I'm finally officially a Member of the 501st Legion - Vader's Fist!!!

For those of you who have been friends with me for a while, and read this blog, you know I'm into Star Wars Costuming, and primarily it is for charity.  Well, I have been working on my Imperial Security Bureau Costume (it is the least expensive costume for me to make) and submitted it last week and was approved!  My lifetime TKID number for the 501st Legion is 4053.  I chose that number because it is a slight reversal of my father's birthday (5/3/40) and he was the person who took me to see Star Wars back in 1977, and started this whole crazy thing.  Now I'll always have the number to remind me of him and seeing the movie together.  Okay, for those of you who won't recognize the uniform, it is from A New Hope (the original SW movie) and can be seen in the scene where they are all in the conference room.  The officer sitting next to the idiot who challenges Darth Vader and gets Force choked because of it.

My first official troop:

As for the job search, it is continuing.  I'm applying for jobs in Los Angeles, CA; Redmond, WA and of course several here in the KC area.  Just wish I was having better luck. 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
