I'M NOT ALONE IN MY GEEKERY

I'm a star wars fan. Like from since infancy. I blame my pappy. He got me hooked. (he's a fan too) So imagine my joy when i was made aware of this:

Star Wars Uncut - Scene 400 from r2witco on Vimeo.

This is the kind of thing i'd do if i had more time and imagination and skills. I'm a big fan of stop motion animation, and you guys already know about my Star Wars obsession (and if you don't know now you know) watching this has just made my night.

Speaking of Star Wars - Did you know that there was a concert tour to launch in the upcoming months?

(click the pic)

Yes, my heart is a flutter too. A full symphony orchestra, music from all six of the films AND a giant LED that will display scenes from the movie in time with the orchestra. A fanboy(or girl's) dream! Right now the tourdates are only listed for the west coast (BOOO), but best believe that if and when they get to my part of town I will be in attendance. I might even toss my draws at the bassoonist.

Oh, you didn't know i was a star wars nerd? lemme give you a sample:

This is my keychain. Yes i have one of those obnoxious keychains with lots more gewgaws than actual keys. But nevermind that. See those figures there? From left to right: Bobba Fett, Princess Leia*, (the letter A, souvenir from when i holidayed in St. Thomas) R2-D2 and of course Darth Vader. So far these are the only keychain figures i have found. I'd love to find a han solo and a greedo. Maybe a stormtrooper. Oh... luke would be nice too. I have other stuff (not key chain related - but definitely all about Star Wars. ( but i'll spare you guys that... for now)

*ignore leia's face please. It has a bluish cast because of an ink pen that exploded in my bag. Yeah. All of my pocketbooks have ink in the bottom because they all have been the victim of exploding pens. Its my signature. You can always tell its my bag because of the ink stain in the lining.
