AL and I were previledged to join over 500 kids (and families) for Halloween at Wings Over the Rockies. Two other R2-D2's made it as well, along with Jim's E-WEB uber gun. Everyone played with that! AL stood on his rolling platform holding a bucket of spiders. He even had a couple giant spiders and other creepy crawlies tied to him as his Halloween costume. Kids LOVED that! And everyone, even the big "kids" got to pull a spider ring out of the bucket. I think AL had fun passing out spider rings! We'll be back next year for sure...
Notice, AL has the front PSI light in! Yippeee!
My good friend Meg chumming up to AL.
The MG 501st booth, complete with spider webs. AL was holding the spiders!
Cal's Family Guy Artoo. He's now rolling...
Kathy as the Family Guy Lois. As the jawa, I carried a large jar of Grey Poupon.
AL, Family Guy Artoo, and Jackson's Artoo. Earlier he had a ghost sheet over him. It was soooo cute seeing that Artoo roll around as a ghost collecting candy.
Me, Cal, and Jackson, our teenage wonder.
Jim Shima doing a little saber practice with.... a jawa??? I like how the jawa's blade matched his eyes.
The RMFF table with the famous 3/4 X-wing behind. Harrison Ford finally signed it while he was in town.
The Death Star Pumpkin. Yep, I pulled an all-nighter for this one. I was still seeing dots the next day. LOL
The "gun" is a plastic doohickey from a watering can with a large silver button at the center, all painted a flat black spray paint. Silver duct tape for the panel lines, tiny dots painted on for the windows. (this project was whatever I could find in the garage, plus $2.50 for the pumpkin).
I tried to recreate the trench run using the freebie cardboard minis from CIV. I knew there would be a good use for them some day! Unfortunately, two tie fighters blew up (broke). The Rebel Legion was pleased....
Halloween is sooooo much fun, definitely one of my favorite holidays. Since I had the day off, I went home to pass out leftover candy to the neighborhood kids. I had the pumpkin on the front porch. What happened during the night amazed my neighbors! Everytime a kid came up to the door they would shout for their parents to come up and see the pumpkin. Everyone left some candy for the PUMPKIN!!! I now have a small bagful of candy I took to work on Monday. I really don't know how I'll top this next year.... IDEAS?
p.s. I'm thinking about turning the Death Star into a massive Tantive IV pumpkin bread. I'll try it this weekend.
Until next time,
Jawa Jaka
