NOVEMBER!

NOVEMBER is here and busier than ever for me! Lots of planning going into the CHICAGO appearances of RUDOLPH & SANTA! I heard from RICH KOZ (Chicago's SVENGOOLIE) and he let me know that on SATURDAY, November 25th on WCIU ch. 26 The U and ME-TV he will be showing the film DRACULA'S DAUGHTER. He will be showing a clip at the end of the show that will feature our SANTA CLAUS (Tom Frederick) and our www.timeandspacetoys.com booth from this past August at the WIZARD WORLD CON! We did do some interviews at the booth and there were cameras rolling BUT we had no idea what shows they would be on. We had alot of fun at the CON! THANKS Rich!

ILLINOIS ENTERTAINER 'Around Hear' REVIEW of RICK GOLDSCHMIDT SINGS!

Cleverly designed to look like an old 7-inch, Rick Goldschmidt’s debut, Rick Goldschmidt Sings (Miser Bros.), is a slick, modern rock album similar to Gin Blossoms’ (a band he lists in the liner notes) debut. If anything, Goldschmidt displays greater guitar acumen, paying tribute to ’70s classic rock with melodic leads (”The Last Time (Tennis Song)”) and showing a knack for pop sweetness (”Brand New Love”). “Baby Song” finds him strumming a winsome, lilting folk tune with equal verve.

RUDOLPH on CBS November 30th!

The CBS website states RUDOLPH will air Wednesday November 30th (BUT November 30th is a Thursday). I am pretty sure it will air ON the 30th! Hopefully more NEWS shows will pick up the original ANIMAGIC figures' visit to CHICAGO on the 24th! Then it is on to PITTSBURGH the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd. December 8th will see the opening of their visit to the CENTER OF PUPPETRY ARTS in Atlanta, Georgia. You may also be interested in reading my updates at www.tvparty.com .

RANKIN/BASS NEWS!

The NEWS at www.rankinbass.com is getting caught up THANKS to MARK SYKORA! AND no...looks like THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS is not coming out on DVD...WARNER BROTHERS dropped the ball on a box set. I talked with FOX MORNING NEWS and they are interested in having us on the day after THANKSGIVING as well! We need to work the timing out. My book THE MAKING OF THE RANKIN/BASS CLASSIC: RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (MISER BROS PRESS) is still available at www.amazon.com and www.rankinbass.com and will soon be available at BARNES & NOBLE. I am trying hard to get my first book THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS: A PORTFOLIO into a 3rd printing! I listed some more RANKIN/BASS archive CDs on EBAY under seller ANIMAGIC1 the other day. More NEWS to come! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
