Time for the big event of the year for little R2!

Time to help raise money for battling child cancer!

R2 and his friend are part of an attraction at the Scandinavian Science Fiction and Gaming Convention. Tonight, we set it all up, and here are a few teaser pics…

Jimmy’s R5-D4, Sigge’s R2-D2, Nixon’s R2-D2 and finally my own little friend on the right!

Such a nice display!

All ready for the convention!

Hello all!

Took my R2 out again today to yet another outing. This time a big breakfast with quite a few of my business friends, and naturally R2 was a big hit!

R2 arrived at the scene in a taxi adopted for wheelchairs(!) An excellent means of transportation as it was only to fold down the ramp, roll him in and strap on the seatbelt!

I managed to get a pic of me with R2, which seems to be a rarity these days..

A lot of people wanted to see him, asked questions about him and took pictures of him. Business as usual! =)

Many people don’t realize this, but R2 is a natural when it comes to mingling..

A bit disappointed that the pitchers only contained juice, and no motor oil, R2 soon started to look for other things to do…

.. roamed around the room for a while.. posed for pictures a lot..

.. and finally managed to find a millionaire in the room!

Marco Koslowski from Canada asked R2 to pose with him in a picture, and R2 graciously agreed.

How could he not? There was an opportunity to get his picture taken … again!

Being slightly grumpy after the apparent lack of motor oil, R2 decided it was time to head on home.

On the way, he did meet a young fan, and being the nice droid he is, stayed around to chat with the young fan for a while outside Gallerian in Stockholm.

All in all, a good day in R2’s life! 😀
