Awesome. That is me next to you. LOL

This is the problem with seeing people only twice a year, and with buckets on most of the time! :smiley-sw013:

44. Webster/Rochester Library Summer Reading Kick-off; 21 June 2024

This was the second time I've done this troop.  Thankfully the temperatures dropped from the low 90s earlier in the week to more comfortable 80℉ (34 to 26℃).

Forced perspective does weird things ( @tdurden is taller than me, but not that much taller):

46. Nickel City Comic Con, 30 June 2024

Day 2  was spent in my Mandolorian Death Watch, so no pictures of that here, or @Doggydoc in his Darth Maul ...

Day 3 of the con:

Obligatory group shot:

Guess how I spent most of the day (most of the weekend, actually):

I was senselessly attacked by a web-headed wall-crawling vigilante (if you look close, you can see the web lines attached to my armor):

And we presented a welcome bag to Daniel Logan, who graciously agreed to a group photo in front of our Jabba puppet:

47. North American Science Fiction Convention, 20 July 2024

 

This was a first for our garrison, so there were a couple of small hiccups.  What was planned as a three-day troop for us a single day.

And with us in the convention center and most of the scheduled events in the adjacent hotel, we were limited in our trooping.

 

But there are always good points about every troop:

I got a couple of autographs from Guest of Honor Alan Dean Foster when he visited our table:

I saw this during my first troop in the convention center a couple of years ago, but hadn't gotten a picture yet:

This planet doesn't look familiar ...

(Actually you weren't there; you were an inch-and-a-half east-northeast (insert "aim" joke [here]).)

Well deserved @Wompet! Amazing Con that I need to visit next year. Those props and pics are amazing. Love the Tantive IV airlock too

One of our members bought a very nicely designed white lightsaber with black trim (perfect TK colors!) which I had to pose with:

Question: Is this a Jawa problem, or a droid problem?

Oh sorry, just read that it wasn't yours, or that it was a TK saber! It really got me thinking of getting this accessory now!

49. Nickel City Comic Con, 12 October 2024

Usually held just in the summer, the showrunners decided to have a second weekend this fall.

Ready for the troop to start:

Not the droid I'm looking for (he is a fellow TK though):

As previously mentioned, my TK likes petting the local wildlife:

50! Nickel City Comic Con, 13 October 2024

So this troop began with my right shoulder bridge snapping in half (thanks given for garrison mates with white duct tape!) and the snap connecting my left shoulder bell strap to my shoulder elastic coming apart (a fix was MacGyvered).

But after that - fun was had by all.

I don't have copies of these pictures yet, but the Garrison presented welcome bags to guest celebrities and Star Wars actors Deep Roy, Jeryl Prescott, and Jon Abrahams.

Still not the droid I'm looking for:

An actor named William Shatner from another franchise was supposed to be there, but all I saw was his chair:

52. Brick Fest Live, 2 November 2024

This was the first time a Brick Fest was in our Garrison's area and available to troop at.

Going by others' pictures, this was a smaller traveling exhibit (which was just as well, as the first day only two of us were able to troop it).
