MountainCon 4 in Layton, Utah













Wow, It's almost October!! I have been so busy with preparing the B9 for MountainCon and dealing with some other happenings in real life that it's been a long time since I last posted. Sorry about that. Unfortunately the internal leg supports didn't get completed in time so the Robot's new rubber legs couldn't be installed but several other systems got upgraded. MountainCon 4 is over and it was a blast. Greg and I drove to Utah to attend the convention and display our B9 Robots. We were given tables in the Lobby of the Davis Convention Center and we were suprised to find that R2Builders Club member Lynelle Phillips from Denver had brought her partially completed R2 Astromech Droid and was set up next to us! We were all setup right next to the life size Stargate and it was a beautifull piece of work that greeted fans when they walked in the door. We were very busy as the Robots were a big hit and well remembered from the TV Series. Unfortunately Mark Goddard had to cancel due to personal reasons, but we carried on and had fun anyway. Met a lot of nice fans at this convention and the MountainCon Staff was a pleasure to work with. On Sunday we moved the Robots to the entry of the Stargate and more than a few people came and had their picture taken with the Robots. We had a great time and besides a few minor glitches.the Robots performed great and entertained everyone. Greg and hi Robot even made the front page of the local newspaper!
