Trooping for a good cause

[dancerjodi]

This is what its all about really. Brian, Aaron and I went to the http://ride2005.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=69721 to cheer on returning riders, pass out water, and generally give people a shock as they came around a corner not expecting to see storm troopers and biker scouts at the end of their journey. Ride volunteers yesterday estimated that the group raised almost a million dollars! Awesome.

Here's some of our photos from the day http://www.501neg.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=321 . Most inspirational was hearing people's individual stories, including one woman who got off her bike, ran over and hugged Brian, said she's been a huge SW fan since 1977, and said that she's been cancer-free for 6 years.

"Do I see you guys this thurs?"

Brian won't be there, because he's flying back from Vegas (LucasArts is paying to fly, hotel and feed 40 stormtroopers for some premiere event). I'm hoping to go after being in Swansea for the day promoting the movie (it comes out on the 19th).

Do you know what time your set(s) is/are?

We're probably starting with our acoustic songs at 9:30, and starting our electric one around 10:15...
