Zach and I didn't send in a photo of us in costume. I noticed we're still signed up and confirmed so I guess it's OK. Was the photo requirement for new (yet-to-be) approved costumes?

We're planning on going and looking forward to some Tantive IV type battles (we'll be running a lot trying to find new positions to fight from) in HP pavilion!

If any ladies need privacy without having to use the women's restroom, I can bring my portable "changing tent" to use as well.

This *should* be the final set of information for HP Pavilion Star Wars in Concert Volunteers.

PARKING
We gave out parking spots to those who replied to our notification in the 501st and RL forums and had car pools arranged. We had to cut off applications this evening because we needed to get the list in to our contact for the concert. We apologize for it being last minute, or if any of you missed the call out for parking spots.

Approved Car Pool Drivers will be using the HP Pavilion employee Parking Lot. Come under the 87 highway overpass and the lot is off of Santa Clara. (I believe it is lot 1422 on this map > ) They should have your name at the gate.

Here are the drivers for Rebel Legion:

2:00pm

2. Matt
3. Scott
4. Alison

7:00pm

2. Bette
3. Don
4. Matt
5. Alison

If you are finding your own parking spot, please reference the parking lots listed on this page . I beleive Matt Tolosa suggests the Market & San Pedro Square parking garage. He thinks it is free until 6:00pm on Sunday and it is a few blocks from HP Pavilion 45 N Market St San Jose, CA 95106 http://www.yelp.com/biz/san-pedro-square-garage-san-jose

ARRIVAL TIME: We have been asked not to enter the HP Pavilion any earlier than 1 hour before door opening. So the meet-up time for entry to the venue is 11:30 for the 2:00pm show, and 4:30 for the 7pm show. The concert staff will not be ready to meet us and escort us in any earlier than those times.

MEET UP LOCATION: Rear doors of the Arena that face the parking lot (not the front doors with the marquis) http://endorbase.org/hp.jpg

WATCHING THE CONCERT: All of our approved volunteers and handlers will be given free seats to watch the concert! If you have a costume you are able to sit in for the duration of the show, you don't have to change into street clothes! However, helmets must be removed. 15 min before show times, Wendy and Keirstin (SW in concert employees) will make a walk around to make sure there is time for volunteers to make it to either purchased seats or the provided complimentary seats.

CONTACT INFO: Keirstin is our contact working for SW in Concert. (She is the production assistant). Her assistant is Wendy . If you need to contact Keirstin I gave out her cell phone number in the Yahoo Group.

Weapons: Blaster and Lightsaber are approved

Getting together for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner: Many Rebel Legion and Fan Force members are meeting up at Brittania Arms at roughly 11:00am. Some are meeting up for dinner there after the 2:00 show ends, and a few of us may go there after the 7:00 show. Their dining hours are 9:00am-10:00pm Address is 173 w. Santa Clara Street

The Show

Star Wars in Concert is a 2-hour program comprised of two 45-minute acts and a 30-minute intermission. The show will generally run from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm with doors opening at 6 pm. Our venues will predominantly be closing at 11 pm. In some cities there will be a matinee, whether it is in conjunction with an evening show, or by itself. There is also a full exhibit of props, costumes, and artwork traveling with the show. The exhibit will be in the lobbies and concourses of each venue.

Duties

501st and Rebel Legion participation is voluntary. Participants will interact with the concert audience, in character, throughout the exhibit prior to the concert event. Doors generally open 90 minutes prior to curtain and we expect our participants to be prepared and in costume by that time. We expect participants to arrive with enough time to be prepared 90 minutes prior to curtains. We also encourage participants to again interact with the audience, in character, after the concert. The audience will be taking their final walk through the exhibit as they exit and looking for last minute photo opportunities with costumed participants. We do not expect participants who have bought tickets to the show to interact with the audience on the concourse during the 30-minute intermission.

I just want to thank Kathy Leia Buns

and Ed D.

for co-coordinating this and keeping everyone up to date. Great job, you two!

My only regret is not having two shows over two days. That way, I think we all could've taken more pictures of each other and the exhibits; and having R2 there would've been a nice bonus. But I'm glad I got to see the concert twice (well, technically 1 1/2 times), and that we got (most) of the Endor Base members at the Endor background for a group photo.

Very Happy

Hopefully, my pics will be up in the next day or two.

I'm wishing I had spent the extra 20 bucks to get closer seats.
