Was asked to appear for a niece and nephew's birthday party. They have both had to deal with family hardships and their Aunt thought a little Star Wars for thier party would cheer them up. This was a last minute troop, and the host was extremely happy when i contacted her. I suited up in a back bedroom, while the kids were playing downstairs. meanwhile one of the adults downloaded the imperial march on their phone, and played it as i came down the stairs. The children were beyond excited and the 2 girls began jumping up and down yelling there was a real Stormtrooper in their house. I answered a few questions about the armor and blaster, and hammed it up for photos. Then I went upstairs to pose for some photos with the adults. earlier in the afternoon, they had celebrated their parents 45th anniversary. After wishing the children a happy birthday, and the parents a happy anniversary, I returned to the back bedroom and suited down. I was invited to join them for food and cake, but I a prior engagement, so i thanked them and departed. The aunt thanked me again and again, and then handed me a blank check for $50 to write out to whatever charity I choose.
