you ever told me when I started this thing that someday I would be on Jerry Siegel’s front porch giving Joanne Siegel a framed copy of the ad she placed that led to her meeting Joe and Jerry I would have said you were nuts. Add in that the house I went into five years ago and almost cried over was now sparkly and restored, we had a comic convention downtown, all the families and relatives had a get-together at the Union Club with a big author, and oh yeah my movie played on Playhouse Square. This is not bragging — this is UTTER DISBELIEF. At least 3 times during the whole weekend I turned to my buddy Mike San Giacomo and said “Is this really happening?” and he would give me that big smile. An awesome, devastating weekend.

The movie was not perfect — plagued by some technical demons out of my control it made me twitch in spots but I hope nobody noticed as much as I did. I realized what went wrong only after — we were playing in the Hanna Theater, which, if you’ve seen the movie, ties in directly with someone I say might have been an influence. And not necessarily a good one. Curse you Luthor! But it was fine and completely overshadowed by the greatness of the weekend — really cool.

I’ll post more pictures later — here’s one Mike took on the porch — the back of Joanne and Laura (who were extremely nice people) and me using my phone to take a picture of the crowd. What a dork.

Read mike’s excellent recap here.
