Adam West Fans Go BATTY with EPIC Celebration

[@TheLifeandSadEnding]

I was ten years old in 1966 so I watched it first run "IN COLOR".

[@j.robertsergertson4513]

What a wonderful sentiment Dave👍 I too wish America could return to the civility of those bygone days.

[@jerrygillespie1214]

I also remember Adam West as Captain Quick in commercials

[@JellicleKat]

That is amazing, thank you for sharing your trip with us. I used to watch Batman when I was a little kid in the 1970s and I loved and recently I bought the DVD box set. So happy for you and your brother that y'all got to go and experience this wonderful BatFest.

[@jdsundstrom]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for commenting.

[@karenleemallonee684]

We lived in the Tri Cities for 20 years, just about an hour from there. Walla Walla is such a quaint little town, I loved visiting there. I never knew about the Adam West/BATMAN connection, Im glad to see it now has its own special day!!! 👍👍

[@jdsundstrom]

Walla Walla truly is a great place to visit!

[@tracyroth-myers5574]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@Rick-mp8tm]

Thanks for sharing! I would love to visit Adam West day ! Wow! He will always be my favorite Batman!

[@jdsundstrom]

It is truly a special event, and you'd probably make a lot of new friends.🙂

[@middlefinger1565]

You should do a joint podcast with Irving's Zoo. He is an Adamaniac...too.

[@jdsundstrom]

I'm a fan. Maybe I'll reach out. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@davidpenn9396]

Wow! this video is So Awesome I wish that I was there to see something just like that

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@@jdsundstrom I really did enjoy watching it

[@christydeannl3105]

What a cool trip! I'll bet it was fun.🎉🦇

[@jdsundstrom]

It really was a great time!

[@pamelamays4186]

Adam West was my first Batman. I got a kick out of his voice work as Catman on The Fairly Oddparents. Mister West had the unique ability to poke fun at himself.

[@jdsundstrom]

Yep. Adam’s ability to not take himself seriously was one of his super powers.

[@mapleva]

I love it. I'm a Walla Walla native who left the town 35 years ago for Seattle where I now reside. I'm dying to go down for Adam West Days. I went to school with Jonathan Grant's wonderful sister, Gina. I love your reports because you seem to love all the same TV characters that I do Please keep rolling "the good stuff".

[@jdsundstrom]

Thanks for sharing...and the positive feedback on my little YT channel. If you ever make it back to Walla Walla for Adam West Days and see me there, don't hesitate to say "hi".

[@mapleva]

@@jdsundstrom I sure will, hopefully, I can get a selfie and autograph, too! Thank you for the comment on my post!!

[@tomc2376]

My family saw Adam and Burt in 1966. Promotional bus tour that came through our town in NY. I was only 4 yrs old but my mom took 8 mm video.

[@PaulTesta]

What NY town?

[@tomc2376]

@@PaulTesta the bus rolled down Bedford Ave in Bellmore. they didn't get out but waved to everyone. what a mob scene, it was like the whole town was there.

looked fun dave.

[@rodneyhankins6417]

Wow Wow that I just wish I could have come to that event. Thank You for sharing that.

[@jdsundstrom]

I wish you could have been there too! It was really awesome.

[@seaninness334]

I love all the vehicles. That Michael Keaton era vehicle was cool looking but I heard many reports of it and it's copies not working very well during production. The 1966 Batmobile was so well done. The hidden switch in the bust of Shakespeare and the receding wall was nicely recreated. I thought Batgirl's motorcycle was pretty cool until I looked up the specs for it a couple years ago. (Now curious about the Batcycle with side car- GIS) That too is very underwhelming but still fun to look at. Looks like it was a fun time.

[@jdsundstrom]

It really was a great day. Thanks for all your support, Sean!

[@ThomasMccluskey-f1m]

I've seen the Keaton Batmobile at the TVLand convention 20 years ago. It was a hit.

[@jdsundstrom]

It was pretty darn cool!

[@richiegrey5377]

Satellite radio did Batman original song today? Life is is strange.

[@jdsundstrom]

Quite the coincidence!

It truly was a great celebration!

[@ShinSeikiEvan]

I've always wanted to go sometime, but it's a 5 hour, 300 mile drive.

[@jdsundstrom]

Over 500 miles for me. Still, it was worth the long drive.

[@noelhernandez363]

Holy road trip!! You're just around the corner! I live in south Texas!!!

[@garrettdarkstar2647]

I was there. I was the guy with the long hair in cosplay, who accidentally knocked the sign over. I go every year. It's a special day for me. It means more than my own birthday.

[@jdsundstrom]

I remember seeing you. In fact, I’m pretty certain I took some pictures that you are in. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@garrettdarkstar2647]

​@@jdsundstrom it was great to see you!

[@henryscafe8364]

One movie that's a must see is Batboy Begins. A boy wanted to be Batboy for his Make a Wish in New York and the mayor, police dept. and a lot others helped out actors were playing the Peguine and the Riddler. A guy lent his Lamborghini to use as the Batmobile. I like how a real NY cop arrested the Penguin

[@jdsundstrom]

I've seen it. It's quite the enjoyable video.

Cool

[@rhoward295]

Yes, your subscribers really do yearn for a time when people treat each other with civility regardless of their religious or political leanings. Well, at least this subscriber definitely does!

[@jdsundstrom]

Yep. I felt pretty comfortable sharing that with the crowd. Thanks for confirming. 🙂

[@stephensundstrom6379]

Such a fun trip!

[@jdsundstrom]

Thanks for coming with me!

[@McMahonHater]

No doubt about it Dan... you, me, and the gym need to start a steady relationship... and I mean that both sincerely and mutually. AWESOME VIDEO THOUGH!!!

[@jdsundstrom]

Very true. Let’s both set a goal to do better healthwise. 🙂

[@McMahonHater]

@@jdsundstrom Sounds awesome. I've got to get back to doing my walking after work.

[@Monkofmagnesia]

No, Dave, not "crazy." They went "Bats!"

[@jdsundstrom]

Well stated! 🤣😄🙂

[@RetroNerdGirl]

I love this so much!🤗

[@davidgoehner7650]

Adam actually wrote his name on a door in the room -- I think a closet door, from the picture I saw of it a few years ago that was taken during a tour some of the special visitors did during the first Adam West Day in 2017. I was told that the door signing occurred during a visit Adam did to the house sometime in the 2000s. He wrote something like "The Old Room! Bill Anderson. Adam West." (Bill Anderson was his real name.) One of the current owners told me the signed door had been opened in a position in which it was getting hit by the sun from the window during the time when the house was unoccupied, so the autograph took a bit of a hit.

[@WV_Weasel]

Loved the Batman tv series. Adam West is the only Batman in my opinion. Good video. Thanks for sharing!

[@williamlangan5902]

Thanks for sharing, Dave! How far is Walla Walla from Seattle? I would love to visit if it’s not too far away. But it sounds like it was a great event and it was probably an honor to speak at it!

[@michaelking2582]

I think why Adam, Michael, & the wonderful character they shared endures, is he had no powers. He was just like us, but had to deal with his parents brutal murder in the back story. Adam played it camp. Which was a great decision in the backdrop of Vietnam and civil unrest. And him, Burt, and all the stars did a fantastic job, with of course, Adam setting the pace. Glad you enjoyed yourself, the video was great, and thank you !!!

[@JanetStarChild]

I love your shirt; PURE WEST. Classic Simpsons scene; haha!

[@jdsundstrom]

I'm glad you like it. I made it myself. 🙂
