Roanoke VA was a little dead at 2AM, found a couple drunk GB fans though.
Pidgeon Forge TN is an awesome tourst area full of museums, aquariums, ripleys believe it or not, and more. We stopped to spend a couple hours in an awesome dionsaur museum.
We stopped in Knoxville TN for lunch on main street, and a walk through worlds fair park.
Early morning cruise in Nashville TN.
The big day, the Ecto4 was #2 of 7 in line following the local GA Ecto. This parade was amazing, 70 busters, 7 Ecto's, and countless excited spectators.
After 1300 miles we arrived in Atlanta for Dragoncon!
We took a cruise around Richmond VA and stopped at the only resturant open at 1AM.
We made a quick stop in Charolette NC for brekfast. The only picture we got was a really nice state rocking chair.
We stopped at the giant peach water tower in Gaffney SC
The ambitious trip to take the Ecto-4 and entire NJGB team to Dragoncon in Atlanta GA begins!
The Ecto takes a pit stop to drive around Baltimore MD.
We were guests on the online radio show Nightwatch. We had a great conversation about costuming, what we do, and how we started.

We once again joines Calm Effects in Rio Grande to support a community member in need.
We took the Ecto-4 out to Madison county to help fundraise for their library. Kids had a chance to hop in and take a look around the ecto. As a special prize, we even gave one raffle winning family a ride around town.
Underbelly presented a collection of retro movie Trailers at the Tilton 9, and the NJGB was present to greet those attending and fundraise for the American Cancer Society.
The Ecto-4 and Ecto-MCU joined the Strathmete 4th of July parade. Beautiful day with a great turnout.
The NJGB and Philly GB's teamed up to rock the baseball stadium for the first annual GB night at the Wilmington Blue Rocks
We took the Ecto up to Allentown PA for Artifest, neat day of artisans including everything from watchmakers to civil war re-enactors.
The NJGB attended wizard world and had the opportunity to meet Ernie Hudson. He was fantastic, taking the time to chat with us, pose for photos, and sign the Ecto's visor.
The NJGB participated in the Relay for life in Manahawkin NJ. We raised nearly $250 for the cause, and had our booth present for the kids.
The NJGB were on hand with the Rebel Legion and 501st for the grand opening of Captain's Comics.
4 Members of the NJGB were invited to attend the VIP grand opening of the Ignis Fatuus Ghost Ship haunted attraction at Morey's Pier in Wildwood NJ.
The NJGB took a much needed night to relax and have some fun. The perfect opportunity arose when we won 4 free passes to Boogie Nights Halfway to Halloween party from 95.1 WAYV.
With 4 busters, we took to the dancefloor and won the 80's themed costume contest!

This was an unbelieveable night. The screening was sold out, and the fans were in very high spirits. The NJGB had 6 busters present, and we were recieved like rockstars as we entered the theatre!

The NJGB setup our Ecto-4 and booth with games for the kids at the Middlesex County College Arthritis walk. It was a beautiful day, and we had a lot of fun with the kids, and kids at heart!

The NJGB took part in the 25th annual Doo Dah Day Parade in Ocean City. This is our second appearence, and as always we were very well recieved.
The NJGB attended our first zombie crawl. We escaped unscathed. Mostly...

We took the Ecto-4 A.T.A.C. into NYC for the remainder of the day. Visited Dana Barrets apartment, Castle Kildarby in Central Park, the firehouse, Times Square, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
Dreams do come true, the NJGB made a trek to Woodbridge NJ were we met Dan Aykroyd. He liked and signed the truck, and complimented the girl's pack. After the signing we made a contact with the Arthritis Foundation who we will be helping later in the year.
On our way home from wickedfaire we came across the remains of Timmy Snow, a 20' snow monster made a from a past blizzard.
Our debut event was WickedFaire, where we again were promised to be on display, but sadly were instead parked in an auxiliary lot a quarter mile from the event.
The NJGB proudly unveil the Ecto-4 A.T.A.C.! Ready for busting in all terrains and all conditions, the newly overhauled truck is much more capable, professional, and fun!
After our Christmas events concluded, the NJGB declared a holiday hiatus. While we had no public appearances, we were extremely busy behind closed doors completely overhauling the Ecto-4, with upgrades to the truck, a new roof rack, and all new vehicle graphics.
The NJGB were fortunate to attend a Toys for Tots collection with the USMC, Rebel Alliance Jedi, and US Army. The weather was sour for the toy drive, but we buckled down and rode it out. Well worth it to hear anecdotes from the marines who had been on assignment in prior years to help distribute the toys we collected.
We were rained out at the last minuite on this one. The parade grounds were a bit moist.
Rained out again.
A modest parade, we had fun busting the ghost of X-mas past. Unfortunately it seems the ghost costume was a bit too scary, so it will not be returning in the future.
This was a fun night time parade domonated by public safety vehicles. The Ecto-4 fit right in with lights flashing and sirens wailing. We managed to take home a huge 1st place trophy for our class in this parade.

We were proud to help out 102.7 JSE again with their operation Hope. This year we were able to double our donation from 2008, stuffing the back seat of the Ecto-4 with food and clothing. Here's to doubling again in 2010!
Philcon is a Science Fiction convention we were invited to by an online contact. A smaller event, it drew in several scientists who hosted a variety of very interesting panels. Saturday night held a costume contest, which we did rather well in.
The NJGB attended a 2 day fundraiser at Calm Effects Therapeutic Massage in Rio Grande NJ. We worked with two Jedi from the Rebel Alliance in a photo booth to raise funds for two local individuals with medical needs. The weather was sour the first day, but day two was fantastic.
This was the largest Halloween parade around. A crowd of 100,000 was very receptive to the Ecto, but rain ended the evening a bit early. Sadly the parade was a bit disorganized so we were an "unregistered entry", but it was a good time nonetheless.
On the way home from the Halloween Party the NJGB stopped by Spirit Halloween at the Shore Mall for their all night Halloweenathon. There was a descent crowd at mignight, and we managed to pickup a few halloween goodies at 30% off.
We were invited to a Halloween party hosted at the Hard Rock Cafe in Atlantic City by the crew at 102.7 JSE Rocks. A great time was had with some fantastic costumes. Our very own Jess won Sexiest costume in her ghostbuster gear, so we went home with a oack of concert tickets.
