Weekend

The Invaders..In Color! I got a big signed Roy in the mail today! #monday #funday #Roythinnes

Lyle thought Afam was great and couldn't believe how Burt looks now

Sorry to hear about Lyle! This photo was taken 2 years ago on St. Patrick's day 🍀 We sat next to each other at the Hollywood show. He is in our Frosty book too 😞 #lylewaggoner

I want to Thank everyone that came out to The Hollywood Show Saturday!

 This was my view from my booth!   I really had a good time and glad to see so many Rankin/Bass fans come out!   I was sitting next to Cussack and he left abruptly around 2 pm....not sure what happened just yet.   Lots of people were talking about it.   Anyway, I had a really good time!

Mancow stopped by my booth Saturday. He is back on WLS and had Dawn Wells on his show prior to the Hollywood Show. I was a guest on The Mancow Show several times over the years in different Chicago studios.

And Mary Ann...... Dawn Wells was at The Hollywood show in my area

The Hollywood Show Chicago was a smash!

One Week from today!

2019 Tour Schedule

Another grand slam out of the ballpark on Spring ahead Sunday at TOYZ N' COSPLAY CON in Oak Lawn!

 The advertising really paid off for Donna (Promoter of this show) and a large crowd attended!   I met so many local Rankin/Bass fans who have been to some of my other shows and they all have their DVRs set for April 7th at 9 pm on ME TV!   

 

I thought this Mickey Costume was great!

 The new venue was tremendous, as was the case with GEEKZ CON too!  Both shows are getting better each time!

 After setting up, we moved to the front of the show to greet the people as they came in!

Thanks to my pal Raul for some much needed help!

Thanks so much to the Oak Lawn area Rankin/Bass fans!   My next appearance is at The Hollywood Show Chicago March 23rd 10 am until 5 pm!   I will be there Saturday only!  See you there with a few new surprises!
