FCBD 2009



I think this sign says it all! It was a previlage to hang out with Cal and the rest of the 501st up at Time Warps Comics in Boulder, CO. Once again, AL was a HUGE success as he was the only astromech there. Cal did bring his mouse droid (we dubbed him Rover) to keep AL company. Even though it was pouring rain all day, we had so much fun, even doing a bit of socializing out of costume at the ice cream shop around the corner (just to celebrate a little).


Lots of comic books. AL and I snatched five.


Since Time Warp is kinda off street, some of the 501st went to the street to wave people to the shop. Lots of honking....


The store manager helped AL keep dry (for a few minutes anyway).


Standing guard....


After considerable time under the eaves to keep dry, taking numerous pictures with adoring fans, he finally got his free comic book, a Star Wars one of course!


He held onto that comic for dear life! He was so proud of it....


He shared it with his new friend, Rover.


"AL wants to know if you got your free comic book, honey."


"What do we do with this little thing?" "Ah, just shoot him" Poor Rover!


Everyone had a good time, even the manager.


I actually put on a helmet for the first time. Tight fit, but looks good. AL was still holding onto that darn comic book, even at the end of the day.

Until next time,
