Thanks, Andy!

Really looking forward to the trip. I love authentic American diners, so they are taking me to the Oasis diner, just outside of Indianapolis, on the way. I also love Filipino food (first introduced to it by my best buddy from high school), so we will also try out a Thai-Filipino restaurant in Logansport.

Also a huge fan of authentic diners-- we have a lot of them here in the Northeast.
Love Filipino food as well, right behind Persian food as my absolute favorite.

Great pop culture, and gastronomic, preferences think alike!

What a happy birthday blast!

Everyone was so friendly. It was like hanging out with your friends who just so happened to like your favorite TV shows, including Star Trek the original series!

Mark built the Batmobile you see in the photos when he was 17 years old! That is not a typo! Mark, Abby and Randy are friendly and genuinely invested in making sure you enjoy your time!

I could go on all day, but will say this for now: if you haven’t been, and you are able to go, please do. Also, Fiberglass Freaks will be at the Indianapolis comic con in mid-March. They will have one of Mark’s Batmobiles there, and, if you were going, it would be a good time to swing up to see the museum!

Definitely worth the trip!

Everyone who's a Batman TV show fan will want to visit this museum.

Did you try the climbing the Bat-rope effect and turning the switch on the Shakespeare bus to open the secret entrance?

Yes! The climbing bat rope effect looks good. I, on the other hand, not so much. Ha ha!

In truth, it’s a pretty good photo despite my presence, but my wife and my son are also in it and I’m protective of them. My son does not do social media (like father, like son) and my wife has only very limited/family only social media engagements.

I don’t really care about myself (especially posting on here among bat-friends), but I watch what I post with family in it. The rope climbing set is a fun effect and looks pretty persuasive.
