Dang, I already got a plane ticket prior to seeing your response. I’d have much rather driven as it’s MUCH easier to transport stuff like the riding boots and helmet, just don’t trust the baggage handlers, but c’est l’aive I suppose.

I had the app for a celebration a few years back. It was helpful in keeping track of scheduling etc. Sounds like they’re putting more into it this time around.

I’ll be around, probably ID and/or IN, with a retired member who will probably be likewise open-faced. We can keep an eye on you if you like.

I use leather or webbing loops. I found open ended clips can occasionally pop off the belt if you do a lot of moving around.

There’s usually a sizeable contingent present. Not sure if there’s going to be a caravan down or not, but I believe there was some talk about it.
There are usually scheduled events/ mixers after hours, mostly put on by the various detachments, for example FISD, IOC, etc. Schedules are typically posted on each detachment’s forum.
Then there’s always the big Bash, details of which are posted on the main 501st boards. In fact there’s a thread on there that usually keeps a running calendar of the various after-hours events.
If this is your first Celebration, you’re in for a great time, particularly with all the out-of-con events!

Well, for what it’s worth, I like the idea of 7 Stars as I’ve been dying to give it a try. This would be a great excuse! But I’m in concert both days, so I don’t know if I’d actually be able to make it.

Interested to know if still available?
