Local News - Free Presentation & Talk By STAR WARS Actors This Saturday At Jason St.
Howdy!
A few months ago, I happened to be driving on Park Ave. West, right where it
crosses Broadway. The
Denver Rescue Mission
is located just one block further,
and it is not at all unusual to see crowds of homeless people waiting in line
for the hundreds of free meals that they provide each day. What made my journey
past the Mission noteworthy that particular morning was the startling sight
of a seemingly very scared little 5-year-old girl standing in that long line,
clinging to what appeared to be her grandparents. The sight of that little
girl waiting for a donated meal broke my heart, as we raised four beautiful
daughters, and I can only imagine the deprivations that poor child must be
suffering, through absolutely no fault of her own.
I made a vow that day that I would try to work it out during my one-year reign
as Prince Royale 42 of the
Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire to host
at least one charity fundraiser for the
Denver Rescue Mission.
That opportunity
suddenly materialized yesterday, when we received an unexpected e-mail from
J. Trent Adams,
one of two Denver-area fans who were incredibly blessed to be
chosen as the winners of the
STAR WARS: FORCE FOR CHANGE contest
one year ago to be extras in
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS! His e-mail asked if we could set up time when
they could both come to our
Jason St.
location to give a 45-minute presentation
on what it was like to be members of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS cast, and to
share their experiences of what it was like attending the London world premiere
of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS with movie director, JJ Abrams.

My response to this amazing e-mail was to alter the timing of our huge End-of-the
Year Comics and Toy Auction, that we had already scheduled for this upcoming
Saturday morning. We normally begin our exciting comics and toy auctions at
11:30 AM, but I am going to instead give that first hour over to
J. Trent Adams
and
DC Barnes
for their
STAR WARS presentation and Q&A session
. In addition, since
they had asked if we could make their presentation a charitable event, I expanded
upon that premise by donating 30+ of our vintage STAR WARS toys and memorabilia items
to a special STAR WARS auction, with all proceeds from the STAR WARS portion of our
auction going to help the homeless served by the
Denver Rescue Mission.

Here is my new schedule for our special
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS event
being held at
Jason St. this Saturday morning:
11:30 AM - 12:15 PM J. Trent Adams and DC Barnes Speak
12:15 PM - 12:30 PM Q&A Session About The Making Of The Movie
12:30 PM - 1:00 PM Auction Of STAR WARS Toys And Memorabilia
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM Huge End-Of-The-Year Comics and Toy Auction
To be very clear, our special
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS event
is completely free,
and will be set up to be very welcoming to children. We will gently request small
donations of cash and/or STAR WARS items to add to the benefit portion of our auction,
but that is entirely voluntary. In the end, our only goal in hosting this cool event
is to create a very positive and fun day for all the STAR WARS fans of Denver, while
also seeking to help some people in need at the same time. Please do join us this
Saturday morning for this unique
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS event,
and bring your
entire family. Free refreshments will be served!
Happy Collecting!
