Sven made mention of the Rondo again in his blog on the 21st-- and Bob Burns: http://www.wciu.com/blog.php?assetID=2185 Sven does plan to film a segment with the award for his show in the not-too-distant future; Chicago fans can give folks here a heads up when that happens. Thank you all for your support for this wonderful man-- the timing of this award is especially nice, as this June Rich is celebrating his 30th anniversary of wearing the mantle (or, more accurately, wig and hat) of Svengoolie. |

Sven linked the web site "Chicagoist" into his blog today-- it talks about the Rondo award:

I think this is a perfect example of how the Rondo Awards benefit the classic horror community beyond the intrinsic acknowledgement of good work and
accomplishment in an award. As Elizabeth noted, there are links in the online article to Penny Dreadful and Dr. Gangrene. There are also links to
Svengoolie, this forum and to Wonderfest. Everybody benefits.
Thanks for posting the link, Elizabeth. I hope you don't mind me editing your post to hyperlink the URL to make it clickable. GARY L. PRANGE "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectos nunc." Check out my YouTube Video of the Week! (updated 4-27-09) |

Keep being helpful and she may hit you up for help in posting pictures of the Rondo on display in the WCIU lobby, in the case with the station Emmy awards. It looks pretty spiffy there! |

For those of you in Chicago and Milwaukee this week's Svengoolie episode [repeat of 20000000 MILES TO EARTH] will feature Sven's Rondo Acceptance
speech.

Hi Torgaman...
I missed the note about the Rondo speech airing.
Rich does have a post up on Facebook that this week the clip where Svengoolie meets Elvira (whoo hoo) will air on 20,000,000 Miles to Earth.
Then over at the Svengoolieweb schedule page (http://thesvengoolieweb.com/Schedule.html), there is a
note up that the Rondo will appear on the June 13th show, Mr. Sardonicus.
June 20th will be the 30th Anniversary show, Attack of the Puppet People.
It's great that Svengoolie is celebrating receiving the Rondo with his 30th anniversary this year!

In the book From Shock Theatre to Svengoolie, I learned something very interesting about Rich Koz, the talent behind Svengoolie. In the late 1960s he
worked with legendary radio talent Dick Orkin as a writer on the last 65 episodes of Chickenman, one of the funniest radio shows ever produced. Koz probably
learned more about comedy from Orkin in 15 minutes than most writers will glean from experience in fifteen years. With that kind of background complementing
his own experience it's no wonder Koz has earned multiple Emmys and induction into the prestigious Silver Circle.

Tonight's Svengoolie show (featuring the film Mr. Sardonicus) will include a visit from a short, green fellow...

It was a nice little segment last night-- Sven had the "I voted" graphics on screen when talking about the Rondo, displayed the bust/award itself,
included an image of sculptor Kerry Gammill holding the award (taken by the UMA exhibit during WonderFest), and showed the still of Rondo Hatton with the
hammer going after the giant bust, to illustrate the movie source/inspiration for the award.
Movie length can impact how much time he has for these informational segments; Sven packed quite a bit of information in a short piece there! |
