“The Rebel Pilot hides in the basement, alone, hoping to
avoid detection at all cost…”
No, that’s not the opening line of the latest X-Wing series
novel -- just me being the first to arrive at a surprise birthday party request
that came in to Great Lakes Base, Ohio Garrison and Rancor Clan this past weekend.
Once the rest of the guys joined me in my underground
hideout/basement, everyone got suited up as quietly as possible. After a while,
Keith’s mom comes downstairs to check if we’re ready. She goes back upstairs and announces that there’s some
“special guests” who’d like to wish Keith a happy birthday; which is our cue to
start heading upstairs.
In case you were wondering how many adult-sized Star Wars characters
can fit in your standard-size living room = the answer is four; yet we somehow
managed to fit six of us in the room!
After the rush of kids and parents taking cell phone
pictures of Keith with all of the Star Wars characters, you can’t come to a kid’s
birthday party without bringing some presents! Bunch of the guys donated various Star Wars coloring books,
toys and Hot Wheels cars for Keith’s birthday. Keith tried on my Rebel Pilot helmet, which went along with
his “Rebels Rule” t-shirt, and checked out one of the Mercs’ blaster
rifle. Then it was time for us to
load up the spaceship and leave Keith and his family to enjoy the rest of his
party.
