This was a first for me to go to NY Comic Con and I have to say it was truly an experience!  The first thing you notice is the sheer volume of people attending this event over the 4 days. Next was the time, effort and money people spent on their costumes, some of these people should be working in Hollywood. Last Geeks & Nerds of the world you have done it, shows like Big Bang Theory have made you COOL!  I never expected to see the range and scope of people at an event like this, plus attractive women dressing-up as Superheros when did that happen? The Big Band Theory's writers may have to re-think their premise that Greeks can't attract babes;do you hear that Stewart from the Comicbook store your time has come, you no longer have to spend your nights alone sharing a can of tuna-fish with a stray cat. All kidding aside it was fun and a heck of a crazy time, my recommendation is that everyone should experience it at least once in their lifetime.  So put down that comic book for now and run don't walk to a party in your honor!

Vintage TV had a Great time filming in Dickson City, Pa at the Circle Drive-in the other day.  Now in there 63rd year what a gem of Americana, they just don't make them like that anymore!  I'd advise anyone who hasn't caught a flick at this Drive-in to put it on your must do list now.  This is the way checking-out a movie should be, relax & watch in vintage style.  

Thanks to everyone that made it out for the shoot: Pocono Mt Street Rods, Villa Capri Cruisers, Coasters, Al from AJ's Automotive, Montage Mt Cruisers, Car Lovers Car Show Club, AACA Car Club & a Special Thank you to Mike & JoAnn from Coal Cracker Cruisers without whose help none of this would have been possible!  Its nice to see in this day and age someone going out of there way to help, again Thank you.  

This is just the first draft of photos, (in the productions stage we will darken the sky & have a movie image on the big screen to simulate more of a Drive-in atmosphere) check back for updates along-the-way.

Hi Fans,

Here is the blog post you've all been asking for!  Well its not really a blog as much as a photo retrospective of all the shows we've filmed so far in 2012.  They say a "Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words" in this case let's hope so, right!  As we start to edit the TV Show and head into production, we will keep posting pics here of the different shows we filmed.  So check back now and then to see if you or your ride made it on camera?

Update:  49 random pics so far and counting (not in any order) - 10/27/12

We were on our way to scout the DMC Show that we were filming on Saturday, so we took a detour because the event coordinators were throwing a Hot Rod party the Wednesday before just down the road in NJ.  Much to our surprise My Classic Car was filming this event.  I've always wanted to meet Dennis, after all we're in the same business except he is a blackbelt & I'm still waiting to get my yellowbelt! lol  What a great guy - we talked shop, cars, hot rods, shows, he gave me some tongue-in-cheek directing advice then followed it with the statement "but what do I know" and he even made fun of my little HD Hero2 GoPro camera.  He said your not going to film me with that are you?  Imagine my embarrisment Dennis Gage my professional idol thinks I film my show with this tiny HD Hero2 camera. UGH!!  I then explained that my film crews weren't coming to NJ till Saturday and I just always carry this little pocket camera with me cause you never know?  To fill my viewers in this is the camera we use for all the driving sequences and in-car videos, (its really a super camera by the way).  Even with all that he was still nice enough to give us a quick interview on camera, that really meant a lot to me since usually people in his position don't take the time out of their busy filming schedule to chat never mind give you an interview.  OK time to go off on a Movie tangent:  Filming Dennis under less than ideal conditions I felt like Will Ferrell's character in the Movie Step Brothers, he said in the movie that the reason he got Randy Jackson from American Idol to sign an unconventional item like his katana sword was "your not gonna not get Randy Jackson's signature are you" that's how I felt filming Dennis that day, it wasn't ideal because of the equipment but I'm not gonna not film Dennis, am I?  Long way to go I know to explain this bit but by now you know me.  So to sum it up; got to see not one but two great Hot Rod parties, filmed one for an episode of Vintage TV and met the MAN himself.  LIFE is GOOD!!! 

Note: Below is a picture of the camera in-question, look at how small it is on the front of the surfboard to the left.

Vintage TV will be filming on Saturday September 1st from 10AM to 3PM at the Dead Man's Curve Wild Weekend Hot Rod Show in Mahwah, NJ.  This will be our first time for this show but we decided we had to do it after all the positive feedback we received from enthusiast all over the country!  We have never had a show talked up like this before, in fact we we're going to film another show that weekend but then we switch gears to film the DMC.  Our Producers always say give the Viewers what they Want!  So everyone we listened and we're going!!!  This looks to be a Great venue, the grounds look amazing so this should be a super Hot Rod Party.  Also stop by to meet Paul Le Mat of American Graffiti fame.
