Star Wars Exhibit: I

I guess I’ll blog about Star Wars.

There are some perks to being on a nerdy high school robotics team, and that is - we got free admission into OMSI and the Star Wars exhibit. The catch was we had to actually be present at the robot scrimmage for a few hours. That time moved quickly. Cielle and I wandered around OMSI getting free passage most everywhere. We smashed Einstein’s head onto a penny, gawked at the crazy shit in the gift shop, smiled at OMSI staff, and generally had a blast. OMSI was our bitch.

In the fun-land Star Wars exhibit on display were models and costumes used in the various episodes. My favorite had to be the Millennium Falcon, surrounded by glass and hanging by thin wires to simulate it flying. Awesome to the extreme. Check out Our Flickr to see some Star Wars props. While waiting in line for a “meeting with C-P30” a cool staff member with a purple vest over a red-stripped sweater started to talk about the robotics scrimmage and R2D2. He was holding a little Lego® robot scorpion. The scorpion could sense things in front of it and then “sting you”. So we enjoyed this entertainment for a few minutes.

Later we saw the same guy again in the food court. He waved to us as though we knew him, and told us that the Portobello mushroom sandwich was excellent, but he got it with tomatoes not onions…then we bought nachos beans and rice instead, poor guy, he probably felt insulted. “They didn’t get the mushroom sandwich!!”

At the gift shop I bought a voice transformer. Cielle bought Star Wars tattoos and freeze-dried ice cream (have you eaten that yet?) I think it was the ice cream cookie kind.

Oh yay, here comes thanksgiving and all its great food. Enjoy it everyone!!!
