Planning - Sky Sox Star Wars Day, COS, CO – Complete

Banzai (Hugh Coffman)

The Sky Sox contact me regarding Star Wars Day 2013. We are in the planning stage right now. The plan is to continue the storyline from 2012. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. At this time, the invited clubs are MB and MG. I am hoping the Mando Mercs, R2 builders and RMFF will be invited too.

Side note: There were some concerns last year regarding the safety of costumers participating due to past experiences at hockey, roller derby, etc. events. I was not aware of any of these concerns happening. It was a great experience for all. I cannot guarantee this will happen again (just as much as I cannot guarantee the lottery ticket you may have will win the jackpot) but if that was your concern for not attending last year, please rethink your participation.

I cannot be the POC for this event due to being out of town and family obligations from mid-May to mid-June. If anyone would like to be the RL/MB POC for this it would be great.

I hope those who have been active regarding their concerns regarding MB events will step in here.

I don't want to step on any toes down that direction, so I'll take this on if none of our members in the Springs want to handle it.

I'm hesitant to tackle any large troops until after I see how well I do as POC on the concert I was asked to handle in May.

Since Jon (from the Sky Sox) wants this to be bigger than last year and there are mainly three active MB members in the Springs (Alex, unable due to other obligations; Shana , see her post; and myself, see my post), Tony this event is yours.

I am not quite sure who the MG/PPS POC is. The last email I received from Jon in December was he wants to start on this right away with ideas on a story line, a continuation from last year. We are in the brainstorming stage. As of this post, no ideas have been submitted to him from MB.

Last year Jon granted my request to have a table. We shared our table with the RMFF and MM. The table was nice to have but the backdrop was an issue due to the winds. He supplied the table and chairs.

This was going to be open to the MM, RMFF, DE in addition to the RL and 501st. I mentioned to him about having a R2 in the Springs now (R2 Builders) and the Mercs (MM) were the ones escorting Vader onto the field. At this time it is a RL/501st only event.

You have all the info I have regarding this event. Have fun.

Thank you for doing this, Tony.

I need contact information. Email, phone, etc, so I can take care of business.

Last Sky Sox email sent to you.

Have a great time planning this event and enjoy making a block buster video.

An email was sent to the event coordinator late last week. Still waiting on word back.

Tony, please keep myself and Andy up to date with what is being communicated to the MB. We need to keep close on this one.

Thanks Tony.

I did talk briefly with Andy last night but there were no set dates for a meeting with Eddy at this time.

FYI, I see that this game will be on Saturday June 29th, not the 26th.

The article I found that in is http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130228&content_id=42110218&vkey=news_t551&fext=.jsp&sid=t551

I was contacted by Andy Love, MG POC, as well as Tony and I will be keeping up with the notifications for the MB.

At this time I have spoken with R2 Thomas and he is looking to contact Eddy about R2 coming along.

At this time I am also working on getting an Ewok to participate in the opening pitch.

The idea is a TB will be catching three of the four opening pitches. After the third one the Ewok will come over with a baseball bat and "escort" the TB off the field.

From there I am still waiting to get an email from Andy on the storyline for this year.

Please stay tuned and ask whatever questions you may have.

Thank you.
