Gotta wear your sunglasses at night.
Dammit! Why must the 501st be there to protect that Jumbo Stormtrooper sample (assuming it's even there). Now there's no point in even having an insider since he'll be unable to swipe it for me with it under heavy Imperial guard. :)
Seriously, congrats guys on having such a presence this year and I hope you all have a blast.

Remember, you need AA batteries.
Atom, you are doing such a great job MC all the contests etc. Keep up the great work!
I sure hope someone is taking some video of this?

I just read that the sequel to "Tron" is going to be called "Tron Legacy"... and principle filming has already been completed! O.o; (Not only was that an epically-fast shoot... but no one seemed to notice that it was happening!)
