Ashley,
The
501st MALAYSIA-BRUNEI OUTPOST and our members and friends do hang out at MySciFiFan Outpost at Cathay Cineleisure, once a while and don our STAR WARS "bad guy" character suits when the occasion called for it. But as I've posted earlier we own the costumes that you've seen and respond to call for appearances, mainly for
charitable causes and on rare ocassions for the fun of it!
Here is a group picture of the
501st MALAYSIA-BRUNEI OUTPOST and our STAR WARS costume friends posing at the main entrance of Cineleisure on
16 August 2008. That was during the first weekend of the release of
THE CLONE WARS movie :

Snowtrooper Commander)
To introduce a bit more of ourselves, here is the write up
ABOUT the
501st MALAYSIA-BRUNEI OUTPOST that I've prepared and submitted to Jacinta of SPCA Selangor
prior to our appearance in the KL Tower-SPCA
World Animal Day! Event on 2 November 2008 :
