Sometimes I get reminders for topics to run in my Blog...  which are appreciated!  They come in the forms of emails, messages, calls, hard copy requests, TV Show mentions, etc. 

Well, yesterday morning I had an email from Tim Brown, Webmaster- Superman Celebration and host of the Superman Celebration Fan Film Competition, reminding me that this is the week for the Annual Superman Celebration in Metropolis, Illinois.

Then late yesterday afternoon, while driving I was station punching on my car's radio buttons, and happened across Brad Meltzer talking about the same topic on the Glenn Beck Radio Show! 

OK, enough hints! LOL!   Today's topic is this week's THE Superman Celebration taking place, starting on June 11th and ending June 14th, 2009!  

  Of course there are media guests and comics guests at this Celebration!  One guest that I have seen before, and always worth listening to, is Noel Neill, who will be at this Celebration.  Matter of fact, there will be a 'Tribute to Noel Neill' on Friday, June 12th, 7:00 pm at the Artists Alley.  Seating is limited, so be sure to get there early!  

  Another guest, (and Facebook Friend), is Gail Simone!  She is a comic book writer best known for her work on DC Comics' Birds of Prey series.  Would you believe she is also the first female ongoing writer for the character Wonder Woman?!

  Well, I mentioned that I heard Brad Meltzer on the radio talking about the Celebration.  Last year he was on the same radio program stating that there was a fund raising for saving "Superman's House".  He was pleased to state that the fund raiser grossed over $100,000 last year!  Brad is a writer of comics and novels. He is well known for the 'Identity Crisis' for DC Comics, and has now taken over the Justice League of America for a relaunch.  It is not known by this blogger if Brad will be attending the Celebration or not, but I wanted to include him because of hearing about his work for the Superman House and mentioning the Celebration Week.

  Oh... and I did mention that Tim Brown reminded me first, right?!  Well Tim is the Owner and Executive Producer of Inked Monkey Productions.  His company is returning for a third year at the Superman Celebration after successfully hosting Fan Films in 2007 and 2008!   Tim is also a film editor and videographer who has done work for Coca-Cola, Maw Productions, Pencil Neck Studios, and for the Superman Celebration produced a tribute video to Christopher Reeve!

Tina and I can't make this great Superman Celebration Week in Metropolis, but for all those of you that are or could... Have Sum Fun!
