update.

So my guess is that you all could be gone and out of The Dalles no later then 2115 hrs (9:15 PM).

Just wondering:

1) Has there been discussions, in areas of this forum I am not aloud, about who is carpooling with who? If not I volunteer to go with Bill, he knows were I live; or I could go with what was decided.

2) Is it OK if I bring the music, Imperial march?  If I can, should I bring the traditional, or the Rage version?

[Rattlehead]

Oomar Galor, yes please bring the music. I would prefer the original "Imperial March". I hope to figure out tomorrow what kind of hook up we will need to pipe it into the PA system if that is possible at all on the system they have. We may just have to kick it over some speakers and put a mic up to it.

ALERT!!!

I read the article in our local paper today and the town is buzzing about you guys coming down to The Dalles. My kids inform me that several of their friends will be in attendance to see the Star Wars guys and gals if they were to show up as well.

Really hoping as many of you as possible can make it.

Really, really hoping the other two "maybes" show up in Vader and a Sandtrooper attire.

Peace out and have a great day.

Rattlehead,

Thanks for the information.  I have two copies of the Imperial March in the device, though it would automatically loop back (I think).  Also I have a mini-speaker, that I could bring.

[tavrikgannon]

We haven't really discussed who is riding with who yet....

 - Bill

[Rattlehead]

Oomar, I was unable to speak to anyone who knew anything about the PA and I will not be able to look at it till 4 PM tomorrow.
Sorry, hopefully we can make it work. If I'm able to I will go pickup the proper connector for it. That is if I can get it in The Dalles.

Bill, is Rick bringing His Vader?  I think he is.  This looks to be great fun... Rally troopers..Anyone else able to do this??

[Hoot]

Just posting to confirm that I will be able to go, I found out today.

Rattlehead,

What I will do is bring a small speaker I have, if the connectors are...  That way, if there is a microphone, all I have to do is plug the ipod device to the speaker and we can use the microphone.

[Rattlehead]

Oomar, that is great! again, I will see what we can do. When you guys arrive we will check into it and see what we can come up with.

XO, don't tease.

Is Vader going to be here for the event? My kids and I (mainly me, lol) are really hoping so. Not to lessen what everyone else is going to be showing up as but still come on it's Vader!

[Rattlehead]

I wanted to tell all of you. The way we do this event, people and businesses are aloud to purchase touchdowns prior and during the game.

$50 = 7 pts.

So the the current score of the game is 436 for the Oregon Team and the Washington Team is at 203.

Yes, quite a bit lop sided but it is all good. Those totals roughly come out to $4500. Not bad for a game that has not even started yet.

Again, thank you all for your help in raising funds.

[Rattlehead]

Well, I think it went quite well. With the Mission complete I must say I was most impressed by everyone in attendance.

I want to give a special shout out to Bill. Thanks man, you being my go to guy I really appreciate all of your efforts to make this event a success.

Kyle, sorry you couldn't make it to the party afterward,(hope the family gets to feeling better) the other guys I think had a good time. It was late but I'm glad you guys hung around. Also Kyle your Clone Trooper suit looked killer!

Rick and Matt thank you again.

Vader was a big hit, my son was thrillled but even more so was my brother-in-law. He was half freaking out and got a photo with you guys. Today we had a b-day party for him and they had the photo from last night on display. It looked awesome.

Not everyone there was as big a Star Wars fan as I am so I must say Bill as the Imp Officer you looked great man. Also just so everyone know even our announcer had to give Bill a little love by saying, "Yes, the Imperial Officer leading the way not to be left out as one of the first to catch Darth Vader's wrath.

The cooperation of the Cloud City Garrison and 4 of you that I met last night for the first time just reassures me that this is something I very much want to do. I even have my brother-in-law talking about it.

I was asked by one of you last night what I wanted to do and I'm still leaning toward Biker Scout however, I'm stating to think about other options after last night.

Peace out for now and I will get back to you all on an amount that we raised and photos from the event.

[Rattlehead]

Myself and Trooper Holloran went to see the family today and we handed them a check for $8713.

Hopefully that can go little ways to paying some bills putting gas in the rig to get to doctor's offices and food on the table.

Thanks again all and I won't be a stranger around here.

[JadesFire]

HEy it was our honor... we had a lot of fun... hopefully next year I won't be sick and can dress up as well, as it was taking pictures was a lot of fun. Kyle just got back from his business trip, so hopefully today or tomorow will see the pictures up in a new gallery. Thanks for inviting us!
