On February 15th, Minnesota Superheroes United surprised a little boy named Graeme with his granted wish to visit the Marvel Super Hero Land at Disneyland when it opens in 2020! I love doing Make-A-Wish reveal events – they are so much fun!
On February 2nd, I did an event for the St. Paul Winter Carnival (don’t worry – we were inside!) inside the Landmark Center. I didn’t feel like wearing any of my current costumes, and I really wanted to wear my orange lekku that I bought from my friend almost a year ago, so I whipped together a costume from things I already had from other costumes. I wore my pants, boots, and belt from my Poe Dameron costume, and my jacket and holster from my Zara Fenn costume. And then I carried a lightsaber, which made zero sense but it looked cool. I’ll eventually finish the actual costume for my orange lekku, but it’s nice to know I can toss this together when I feel like having some sort of vaguely Star Wars-y rebel/Jedi character.

The event itself was super fun! There were a ton of kiddos there, so we posed for so many photos. There were a few kids that just walked up to stare at us, because we looked like such an odd bunch!
The architecture inside the Landmark Center is so, so beautiful. Our changing room was inside one of the former courtrooms, and it had these cool nooks with ornate archways that I just fell in love with.

January 26th was the 2nd Annual Minnesota Force Costumed Bowling event! This time we invaded Park Tavern. We had such a huge turnout! I think everyone had fun. I didn’t bowl, but I had a blast watching everyone else bowl.

On January 3-6, the Minnesota Orchestra performed the music of Star Wars: A New Hope live along with a showing of the film for five shows. I volunteered at four of the five shows, and had an absolute blast! There were so many people excited to get photos with us, and it was fun to wear a variety of costumes over the three-day period. I wore Kylo on Thursday, Admiral Ackbar on Friday, and General Hux on Saturday.

On December 20th, I joined Minnesota Superheroes United at CMX Odyssey for the Aquaman premiere! Yep, I saw Aquaman for the second time this week, and enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time. Our little group was fun – all women!

On December 17th, I joined Minnesota Superheroes United at an Aquaman sneak preview at the Showplace ICON theater. I really enjoyed the movie and I highly recommend watching it in 3D (if you can and like watching 3D movies).

It’s one of my favorite events of the year: The Star Wars Holiday Special at Bryant Lake Bowl! This year marked my two-year anniversary of my very first troop with the Minnesota Force. We had a successful event collecting toys for Toys for Tots!
For this event, we bring out our Holiday Special costumes or do holiday-themed modifications to our existing costumes, and so I wore Zara Fenn and swapped out my usual grey t-shirt for a Santa Chewbacca shirt, a holiday Porg pin on my jacket, blinking lights strung around my lekku, and crocheted a little red and green sparkly scarf for Poy.
Poy likes sour beers.
I was sitting by the window in the dining area of the BLB and people who walked by had no idea what was going on.
