Toowoomba Christmas Wonderland - Bolt_2112 - Sunday 14-Dec-2014 Date: Friday and Saturday 12th and 13th December 2014 Venue: Queens Park, Toowoomba, Australia, Earth, Milky Way Time: 7:00 to 10:00 PM Mission: To bring an Imperial Presence to the local Christmas light display and put smiles on faces young and old. Trooper Attendance: RBG: - Bolt- TK Agent Smith - TK Beccyd - DZ Support Crew Scotty33 - Wrangler Details: -1st night- My shuttle arrived earlier than anticipated, but I made good use of the 30mins by polishing my armour for the troop ahead. Not long after Agent Smith arrived after almost forgetting his undersuit. Scotty33 wasn't too far behind along with the band of civilians that had requested our presence (which included the Jedi Obi-wan Kenobi and the rebel Princess Leia). Unfortunately after capturing Kenobi we were mind-tricked and forced not to harm any other civilians. We continued into the park and were greeted by large formations of lights, some of which resembled exploding planets. (ah the memories of Alderaan). We mingled with the civilians, asked for identification and checked how long they had their droids. We were in at least 200 photos and with all those flashes going off were very thankful for our tinted visors. -2nd night- I arrived right on time and was immediately mind-tricked again. (Who knew jedi could drive a vehicle and mind-trick a trooper!?). Scotty33 was not far behind along with Beccyd. This night I kept a count of the children that I made cry (7) and Beccyd (All of them, except one). Strangely the children found me much more inviting than my jawa friend, only one 5 year old was brave enough to run up to Beccyd and gave her a hug. I discovered coffee (photo to come) and made lots of friends. Scotty33 was the unsung hero of the night, keeping the small children at bay and assisting in taking a ton of photos, great job! Charity Funds Raised: Nil Injuries / Malfunctions: None! (except Beccyd forgetting her bandolier) Public Incidents: Other than distracting all the Telstra volunteers from doing their jobs, none! Mission Status: SUCCESS!! The event organisers loved having us there and invited us back for like the next 3 years. Photos: Sorry Beccyd I don't have any photo's of the second night yet, I will post when I get them Here's the rest of them: http://s1310.photobucket.com/user/Luke_Shadbolt/library/Toowoomba%20Christmas%20Wonderland?sort=3&page=1 RE: Toowoomba Christmas Wonderland - Agent Smith - Sunday 14-Dec-2014 Nice report..well done.
