My R2's second "official" event was for A.J.'s Family Fun Center's Star Wars day on August 2nd, 2008. He was part of the photo booth area, helping to raise money for the Make A Wish foundation.
Welcome to my blog dedicated to the creation of my very own full-sized R2-D2. When I was 2 years old, my parents took me to see my first movie. That movie was Star Wars: A New Hope. I fell in love with Artoo Deetoo right from the start (I called him Artee Dootoo). I've always wanted my own R2 so in 2002 I joined the R2-D2 Builders' Group and started my long but rewarding process of building my own Artee Dootoo! I hope you enjoy my site.
