Did you think that, just because the Halloween season is over, so were the Svengoolie public appearances? That’s not the case! There are more Sven events coming- including a BIG one, at three different Max Madsen locations, on Dec. 8th!
Can’t wait until then? Well, you’re in luck- because “Sventa Claus” will be arriving tomorrow night- Friday, Nov. 30th - at the Comic Collector in Riverside!
Ho-ho-hoo, boy- it’s all part of the yearly “Holiday Walk” in held by Riverside’s merchants- all the stores do something special on this Friday night, and our friends at the Comic Collector, a fun comic book and comics collectible store, have once again opted for yours truly to show up from 6-8 pm, not just as Sven, but in holiday gear as “Sventa Claus!” I’ll be posing for pictures and signing autographs –maybe you’d like one as a gift for the Sven fan in your life (hmm…kind of a cheap gift?!) Better yet, I’ll bet they have some of Alex Ross’ oversized comic “Liberty and Justice”-in which Alex hid a couple pictures of Sven alongside Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman…anyway, come shop and stop to see me- tomorrow night- 6-8 pm- at the Comic Collector- 3246 S. Harlem in Riverside (right across from BERWYN!!!) Please park all reindeer outside!
I’ve done a lot of Christmas appearances in my Sven career (the very first public appearance as “Son of Svengoolie” was sort of a Christmas one- it was a “Christmas in July” event!)
I remember doing one event with Deborah Norville (when she was working at ch. 5,) with then WIND personalities Dave Baum and Clark Weber broadcasting live. I did a few of the Christmas parades, too- one year, I was on a fire truck with a bunch of other TV folks, like Jay Levine, and every time we went under L tracks, we had to haul down some big balloons that were attached to the truck! Another year- I think the last time I was in the parade) they had me ride on the back of a convertible that was covered with Brach’s hard candies. It was freezing out, and the nice people tried to keep the heater going full blast to keep me warm. Unfortunately, the hard candies I was semi-sitting on got a little soft, and my Sven tuxedo had some candy melted onto it!
Rest assured, I will NOT sit on any candy tomorrow night- nor next weekend at the Max Madsen dealerships (I’ll give you more info on the show this Saturday…speaking of which, and, having mentioned the great artist Alex Ross- on this Saturday’s show- you’ll see a unique contribution of his- tune in to see what- or WHO-that is!)
