First off, apologizes for the lack of updates, we’ve been working hard on preparing for Sunday, September 7th, 2008 historic evening to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Greatest American Hero.

Our gracious host will be John Tesh and our guest for the evening are true icons and they include Stephen J. Cannell, Robert Culp, Connie Sellecca, Michael Pare’, Mike Post, Frank Lupo,Chuck Bowman,
Jo Swerling Jr, Alex Beaton, Dennis “Danger” Madelone and a video taped appearance by Rod Holcomb.

This all started in Stephen’s office when we asked if he would mind coming to Las Vegas with the cast to promote the comic book at the retailers convention. However, things didn’t work out with Diamond and we were like “Okay, we’ve got all these fantastic people, let’s move it to Los Angeles and tape the event.”

And bam, that’s where we are at!

I’m beyond excited for the event, not just to catch up with dear friends, however, the opportunity to have all these icons in one room, it’s a true blessing.

We will be posting photos from the event after Sunday.

Again, this is a once in a lifetime event and I’m glad to see it happening in my lifetime.

Wow, Chris Folino you’re a tool! This interview made me laugh and you’re shameless with your promotion of Gamers The Movie, it’s inspiring to no one! Read this funny interview.

Here’s my favorite highlight from it!

Richard: What do you do with any free time you have?

Christopher: I write Sparks and wash all of Bill’s twenty five cars and I also do his laundry and once month, I have to prepare and feed him fugu fish dressed in the Greatest American Hero outfit. Sure, it’s creepy as hell, but, I’m getting a comic book made.
