CV Day 4: Means to a Greater End

On this last day of CV I spent about an hour and a half as Jawa Jaka getting photo op time. So, most of these are the jawa. Of course, a few more from the droid room as well, and a fare-thee-well salute to all who made the R2 Droid room at CV a spectacular sight to behold.

Around the droid room:







Fun with Jaka:





The Jawa Jaka Collector's Edition Action Pack (slightly used, missing parts):

And the Special Limited Edition Boba Fett Double Pack:

Great things come in small packages:

A Fond Farewell, and a toast to all those who came.

Artoo packin' up and movin' out (or heading to another great scifi con!)

Final thoughts: I can't understand the lady who posted on the astromech forums how terrible our setup/takedown, planning, events, etc was. Having gone to numerous events/cons this was the absolute best con I've ever attended!! The droid room, and the con itself, couldn't have been smoother. CV was leaps and bounds better than CIV due to Reed Productions and their attention to detail. The R2 room couldn't have been better due to all the builders and Wayne's guidance. I met a lot of people, friends that I only knew by their online board names. Now they are really part of my family. I coudn't have found a better group of people to be with, and I'm proud to call myself a member of the R2 Builders Club.

See you all at CVI!!! Can't wait....

CV Day 3

Pics from Day 3. I spent most of Saturday morning at the R2-KT booth. She was out and about, nowhere to be seen (maybe recuperating from the 501st bash?). Yes, I promised the bash first, but I already had this list of pics to post, so here goes nothing! What made this day so fantastic was my brother Len coming up from Miami just to see the droids. He was overwhelmed and amazed, as so many were, taking dozens of pics on his Droid phone, not just of droids but of everything he could (including every TK helmet in the project) . Fitting, don't you think?

Setup for the official droid photo shoot. Rachel found some really cute Artoo blue and silver Mickey ears for her droid, too cute for words!




Since I was in the droid room all of Saturday afternoon, AL got pics with just about every shady character that came through the doors.




Wampa at my door! And Vader, too! Thanks to Lawrence for being our Hoth Luke!

Who knew the Wampa was Steve Samsweet? LOL (not really) He got a thrill pulling the door symbol off, though.


And a couple of Slave Leia's cooling off...

Other pics around the droid room and con:

The Mauls, one of my favorite photos! It's all about being in the right place at the right time...

At the end of a long day, the only good pic I got of the R2 BC dinner at the Ale House. It was so wonderful having my brother join us:

More pics coming soon.
