The Great Texas Build-Off 2009

This past weekend I was in Dallas Texas attending the 2nd Annual Texas Build-Off for all Robots and Droids at JerryC's home. As always it was a blast! There were 3-B9's, several R2's, Robby, Gort, C3PO, Battle Droid, Pit Droid, Mouse Droids and parts from all the various Robots and Droids were scattered all everywhere in Jerry's house. The event was broadcast live over the web all three days. On Saturday, The Voice of the Robot Mr. Dick Tufeld logged on and chatted with the group for an hour and told us his behind the scenes experiences. Droid Races were held on Sunday. Everyone had so much fun we are already planning for the 3rd Annual Build-Off next year.

I look forward to reading more about your two blogs. Thanks for stopping by Charlie.

Just glancing over at the moment, I agree with you, your site is right up my alley.

I shall return.

Oh and I plan on reviewing the Lost In Space series in the very near future as soon as I have completed Babylon 5. So stay tuned. It should be a nostalgic laugh and good fun to look back at one of the best.
