20 Years Ago Today

On April 3, 2005, I went to Walmart in Anaheim, CA to purchase their Star Wars Episode 5 promotional product, a replica of the Kenner Early Bird set of action figures. I didn't know that some Star Wars characters were going to be there. And I certainly didn't know R2-D2 would be there, with his creator, Mike Senna.

Thanks to Mike, I was able to build two droids of my own, and become friends with many wonderful people in the droid building community. I've also had amazing opportunities I never would have dreamed of, most of which are documented in this blog (but not all of them, NDAs and such...). So thank you Mike, I'm eternally grateful for having met you that day.
