Looking for Stormtrooper for to do GISH item this week

[soeteypop]

Hi there, valiant members of the Carolina Garrison!

My Gish team (Greatest international scavenger hunt) needs the help of one (or more) storm troopers who would be willing to pose for a photo. We are in the Asheville area & we have a little less than a week to complete this challenge, and will make all the arrangements to accommodate your schedule. The prompt for the item reads:

"Modern stormtroopers are so much more enlightened these days. They’re in touch with their “new age” side and have their chakras aligned. In fact, you just spotted one teaching a yoga class or leading some other new-age class."

The deadline to complete it is end of day Saturday, August 4th. Would any of you be willing to take on this challenge with us?

My email is ericnstacy at gmail.com

Thanks for your consideration!
Stacy

Attention CG Members: Any Carolina Garrison trooper willing to participate in the GISH 2018 would be unofficial. Not saying you can't do it (if you can bend into a yoga pose) but it would have to be an unofficial thing you are doing for fun and should not reference the Carolina Garrison or 501st Legion. This from the Legion Event Coordinator, Kyle Beagle:

The Legion has a long history of suporting GISH.

Requests will follow a standard Event Request Process either through The Legion or Garrison path/channel. GCO's are reminded that this year's request to have a Stormtrooper - TK lead a yoga class is not within the preferences of Lucasfilm Ltd. / Disney for public appearances of their characters.

Hi there,

Thanks for responding to my message.

I would love to get this item done & I think we could make it work for you by putting a little twist on the way we shoot the prompt. My idea to make that work: the stormtrooper will be leading the class by teaching them a traditional stromtrooper pose, all his students will be mimicking his pose. So no need to do any crazy yoga poses, or to change the way stromtroopers are seen (though much of GISH is putting a fun/weird spin things).

The trooper I have worked with in the past (in New Orleans) did it just for fun, and I knew him well through my connection to the Sci-Fi Mardi Gras Parade Chewbacchus, which I have paraded with for years. Now that I live in Asheville, I don't know any local Stormtroopers, so I am reaching out here.

We will provide snacks, drinks,etc & it will be a guaranteed fun time! As Kyle Beagle mentioned, there is a long history of GISH -stormtrooper collaboration. Gish LOVES stormtroopers, there is always at least one Stormtrooper item every year.

Thanks again for considering participating! I would love to work with you guys on this.
