Looking for Stormtrooper in Asheville for GISHWHES

[soeteypop]

Hi There!

I am going to participate in GISHWHES "The Greatest Scavenger Hunt The World Has Ever Seen" for the fourth time this year. Every year there is an item that involves a Stormtrooper. In previous years I was living in New Orleans and one of my friends in the the 501st there, who is also in Chewbacchus (a huge scifi/fantasy walking Mardi Gras parade) was kind enough to be part of the hunt with me. Now that I have moved to Asheville & am new to the area, I haven't connected with the community yet, but was hoping one of the noble members of the Carolina Garrison would be interested in joining the fun with my team this year. The hunt takes place from August 5th - 12th, the time commitment for the trooper would be an hour or so, and we would provide snacks, or a favorite treat, or beer (TBD by the troooper) .... The item usually involves taking a photo of the trooper with a team member in a incongruous situation; previous examples include showing the storm trooper being pampered, performing a menial task, and learning an archaic skill, but we won't know what the item is this year until 11am on the 5th when the list is released. If anyone is interested, you can reply to me here. Also if any trooper is looking to join a GISHWHES team, my team currently has 2 spots available - we will be very active in NC, over half of our 15 member team lives in Asheville. You can make crazy, kind, fun art with us for a whole week! I will try to check the forum every day between now and the hunt.

Thanks so much for considering it. I hope to hear from someone!

YAY!!!!

I am so excited, I didn't expect to get a reply so quickly, which is why I posted 3 weeks in advance! You have made my day!!

As we get closer to GISHWHES week, we can touch base about your availability that week & what the item entails, as well as what provisions we can treat you to during the photo/video shoot.

THANK YOU SOOOOOO much, in advance!

Hey there!

I am deep in the middle of this crazy Gishwhes week & I am trying to coordinate the main prop for our storm trooper item this year. Can you guys tell me your availability over the next few days?

The hunt ends Saturday night, but I'd like to shoot during daylight hours if possible

Thanks so much!
