revlimiter[Staff] Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 4/6/24 - Surreal Comics 1 Year Anniversary 102nd TK troop, 8th for the year This one was an unofficial troop at a comic store. The owner is a friend of the garrison and does a lot of favors for us. Getting to help celebrate their first year was great. And it was my first troop with the elephant gun! T-21, baby! It's the same length as a DLT-19 but it sure has a lot more presence. This one was made by Tye, the Boba Fett in the above photo about 8 to 10 years ago. It appeared on the 501st forums for sale in Texas and I jumped on it. It's fantastic and will be going out with me in the future. At about 7 lbs, it's not bad to carry around for a few hours. These vintage motor cars requested that I pose with them. My only price was that they take a pic with my own datapad for my archives. Back to the troop, a local radio station was covering the event and the host wanted to interview someone with a voice changer. I was the only one in attendance with the little speakers and our CO (also in attendance) agreed it was fine since it was just radio. So I did about 30 seconds with Erica Viking. SO awesome!!! And then I got paid again for my services - with a selfie. I've listened to Erica since college (she's been a local DJ on various stations for a while) and it was awesome to be able to do this. 102 troops... Being a TK is still every bit as good as my first troop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revlimiter[Staff] Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 4/9/24 - Ronald McDonald House Party 103rd TK troop, 9th for 2024 In April of 2024, Dewback Ridge finally got to go back to Ronald McDonald house after a roughly 5 year absence. COVID stopped these troops and I never got to do one... until now! We began the troop with a serious meeting discussing ways in which to spread smiles and enjoy troopy antics that wouldn't break our little plastic necks. Or butt plates. No one likes a broken butt plate. A moment of reflection as the sun set to the west. A quiet song at the piano to set the mood for dinner. A ball game spread smiles between posing for pix. Every time I see a McDonald house troop in someone's log I get a little jealous. Well, no more!!! I finally get to cross that one off. Next one I hope to cross off is a Weird Al tour, but I'm not holding my breath. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
