Museum of Sci Fi

Museum of Sci Fi wanted to shoot a promo commercial to support their fundraising efforts to build their preview museum.  I first heard about this project a few weeks earlier and really wanted to donate money.  I donated $50 towards the funding.  With it being Christmas season I couldn't donate anymore.  But then this troop popped up I jumped on it.

Dec 1st, bright and early Ray and I journeyed up to Washington, DC.  We stopped by Starbucks and got our coffee.  This lady came up to us and asked us what we were dressed up and we told her.  She was really excited to hear about the Museum as well.  

We got to the Capitol building and found parking and met up with a few Old Line Garrison members and a few Tyranus members as they got there.

It was a really fun troop.  They only wanted stormtroopers for the commercial  but we got a ton of pictures taken by tourists.  It's amazing how quickly news traveled and people came up to me saying that they heard about it on the metro, twitter, facebook, and came running.

We got featured on WTOP (local news radio station), DCist, and the Washington Post.  I've heard we also were featured on some other news networks.  Hardball showed a brief clip of the stormtroopers while they were shooting the commercial.
