Event Coordinator, due to Covid related issues, I’d like to recind my ticket as Darth Maul and put my name in for Beskar Din Djarin. If other Din’s sign up, that’s great, and I can act in another role to support the team. Thanks!
Count me in for Tie Reserve.

Yes, and I’ve trooped with Stacy in the past, before WonderCon moved to LA. Looking forward to this, one of my co-workers has seen the parade in the past. LIkely going to get a hotel at Union Square with expensive parking and get there as early as possible Saturday AM, must leave Oregon about 3AM.
MEEP! On-call calendar changed, will see if I can swap with someone otherwise i’ll have to give up my costume ticket. More to come soon.

*crossing fingers
Are there any plans for a pre-or post parade feedbag anywhere? It may affect where I pick a place to stay.
Darryl Paule as handler. Hoping my fiancé will be able to get her handler cert before then.
In as ANH TIE Pilot.
I’ll be there primarily supporting Endor, but can also help GGG members dress. I will not be walking. I will be staying at the changing area.
I’ll be there as clone Captain Vaughn! If we end up needing more handlers, I can also drop the costume and handle.
I’ll be singing up as my tk-Deathtrooper. Bringing my family with me and signed my wife as handler as well.
Brandy and I will not be attending.
