Saint George Spirits Special Forces Take Gallifrey by Storm!

[kproche]

Last weekend at The Eighteenth Amendment of Gallifrey One britgeekgrrl, bovil and I debuted the Saint George Spirits Special Forces TAC* Squad uniforms. A full convention report will be forthcoming, but in the meantime here are some snapshots.

Many thanks to St. George Spirits for letting us use their (copyrighted and trademarked, no doubt) Semper Imbibo artwork for the SGSSF. The Dragon wrapped around the cross of St George included in that artwork is also their legal property. The TAC Squad insignia is copyright KPRoche, as are the Up, Whiskey and Absinthe departmental patch designs

*Tactical Alcohol Consumption.

	hard at work and on duty at Friday's League of Evil Geniuses Hall of Fame party
	Fortunately, we really like our mission!
	The SGSSF TAC Squad 21 back on the job at the Sunday post-convention pub party
	No, really hard at work :-)
	Check out the martini glass insignia on the beret flash (oh, and don't miss the Semper Imbibo patches)
	OK, now you can see all 3 berets
	The other side of drniking... and, of course, a view of the TAC Squad insignia and branch patches

Oh... I think that picture has a certain intoxicated charm to it. You can keep it up.

Thanks for posting these. Mind if I do a pointer post to this one from my own LJ?

[kproche.livejournal.com]

Not in the least. That's why this is a public post. We can point the St George folks at it too

[finickynarcane.livejournal.com]

This looks like so much fun. I want to play, too. I'm afraid there are too many reasons why I can't, though. Not the least of which is that cats bury me when I wear grey.

[neo-serenity.livejournal.com]
