Premiere of The Phantom Menace in 3D at Nova kino

Trondheim kino contacted us to do a troop for the release of Star Wars - Episode 1: The Phantom Menace in 3D.

Me and Aiwei stood inside the theatre with a picture of the Death Star corridors on the screen and a soundloop of Death Star hum and trooperchatter playing in the background. The rest of the troopers were in the entrance hall welcoming people and taking pics.

A short and sweet troop, and at the end the employees thanked us for our service and some swag was given out by drawing ticket stubs out of a helmet and the winner being picked at random.

Release of Street-magazine Natt & Dag at BrukBar

Natt & Dag had done an article on Mads Eriksen and Nordic Garrison, and had him on the cover.
We were asked to troop at a pre-release at my workplace february 2., so I arranged a small troop.
Here is a link to the article itself (in Norwegian): http://nattogdag.no/artikler/5423/stormflo

We ended up being 10 troopers, well over what the manager initially had envisioned when he first asked me if we might get a few troopers to maybe stand guard. We swamped the place!
Around 20:00 we took a freight-elevator from downstairs to up, and got a photographer to take a group-photo of us before entering BrukBar, the same photographer was there on other official business but followed us most of the time, taking lots of photos, which will be made available to us.

The troop went great, and we had two Sandtroopers awaiting approval having their first troop, both of which looked great, and had a good time. :D

The only "major" task we had was to hand out editions of the paper Natt & Dag, but the paper was late, and didn't arrive until 21:50 (or thereabouts), so we ended up waiting around for it and when it eventually came, we got a few editions each and handed them out to other guest, then we slowly retreated back to our chamber of solitude.

Another thing to note was that there was a great deal of people that are very active on twitter that attended the event, and twitter went wild the couple of hours we were there, official 501st even re-tweeted a video that was filmed at the beginning of the troop when we were outside taking photos with guests: "501st Legion in Trondheim looking for some droids": http://youtu.be/S3XUgvcplcU

All in all a great troop with a lot of exposure!
