MechaPumpkin[TK] Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) We descended upon "The Hammer" with the full force of the Empire. 2 days of good times with good friends. Canadian Garrison TKs well represented with Lucas "Suga Pants" Cochran, Scott Whitten, Bradley Davies (FIRST TROOP!), Dan Sloman, Jessica Boyer, Chris Coscarella, the ever trooping Ken "Ponyboy" Morse (closing in on 300 troops!), and myself. TK Paul "Butters" Young, was also present, masquerading as TIE and double agent Rebel Scum. Also joining us was TK Andrea "Pickles" Loar, who never managed to suit up, but was extremely helpful in the dissemination of information, and photo taking, portions of the con. If I left anyone out, I apologize. Next time punch me in the junk and I'll remember you come troop report time. Highlights of the weekend include dinner with Jeremy Bulloch (yes, THE Boba Fett!) and just generally hanging out with him and Mr. Maul himself, Ray Park (No big whoop . . . yes you may touch me). Both of these guys are amazing. If you ever get a chance to meet either of them, jump on it. Two of the most fan-friendly celebrities I've ever met. Just awesome. Personal highlight for me was escorting them a few times, to and from the stage for their panel, and to photo shoots. You might especially appreciate the photo of Jeremy Bulloch, with some of the garrison kids dressed as ewoks, being photo-bombed by Ray Park . . . seriously, that happened. Oh yeah, and as you'll see from the pictures (and you may have seen in the Fan Expo photos from the September Newsletter), we now have a show stopping Chewbacca (Sean Sullivan) in our garrison. My jaw drops, and I forget my name, every time he suits up. Okay, who wants to hear this idiot ramble on? No one, that's who . . . pics . . .

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 That must have been an AWESOME troop! Not quite sure how you managed to get photo #4, but very, very cool! My apologies in advance, but I couldn't help altering the pic of Lord Vader on that Z-74 Speeder bike. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68Brick[TK] Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 This was an awesome troop (especially for me being my first!). Thanks to everyone for the welcome and guidance. I had a ton of fun at the Blast-a-Trooper and only suffered 2 armor bites! Meeting Jeremy Bulloch and his lovely wife was a bonus too. We also raised some good coin too. Smiles in and outside of the bucket. I super-stoked for trooper #2 and also returning to this event next year! Thanks again and congratulations on another successful event!
