Adam West!

I've always had a bit of a crush on Adam West, so when I heard he was coming to Austin for a special screening of the 1966 "Batman" movie, I knew I had to be there. I joined the Paramount Film Fan Club so I could go to the meet and greet with Adam held before the movie. I'd already met Adam once before at a comic convention here several years ago, and had him sign my copy of his autobiography, "Back to the Batcave", so I really didn't have anything for him to sign. However, my son, who is a big fan of "Family Guy" asked me to print out a picture of Mayor West and have Adam sign that. At first I was skeptical because it seemed sort of cheesy, just printing out an image and having him sign it, but on the morning of the event, I decided what the heck and printed a picture of Mayor West. When my turn came, I told Mr. West that my son had but one request, and that was for an autograph on a photo I'd brought. When Adam opened the folder and saw the picture I'd brought, he burst out laughing and held it up in front of his face (a woman in line behind me caputured the moment on camera!) I think it's a great picture, and proves what a great sense of humor Adam West has. The top photo is Adam signing the picture. He is just adorable, funny and self-deprecating, and a real gentleman. It was a wonderful day.
