    jwwest got a reaction from lantern2745 in So close, I can taste it   
    Hello all,
         I want to start off by saying thank you to all that have posted resources for individuals like me, who are just getting started. I have found that each resource that I have been pointed towards has been spot on. 
        I have my entire staff officer uniform put together. I am just waiting for my cylinders to arrive and it will be the final piece to my uniform. 
        I set a goal out to become a member of the 501st before I set out for Celebration in Chicago. Now it looks like that goal is within reach. 
         I am going to submit my application and photos as soon as humanly possible. I cannot wait to join the ranks. Cheers!!!
  2. Thanks

    Good luck!  Have fun at Celebration regardless!  Drop by the 501st area and say hi!  I won't be there (or even in that state), but we 501st members love meeting other 501st members.

    Just a few pointers for your first time. Comfortable shoes, bring a lunch because convention food is expensive and usually not very good. Lastly, they put out a schedule for each day. Look at it, formulate a plan and stick to it. The main convention floor will all be vendors. Definitely set aside some time to shop. 
    My first celebration was extremely overwhelming the first day. I had to step outside and take a breather. Remember to have fun. I hope this helps.

    I’ll be going all five days. Coming in the day before and departing the day after. This will be my 4th celebration. My goal this year will be to attend as many photo ops with my heroes as possible. I have autographs, but I never got to meet any of them. I’m super pumped. I’m also taking my nephew who has never experienced a celebration. He’s in for a ln adventure.
