Report:
We arrived early in order to prepare for the onslaught of eager cosplayers and Mr and Mrs public keen to stand beside us and assist in raising much needed funds for Guide Dogs WA.
The doors opened and the crowds streamed in,bustling and pushing at times.Cash payments to the right,pre paid to the left.
Eva and John were on hand for an hour or so as reps from Guide Dogs WA.John shared information to members of the public wanting to know more while Eva was more interested in her carrot diet and taking a poo on the grass.
Q and Jerry became self appointed crowd control,there was a need and they took up the challenge.At one point Vader required their protection and they performed their duties professionally,Q especially made no inappropriate comments throughout his trooping shift.
Brad,Plunk and Kade mixed it up in the crowd with a stint of trooping,wrangling or stall hopping.
Marie,Skate(thx for cupcakes) and Em wrangled thru the day.Liz devoured cookies and cupcakes which was appreciated as this gave us less kit to carry home.
The line for the cafe never seemed to end and at times the line for the toilet crossed with the line for the cafe so you were not sure if you were making your way to buying some hot chips or spending a penny.The 2 ladies in the cafe never dropped the ball,they were a powerhouse team in feeding the hungry hordes.
Throughout the day the requests for photos came,one at 10.30,another at 11.45 and two at 2pm.
At 2.20pm the pace picked up with an impressive lightsaber show and at 3.25 a first time performance by idol group Pallettes!.Both were well received.Q is looking to expand on the Pallette! dance with a Stormtrooper version.
This was bringing the day to a close,wow,what a day..so hectic

Charity: Guide Dogs WA via HBF run for a reason.Unfortunately we raised minus $13 on our raffle however overall on the day we raised $200.A charity post will be posted as soon as the funds are deposited.
Congratulations Marie who won the raffle consisting of a Star Wars cap,water bottle and $50 pre paid Visa card.The winner has been contacted and will receive her prize in due course.

Injuries: None that I am aware.

Armour Repairs: The hook on Vaders cape broke loose which caused him to retire early much to his disappointment.

Happy People: All at Evolve,I did not see anyone cry except for Darcy from Pallette! however this was more thru exhaustion not something we did.

Unhappy People: The ladies in the cafe must have been feeling stuffed at the end of their shift.

Mission Status: Complete
