St. Patrick's Day Parade - South Boston 3/15

Last Sunday I trooped the St. Pat's parade in South Boston with the rest of the New England Garrison of the 501st Legion. I was dressed as a Tusken Raider (the tan guy down in front), which is an easier costume to wear when walking farther than 50 feet - though visibility is an issue! We were joined by members of our Rebel sister group, Alderaan Base, and Legion members from Canada, New York, and Pennsylvania. We had over 50 marchers and the parade was watched by an estimated 600,000 people! Here are a few photos from the event, and you can see more here, and a short YouTube video of us here. I came away from the parade with one blister, sore legs, and some great memories!

Boba Fett and Vader. The guy doing Vader that day is 6'11 - he's huge! Chip just had a baby, so that's him holding his new apprentice, I mean, his 3 mo. old. We even had R2 and C-3PO!
