Okay, but it has to be real U.S. money, not just Tatooine space credits.
Irony. You're soaking in it.

Here's the thread:

I want in too, but only if I don't get swamped with my own projects. I mean, I just acquired a Mrs. Bucky and a young Bucky for my proposed installation just today! Minus shipping time, but I am very excited. So is Bucky.

my friend and went everywhere looking for the perfect lightsabers , not realising that they would be handing them out for everyone. i had so much fun and i wore my long dress and cloak and some kids kept attacking me and poked me in the eye and i loved every minute of it. well maybe not the eye poking. but i did see a real cutie and wished i had stopped to ask his name instead of stopping to kill him with my lightsaber.....
just because a man dies for it doesnt make it true

Glad you all liekd it.

It was an amazing thing to do. I gave much time and effort to create the 10,000 light saber giveaway. And the tradition will continue.

I am passing the baton to a new group next year. So there will be changes in the format and the action, hopefully for the better.

Please bring your light sabers next year. There are more and more battles to fight!

no, but if you want a bucketfull of those little plastic battery tabs that people pulled off the light saber and threw down on the ground I have them...we were the nieghbors who cleaned up the mess :)

maybe next year whoever is doing this can find some way to make sure the little plastic tab thingys don't end up as moop?
