Force Friday
2019-10-04 17:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | City Creek Disney Store, 51 Main St., Salt Lake City, UT, 84101, United States
The Disney Store in City Creek Mall has asked for troopers to be at their store to help celebrate Force Friday. This is an open invitation from Lucasfilms so LFL protocol and Disney weapons protocol are in affect (meaning no modifications to costumes and blasters must be at either at rest, pointed up or pointed down).
There is no changing facilities, so this is change at your car. If you do need a space to change, Denney Fifield works a block away. Please contact him for a secure changing place.
Store Manager is Martha.

Working on a secure changing location for us.
As this event is at a school, though not put on by the school, we should still honor the fact that schools are weapons free. Lightsabers only. (Not to mention it gives us Sith Lords better odds)

The Utah Symphony is playing the music of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back with the movie playing on the screen above them. These are wildly popular performances and Lucas Film Limited has requested that we provide troopers for this performance.
As we have learned in the previous performance of Star Wars: A New Hope, we will be in the lobby and outside, interacting with guests as they arrive. We need to leave the lobby by 6:45 pm so guests can get seated as the performance starts at 7:00 pm. We will need spotters to help guests line up for pictures and cut them off when it approaches 6:45 pm.
As these events also are on the same days as FanX and our FanX dinner, please schedule your time wisely. We will need costumed characters are both locations.
There will be a secure changing location at the Symphony or you can walk over from FanX, if you are already kitted up. This is an official LFL event, so LFL rules apply. No costume modifications.
