My Panel schedule so far at DRAGON CON
Here is my tentative panel schedule for DRAGON CON in Atlanta at the end of the month! Did I mention 85,000 people attended last year? My discussion/podcast will be available soon. Each panel is attended by hundreds of people, so come early! I think this is the biggest convention I have ever done! I have only heard GREAT things about it, so I am looking forward to meeting everyone! #dragoncon #atlanta #rankinbass -------------------

My late friend Dick Beals was the voice of Speedy and so many other of my favorite characters! I am glad I recorded many of our interviews. He was even the Singing voice for The Little Drummer Boy and we featured him in our 20th Anniversary book! Late in life, Dickie sold one of the original Speedy figures to a friend of mine and we have been talking about taking him to a convention or two! #alkaseltzer #speedyalkaseltzer #advertisingcharacter
