Update #17: An Evening With Adam West
Hi All,
Just wanted to let all our documentary supporters know that we'll be filming an event with Adam West and Ralph Garman this weekend. All the info is below....hope to see you there!
Update #16: Starring Adam West - update
Hi Supporters,
I wanted to let everyone know that we're making great progress with our film thanks to your support. We had a great shoot in Austin with Adam a few weeks back - he introduced the original Batman movie and then released the bats from Congress bridge. It was an amazing day! Also, just last week I finally got an interview with the director of the Hollywood Walk of Fame - it's going to be a great addition to our documentary. Best of all, Adam is scheduled to get his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in early 2012. Although they won't confirm a date as of yet, it looks like it will most likely happen in late March or early April. So, we'll be shooting until Adam gets his star and then we'll wrap up production ASAP so you can all finally see the finished product. For those of you who donated above the Kapow level ($250 and above) I'll be posting instructions on how to send in your 5 second videos. Thanks again everyone & please stay tuned for updates!
Best wishes,
James

I'll be posting an update with instructions for sending / uploading the 5 second videos. You have plenty of time as we're still shooting with Adam and don't plan to finish editing for at least a few months. Thanks!

This has been a moment that has been years in the making and it's finally going to be here. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it from NW Indiana to California with only (8) days notice. There's just not enough time to get funds available so quick to get a flight and other expenses. I will be thinking of this moment at 1:30 pm on April 5th since we're two hours ahead of California. Congratulations Mr. West on this Batastic achievement. You are SO deserving of this. I send you only my best.

That is fantastic news. I always wanted to be there but I won't make it now, as I live in Australia. James - please pass on my congrats to Adam and all of his family (your good self included). This is long overdue, but will be a momentus occasion. I know you all will enjoy it. To the Batpoles ...
