Rocha-chatter

The two nerdling worlds of Star Wars and stamp collecting have collided in the City of Rochester at the corner of State and Main.

Hundreds of U.S. Postal Service blue collection boxes were transformed into R2-D2 look-alikes to promote the partnership between the Postal Service and Lucasfilm Ltd. Rochester got one downtown.

I have to admit it. My little geeky heart skipped a beat when I heard that they were coming out with Star Wars stamps this year. The Artoo mailboxes were gravy.

Of course I had to track down Rochester's Artoo. And have my picture take with him. And then send my picture to the Artoo Spotters gallery. (at least I didn't go in costume!)

I am reveling in my dorkiness.
