Carolina Garrison

The 501st was called to Greensboro College, NC to attend the Art of Cosplay: People and Process. This was a public question and answer forum that focused on the process, art, people and steps involved in fabricating costumes. A panel of various Costumer's were on hand to describe what area of costuming they were involved in. The 501st own James Rippe was part of that panel and did a great job of explaining the mission of the 501st, along with the various charities we help with. Regular exhibit hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m.-noon Saturdays through Feb. 1.

Troopers in Attendance:
Pam Greeson (Imperial Officer)
Andrew Greeson (Stormtrooper)
Austin Tyner (Stormtrooper) First official troop!
James Rippe (Darth Nihilus)
Brian Dudas (Biker Scout)

Trooper Art Display:
Cheralyn Lambeth (Queen Amidala display)

Why does Pam pull her hair back when she's a Jedi, but not when she's an officer in a military organization? Is it about light saber safety or do the Jedi have a stricter dress code?
