Re: PHOTOS ADDED: '66 Board Get-Together - Saturday Oct 25th
What a special weekend indeed! I can't thank Mark and his crew at the Fiberglass Freaks Museum enough for their hospitality and such a great couple of days filled with a lot of laughs, a lot of great stories as well our Bat-Shenanigans. The whole weekend was a celebration of old friends and new!
For those who haven't managed to check out the museum yet, I cannot implore you enough. I genuinely got goosebumps when I stepped into the Wayne Manor Study-set and watched the bookshelf reveal the Bat-Poles for the first time. The fact that said poles lead to an ACTUAL Batcave?! Truly the stuff of childhood wish-fulfillment!
Not only is the Museum a full-throated love-letter to the TV show that we all know and love, for me what elevates it is the labor of love aspect and in that sense, knowing Mark Racop, it's hard not to see the Museum and FF Batmobile factory as sincere extensions of his fandom and personality. I made the joke at one point that it really did feel like he purpose-built a Clubhouse for our Bat-Friends.
There will be some more specific photos and videos to follow eventually, but for now, enjoy these initial shots!

So cool that you guys got to visit! It really is a lot of fun. That Batmobile in the Batcave was built by Mark when he was 17!
Thanks for posting photos, Ben! Looking forward to seeing more. If there’s any videos, post a link!

Very neat to have this kind of access to the #4! It's unmistakable when you see it from the side profile with the large hinged front dragster-hood.

Never a dull moment. Alex and I had some silly fun while checking out the Wayne study.
Special Guest Villain - Ben Bentley as " The Giggler." Honestly, we were all laughing so much.

Remove the plural “S” from the Batshield website: it’s TVbatshield.com.
Very cool that Alex is also offering a Batshield signed by Burt Ward.

Thanks for catching that, Sir! A real brain-fart on my part what with the typo and forgetting to enable to click-thru link to his site too.
It's been a long week... haha
