Success and Dragon taming

In my last post I was worried about getting my new graphics printed and installed. Well, at the last minute I was able to get my graphics printed by a local company, got them installed and off we went to the Dragon! We picked up the graphics at 9am, had them installed by 11:00am and was on the road by lunch time.
Had another fantastic time at the Dragon and got one good run in Thursday morning. Pictures coming soon.
And oh yeah, May The Fourth Be With You!

1 day away

1 day away from The Dragon & I'm *almost* ready. The car is washed, the clothes are packed, but I'm still lacking new graphics. And I still have to clean the inside of the car. Ack.
I'm working on getting the graphics done today and hopefully will have a good update soon!
In the meantime, I know for sure we'll see everyone tomorrow evening at the Way Motor Works tent tomorrow at Fontana!

Ho Ho Ho!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my friends out there. Here's a look back at some of the holiday adventures of Darth Cooper. Over the last few years I've had the honour of participating in the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Christmas Parade. This year I wasn't able to join in due to work commitments. The parade is a wonderful event that helps raise money for Children's Hospital here in Atlanta. If you're interested in helping out this year, click the link.

Star Wars in Concert!

Tonight I get to go to a show that combines two of my favourite things. Star Wars and music. Star Wars in Concert is a travelling road show that was 4 years in the making. Featuring newly edited footage from all six films, an 86 piece orchestra and the narration of Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), it makes for a great night for any fan! Custom screens will allow everyone in the arena to have a good view of the movie footage.
John Williams; who scored the films, is not conducting, but accomplished conductor, Dirk Brosse is taking the helm for the show.
In addition to the orchestra, choir and giant screens, there is also an exhibit that is available for the public to see. Props from the films as well as some pieces from the archives of Skywalker Ranch will be on display 2 hours prior to the show.
When I checked this morning there were still good seats available, so if you're a Star Wars fan, check it out!

Almost time for DragonCon!

DragonCon is less than a week away now. I won't be driving in the parade this year, but I feel okay about that. Every year that I am in the parade, I miss out on panels in the morning. Besides, this is probably my last year to go since they've made Labor Day a lottery at work starting next year. :-(
I'll be updating after the Con & will have some pictures to post too.
That's all for now...

90k

Hit 90,000 miles today. Wow. I drive too much.

Porsche??

Just went and looked at an 87 Porsche 944. I say looked because I couldn't drive it. No battery. :-(
Mario, the sales guy, is going to get a battery & check the Porsche database for the records. Fingers crossed!
