Okay. This one's the biggie. As we were invited in order
to bring our droid, we spent quite a bit of time with Kenny and the
droid even more time. So... Suffice it to say, that's what most of
the pics are of.
We rolled him into the room (R2 not Kenny) in three wheel
mode and then went to 2 for his presentation on stage. Kenny just
loved him. He constantly used him for a visual aid.
Kenny thrilled us by complimenting the droid constantly,
but when Jeremy came on stage to interview Kenny he started to
interview the droid. <sigh> Happy people we were.
To make things better, Kenny agreed to do a bunch of
photos with Martin and I and R2. We were on such a high.
Then the highlight. Signing the inside of the droid's back
panel. As we discussed his 'guts' Simon stood near by. 'That's
impressive.' he said. "Does Lucas know about this one?" He smiled at
us both. "I think he does." I cheerily responded. I had written Lucas
a letter, quite a while back, telling him how much I admire him and
what he has done for the film industry. I included my web address and
a note telling him how much of a challenge it has been trying to
build our own R2. So... I guess he does.
