After all the weather issues the last couple of weeks I am really looking forward to the Pulp Convention in Bordentown.  Once again  a chance to talk to people who like pulps and other related materials like movie serials, old time radio shows and digital comic books from the Golden and Silver Age.  Hope that everyone who wants to attend will be able to because of the gas situation.  To all my customers please come and support this show.  We have to work to keep shows like this alive so we can all share in our passion for nostalgia and the simpler things in life.  In a world that is so complicated and difficult it is a pleasure to go to these shows and talk to fans of the greatest entertainment in the world.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Halloween will be here before you know it.  For me Halloween has always been a time when I can catch up again with some of my favorite horror movies.  You can never go wrong with the classic Universal horror films like Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman, the Invisible Man, the Creature and so many others like the Black Cat, Raven, and Murders at the Rue Morgue.  In fact this Wednesday some friends and I are going to see a classic double feature on the big screen Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein at the Paramus Theater.  It should be great watching two fantastic films on the big screen.  I also try to watch some of my favorites in sci-fi that are also scary like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still and of course The Thing From Another World.  All of these classics as well as many more are on our website and available for purchase before Halloween.  I wish everyone a safe and fun Halloween and please stay in touch by blog or come to one of our shows.  Take care everyone. 

Thanks to the wonderful shows in Monroeville near Pittsburgh and the MANC near Baltiimore we were able to acquire new titles for the website.  We will be working on putting them up soon.  Over the last couple of weeks many new titles were added to our site.  Please check out the increased inventory.  Going to the toy and nostalgia shows are so much fun.  Customers at the shows are so incredibly informed about so many of the different types of topics discussed at these shows.  We are hoping to attend the Boston Megashow in November so stay tuned.  Good bless everyone and remember to hug your loved ones today!

We would like to thank every one at the Steel City Con who visited our table.  It was fun speaking to all the people who stopped by and had such nice things to say about our inventory.  Though we cannot attend the next Steel City Con in December we are looking forward to attending again next July.  Once again thanks to all who stopped by to say hello and of course all of our customers.  Remember to check out our website if you are looking for any type of classic DVD.  Take care!

Well it is time for another Steel City Con at the Monroeville Convention Center.  With guests like Dean Cain (Superman in Lois and Clark), Verne Troyer (Mini Me in Austin Powers), and Burt Ward (Robin in the original Batman series) it should bring a huge crowd.  It is always fun to speak to fans of the great classic sci-fi and horror movies.  Please come to our table - remember the show special three movies for $20.  Look forward to seeing everyone.  Have a great time!

On June 12 my life changed forever.  On that day my wife and best friend Mary lost her battle against lung cancer.  She was diagnosed in April and was determined to fight this dread disease.  She was the best part of me and will always be in my heart.  Anyone in your life that you love and care for - hug them and tell them how you feel.  You may never get the chance.  Rest my dear Mary!  I love you.

My wife and I had to opportunity on two occasions to see the late Davey Jones at two nostalgia shows including the Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Show in Baltimore.  He seemed to be a nice person who enjoyed interacting with his many fans.  He seemed to be so healthy.  His death should remind us all to enjoy life to the fullest at all times.  Love your family and enjoy the people that care for you.  He was a talented individual and will be missed.  Take care Davey!

I have attended quite a few toy and nostalgia shows and  I have to say that talking to fans of old time movies and TV is such fun.  Many fans attend these shows and some do not buy.  However everyone loves talking about their fond memories of movies and TV shows.  We have to continue to keep these great movies, TV, Movie Serials, classic cartoons and comic books alive.  It was a better time - a simpler time.  Please everyone continue attending these shows.  We desperately need to keep them alive.

Well, the last Friends of Old Time Radio Convention has come and gone.  It is very sad that we do not have that convention to look forward to in October anymore.  The people who attended were so nice and did their best to keep some of the nostalgia of old time radio alive.  It was a different day and a different era.  Thankfully I have my collection of classic like The Lone Ranger, The Shadow, Gangbusters, X Minus One and Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.  I love listening to the old radio programs.  Hopefully the Friends of Old Time Radio and its convention will spring up somewhere else.  If it does, great.  If not, well lets try and keep it alive in our memories and in our homes.  Jay Hickerson did a great job for all these years running the show.  Thanks to Jay and his group.  All I can say would be a quote from the Lone Ranger "Adios, and good luck."  All of you will be missed!
