IL-Peoria Child's 6th Birthday Sept 26, 2009

Post by Dirty Scout »

My friend Brad is a huge Star Wars fan and so is his daughter Anna. Anna wanted a Star Wars birthday party and he called to see if we could get Darth Vader and some of his troopers to come to his daughter's birthday party.

Brad had spent weeks making Fun Noodle Lightsabers and creating different hilts for the sabers with duct tape and electrical tape. He had cleaned up his garage and put in blacklights to create an atmosphere for the kids to practice with their lightsabers. After lightsaber training, Brad-dressed in the garb of a jedi knight, brought out the Darth Vader Pinata. We could hear the kids attacking the Pinata as we gathered outside.

The kids went back into the house and the garage opened for us to dress and make our appearance. The final test of all the young jedi would be to face Lord Vader and his troops. When we were finally ready, Brad allowed the children to come to the garage. It was a mixed emotion fronm the young children. Anna, the birthday gal dressed as Padme Amidala, ran off frightened. The young boys finally mustered the courage to approach us. After warming up to the idea of a Sith Lord being with them, the young boys decided to meet and greet Lord Vader and his troops. The best was watching Kyle "That Guy" Dorethy suited up in TK armor getting attacked by Fun Noodle Lightsabers. And then trying to hide behind a fellow TIE Pilot for protection.

I only wish we had video.

There was a $100 donation to the MSABC!

We also made another appearance that evening as we debated in the Old Chicago Restaurant parking lot about crashing a bachelorette party. That's another story and if you want to know the rest, buy the rights. How Bizarre.


In appearance:

David Cooper:SL 3283 Darth Vader
James Noland: TI 7696
Kyle Dorethy: TI Stormtrooper
Kent Heath: TK 1692 Snowtrooper

and watching Kyle trying to shoo them away orswatting at the air like gnats were attacking them-flailing his arms around might be more descriptive.
