Yes Paintball!  We were asked to come out and help out with a really fun event for 24 Hour Games.  They held a Star Wars Themed 24 hour long paintball game that benefitted Toys For Tots.  Teams were seperated as Rebellion and Empire with numerous rollplayers playing Jedi and other parts.  We were there for opening ceremonies and such, but eventually got in on the action ourselves.  Visit the Gallery for pictures of the aftermath of playing paintball in a full or partial Stormtrooper costume.  We even had our first overnight campout as a part of the 501st.  Now if it had just not been 30 degrees all night…………….

Atlanta Falcons/Cinemax Appearance

November 20, 2006 8:31 PM

We were recently honored to make an appearance for Cinemax promoting the release of all six Star Wars films in High Definition on Cinemax.  This event took place at the Comcast Pavilion at the recent Falcons vs. Browns football game.  We were all suited up for this one, so we don’t have many pictures.  Fortunately one of us ran into some friends and we were able to get one of the official pictures Cinemax was taking at the event.
