I trooped the concert here in Portland a while back. We had a great turn out from our local Garrison, and it was nice getting to see the costumes and props early before the general public was let in. Also, the Han in Carbonite display was only available in our special changing area and not in the arena, so it was nice getting to see that.Once people started entering the arena, we were all mobbed. I got whacked in the bucket by a kid with a lightsaber, but luckily no scratches. I wear a ROTJ TK uniform, so I hung out near the Ewok display in front of the Endor photo backdrop. Really fun.The show itself was amazing, and really well orchestrated. Awesome pyro effects, and at least in Portland, the acoustics were nice and the show sounded great. We were on the side in the lower bowl, so everyone was complaining about neck soreness afterwards, but it was worth it.Here's a shot of me (left) and my friend Allan (right) posing for pics in our TE suits:<img src=\"http://www.tk8992.com/images/swic00.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
