Wow what an event for DB516 this was!
It was at the Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island, Our own Ken Deep (Long Island DJ) hosted the event. The NY Jedi opened up the festivities with some lightsaber demonstrations in the main concourse area of the mall. Ray came on next to a cheering packed crowd and talked a bit with Ken Deep about what he has been up to, including his recent role as 'Snake Eyes' in the new G.I. Joe Movie. Ray then mesmerized the crowd with some lightsaber twirling and martial arts moves.
Next Ray moved into the Steiner Sports collectible store to sign autographs and greet his fans.

DB516 stood outside the store in Star Wars costumes and posed for photos with passerbys, raising awareness of Ray Parks presence.

Thanks to Rob Kaos, DB516's event coordinator, for setting up a great event.

The night wasn't over yet. Ray Park and his manager joined DB516 at a local Mexican restaurant for dinner and drinks. Ray is just too cool.

Thanks to Ken Deep for setting that up for us.

I must mention that it was a pleasure to hang out with our newest club members Mark (Chewbacca), Isabelle, and Tashanna.
Everyone had so much fun. --Billy

I'm really sorry that I missed the event. I took a ride out to Montauk but it took longer to get back than I expected due to traffic and having to go at slow speeds through the Hamptons. I still loved riding to Montauk as it was beautiful there and it was nice to see the lighthouse, hear about the history and go through the museum.



I hope I make the next event though.

Hey Mark, You were great and fell right into it perfectly.
I think I also finally met my match in you - of staying-in-the-mask endurance.
Definitly looking forward to hanging out with you and Isabelle moe in the future.
