RoboCon 2008- Sunday's Log

Sundays started out to be a little slower and layed back than Friday or Saturday, but that changed around 10:00am. It got really crazy real fast and the hi-lite of the entire convention for us was just around the corner.... On Saturday I met Ann Lockhart and got her autograph. We talked about her Mother, June, who starred in Lost in Space. I invited her up to the Robot Room to see our replica Robots from Lost in Space since her Mother wasn't one of the StarFest Guests. She said she would love to and if she could get away she would. Well she didn't show up Saturday so I kind of figured she wouldn't make it. Around 3:00pm she walked into the Robot Room, waved, and came over to our display area. She looked at the Robots for a couple of minutes and said she was amazed at how beautiful and amazing they were. Well I don't know about Greg, but I was practically bustin' buttons! She stayed about 20 to 25 minutes talking to us about Battlestar Galactica, the original TV series and then she posed for pictures with our Robots and us. It a fantastic time and she was absolutely marvelous!

Looks like you guys had a good time. Nice to see B9 was visited by Santa. You should have brought your Batman to assist in crowd control.

Hey Jim, We did have a blast and it was very very busy!! I wish you and Yvonne could find your way up here sometime. I would love to have you guys. I don't have the Robots you do....yet! LOL Santa, Vader, Wookie, Storm Trooper, even the convenvtion producer stopped by and said he heard from several people about our Robots and had to come see them. He was blown away.
