BikerScout007 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Hey Pathfinders! We are getting closer and closer to SWCC and details finally seem to be solidifying on the photo. The 501st Legion photo will take place on SUNDAY April 14 at 9am. Details about the location may be found here: https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=215&t=102127 PATHFINDERS PHOTO: FRIDAY, 10AM ON THE STAIRS PATHFINDERS MEETUP: FRIDAY NIGHT SWAG TRADE The heart indicates where the stairs for the photo are located. But again, I am open to your suggestions. So please feel free to post your thoughts, and if you are from the Chicago area, feel free to fill in some of our knowledge gaps. 2
Darth Voorhees Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 The wife decided she DOES want to go to Celebration now, so we are trying to get enough cash together to cover the pricey hotel. If that happens i will see you there! Not bringing any costumes this time though, but would still love to get to the Pathfinder meet up if it happens! 1
Barber Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 It really does make sense to do the photo sometime after the legion and LOTL photos. Would it be too difficult for us to try to get inside to where the Endor bunker is like in Orlando? And I love the idea of some sort of get together for our detachment! You can count me in.

If everyone wants to do the photo inside (I heard there is a bunker again this year) that is totally fine. However, some folks (like me....cough cough) don't have a con ticket for that day, so you'll have to Photoshop me into the pic 1
Barber Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 I have a feeling it would be easier to move the bunker outside than to sneak you in. lol 3
Shortstack Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 *Oh no im looking at things for the Hangout!* Alright here is what i found... Lot of Bars and stuff around the area however looked at the placed called "ARC BAR" which is right inside the Hyatt. Address: 2233 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Chicago, IL 60616 Hours: 11am - Closes 12AM (Times change also to season) Seating Capacity: 184, Patio 86 Liked by Vegans : Yes Liked by Vegetarians: Yes Takes Reservations: No Take-out: Yes Accepts Credit Cards: Yes Parking: Valet, Garage, Street Bike Parking : Yes Wheelchair Accessible: Yes Good for Kids: No (it IS a bar...) Good for Groups: Yes Good For Dancing : No (good cause i got 2 left feet) Alcohol: Full Bar Good For Happy Hour: No (but with us there its always happy hour!) Smoking: Outdoor Area / Patio Only Outdoor Seating: Yes Wi-Fi: Free Has TV: Yes Waiter Service: Yes MENU DOWNLOAD: https://www.hyatt.com/content/dam/hotel/propertysites/assets/regency/chimc/documents/en_US/dining/arc-bar/AB-Factsheet.pdf Only bad thing i see is it is a little pricey but idk... seems pretty normal for a bar also. (i mean Blarney stone around here is same price so!) Pictures of it look pretty nice and large also 1
BikerScout007 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 I think it would be wise to stay inside the Hyatt. It would be convenient for most people. Especially with the swag trade happening. The swag area is supposed to have bars in it too! We could probably all just meet there. 4
TINMAN Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 We have A LOT of really cool places here in Chicago that we could meet up, Dinner or lunch. Also there are a few places we could walk to get some really great pics. Let me know and i can "Scout" it out this weekend. 2

BikerScout007 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 Okay folks I have signed us up for Friday 11:30am photo on the stairs https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zLoaEPL4wbcUFPZw-Ae4l2qRqtr1OWwF35lnMJ02Hpk/edit#gid=42641162 We can try to get one at the bunker too, but I don't want to exclude anyone (like myself) who may not have a ticket for the con that day. Sigh....why did they have to pick Friday? 4
Shortstack Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I like the stairs idea show some city love there 2
pean12 Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Howdy all. Is the photo shoot limited to folks with full costume only? I'm picking up my Patrol trooper bucket on Thurs but I don't have the full costume. I have the detachment racing shirt... Anyway, it's ok if it's limited to just full costume. 1

We can try to squeeze in a photo of all members, costume or not, but we may be pressed for time as there are other Detachments before and after us waiting for their photo shoot.
Chopper Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 By the way, I have a Pathfinders Detachment flag from the run they did on the legion board last year. Should I bring it for the group photo? 1

Darth Voorhees Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 We are definitely going to be there now! So i will find you guys at the swag trade... or anywhere we all meet up. (i'll keep checking this thread for any changes) If you do an "all members costume or not" photo, id like to make that as well. I'll be sure to wear my Pathfinders shirt that day See you all there! 2

Yes please do. I'll be sporting my new Pathfinders baseball shirt 1
Rogue1138 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 FYI, the group pic might be directly against the Episode IX panel. Good news is that it's a virtual queue this year and everyone will know before hand if you got into the panel or not.

Yeah that's an unfortunate side effect of having all the photos scheduled for Friday. They had a no-win situation when trying to pick a time so someone was going to be unhappy. 1

This is my first Celebration so I wanted to do the big panel at least once but I really wanted to do all the group shots too. Least with the lottery system I'll be heading into SWCC with a clear plan what I can attend. 1

But again, I am open to your suggestions. So please feel free to post your thoughts, and if you are from the Chicago area, feel free to fill in some of our knowledge gaps. Can you Change the time of PATHFINDERS PHOTO? Because the Panel of Episode IX is same time...
