Spartans, B9's, and Borgs! OH MY!!

The Mountain Con staff with both B9's, and AL in the middle.

Mountain Con was a blast! Literally! The fan tables had every fan group imaginable and a geophysicist talking about the Apollo missions at his booth. As usual, I spent way too much in the Dealers room, racking up a lovely peacock fan for my lady pirate outfit, a mini Harry Potter broomstick which I won for answering trivia questions, and of course, the ubiquitious SW minis (a booster box of Alliance and Empire). Just can't resist those!!

R2-AL had his very own table right at the entrance. He was the first thing you saw. Well, maybe second. As you entered the lobby of the gorgous Davis County Convention Center, the very first thing you saw was the gigantanormous life-size Stargate! The only thing standing between AL and the Gate were the B9's. Charlie Garcia and Greg Logue brought there B9's, and the three of us had a great time! Greg's "Robot" (just Robot) was the picture in the local Sunday paper. He autographed my copy, hehe.

Here's some pics for ya:
The gigantenormous Stargate.


Greg, Charlie, and the B9's heading through the gate into unknown worlds.
Close-up of the Gate. It says Mountain Con at the top.
Yep, that's AL greeting everyone at the door. Had the R2 BC website up on the laptop for everyone to play with. The Dancing Hasbro Interactive R2-D2's were also a big hit - kids loved 'em!

Speaking of kids, here's a couple of cuties trying to figure out what the heck he is.

R2-AL in all his best con glory with open arms to the public. Lookin' good!

Here's a hot lookin' B9 saying hi to all the con-goers. AL and Robot actually got along. I think they're friends now.

AL gets a helping hand from the Doctor. Vital signs are normal...

Robot, however.... Yep, that's my "Robot Building for Dummies". Even the Doctor needs a good reference once in awhile!

Maybe Robot's problems are really caused by the Jawa. hehe Greg did his best to protect both B9's.

In the meantime, look who's protecting AL!

The entire Empire completely trusts him! Little do they know he's a Rebel spy.

The Spartan is here! Guess he's looking for something to blow up, but the SG1 officer is protecting the Gate.

Hey, what's with this!? They both want to blow up AL?
And now the Empire is in on this? Who told everyone about my spy business? Yikes! Will I survive for the next con?

Until next time,

WOW! R2-AL's first Youtube! Thanks for sharing this with me. I apologize for not being there while you were filming. I think I was still putting the skins together when you came by. Next year, definitely I'll be back and he should be moving by then.
