Last October, I covered Svengoolie’s appearance at the Volo Auto Museum having no idea it’d lead to me taking a walk down memory lane via YouTube. One of the folks I photographed during that event, Chris Connolly, had been posing next to a Mego-style Svengoolie bat cave and reached out for permission to use the photos on his YouTube Channel, Mr. C. Dives In with his best buddy, Fanboy G. Our exchange led to his invitation to be interviewed on his show concerning my journey as a Son of Svengoolie & Svengoolie fan along with my experiences getting close to him and his crew over the course of my thirteen years as a blogger. This was to be in celebration of Rich Koz’s birthday which is the date I’m posting – March 12th. Although I’ve been doing a lot less content creation these days, it was nice having the opportunity to relive these amazing experiences. The following four videos were taped on two separate occasions. I’m no entertainer, but I do hope you enjoy them while supporting Mr. Connolly’s channel. Happy Birthday, Svengoolie!
Let me just say
1 Happy Birthday Rich Koz, the man behind the “Man in the Hat”
2 What an enriching opportunity this whole process has been, for example, learning from reading Dave’s Scary Monsters article that we both would tape record Sven back in the day.
Thanks Dave, see you in Berwyn, or maybe St. Louis.
Thanks, Chris! It was an honor.
This was a great interview to watch. Fun and enlightening look into Svengoolie, Chris and G!! As always Dave is a wealth of info and a historian for Sven and Chicago!!
Thanks, Jason! I really appreciate that.
