Clamps[TK] Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Late summer is upon is which means its time for the Canadian Garrison's largest event of the year "Fan Expo." We were asked to come out today to have a little game of Beach Volleyball as a publicity/photo-opportunity with the local media to boost awareness of the show to the masses. By Toronto standards, it was sunny, hot and humid (being close the the lake and all It all seemed like a good idea at the time. In attendance: TK-9418 Ken Pony Boy Morse (TIVBP) TK-3417 Phil "I used to be Captain Rex" Fabroni (TIVBP) - First troop as a TK DZ-25267 Charles "Tusken Boo Boo" Bowes (yay that's me!) DZ-7436 Michelle "Tusken Ma" Donnelly BH-11666 Shawn Preston CB-85039 Allan Rombough - First 501st Troop TK-2029 Leisa "I'm Slave Leia" Knapp this one will also be counting for Tantive IV Boarding Party Fire Team troop, as Ken and Phil were representing in TK. Charles and Leisa were traitors and put on the Tattoine outerwear! Enough chatter, here comes the pictures. Media coverage links to follow as we find them.

Vader Rocks Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Looks like fun, great job. Can't imagine trying to play volleyball in mine between the limited movement, limited vision and worrying about breaking something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps[TK] Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 not a lot of return shots. Tons of aces. plenty of goofing off. we were all pretty paranoid about damage on the eve of the biggest event of our year. I sustained non impact damage. the heat was strong enough to loosen the bond on my velcro battery attachment. The battery dropped, pulled on the fan and broke the connection. No fan=heat build up super fast. I had to pull myself from the activities as I was starting to get light headed. luckily I was very hydrated so I was able to cool down pretty quickly after kit removal. Tuskens in the sun are not easy to troop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
