501st at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo 2012

[Nefthys]

Well I attended my very first troop with the 501st at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo (CCEE) for 2012. I had a really good time and everyone was very helpful. We had a photo booth set up to raise money for the Make-a-Wish foundation, and were very successful. A few friends were nice enough to get some photo's of me trooping about as Darrth Nihilus. I also found a video on youtube I'm in, as well as our Darth Maul getting painted up at the 501st booth. I appear at 3min and 45seconds and Darth Maul is a near the end at 9min and 58 seconds.

 

 

Some photos!

 

Dave Luckman grabbed this great shot of me with a Manolorian Merc.

 

My friend Errin got this shot of me on the second day. She also has a video of my dancing, but we shall see if that makes it to the web.

 

Lastly, I baked cupcakes for the troops for the weekend. Gotta keep everyone well fed on a 3 day event!

 

It was a great weekend, and an awesome experience. I'm looking forward to many more troops with the 501st.

 

Cheers,

Nef

WOW your soo lucky Nef you get so many troop over there... we don't get many here.

We have at least 2 troops every weekend in May, and it's looking like June is starting to fill up too. I'll be busy!

 

One from last weekend.
