ThrowBAT Thursday

Great entry, Ben! Loved it! Looking forward to seeing more of your personal Bat-history!

How's this for a throwback? Here's the first cowl I ever wore, at the first con I ever went to, way back at Megafest 2007 (pic from Scott's blog):



And it still fits! A little dusty, but hey, it's been in storage all these years:

Awesome! I remember seeing that photo like it was yesterday. Glad to know you still have your first cowl!

Love this!

Photos like that make me sad that I never got to meet Frank.

I know i'm a few day's late (doesn't it suck when real life gets in the way?!) but this week marked not only the debut of Star Trek TOS but also the 50th anniversary of another Dozier show. On September 9th 1966, The Green Hornet and Kato burst onto TV screens in their almost instantly iconic rolling arsenal, "The Black Beauty". I really enjoyed the series and it's charming, very well dressed and yet incredibly versatile heroes. I also appreciated the change in tone and pace from it's sister show "Batman" and it's solid attempt at creating it's own take on a vigilante based TV show.

Back in 2009, our pal Ruben Procopio kindly took Scott and I over to Dean Jeffries shop in North Hollywood, to meet the legendary car customizer who crafted the cars we went on to love as The Black Beauty. Dean has unfortunately passed away in recent years, but I feel privileged to have had the chance to meet and chat with him a little.

I've not done a "Throwbat Thursday" for a while so here's my post for this week:

Throwback to one of the most fun weekends i've ever had in costume. There's some fantastic human beings in this photo, as well as the dude who was simply getting a picture with us

I love the TV Batman, but I have a different kind of love all together for the great times with great people that it has allowed me to enjoy.

Welcome back to the board! That would be our very own "Mauled Vader" who you're posing with in your photo.
