This July I will be manning the video camera and still camera for my friend The Hot Dog Man, Rob Merlino, of The Hot Dog Truck and Hot Dog Stories. I’m helping him film his 2nd Annual National Hot Dog Month Hot Dog Tour. Last year Rob ate a hot dog a day for the month of July at 31 different venues. This year he’s going bigger and better. And this year he asked me to help with camerawork. But in order to do this event we are going to need a little bit of money. But you can get something for your money like recognition as an official sponsor of the tour or even a cool publicity stunt at a hot dog joint during the tour. Even if you can only kick in $5 that is cool too. Please help us fund the tour’s gas money so we can go to great places this July and tell you all about them.

Plus we are working to make a 60-90 minute film with footage shot last year and this year.

This new animated kids show from creator Angela Santomero. This show is a continuing legacy of Fred Rogers, Mr. Rogers to most of us kids from the the past 40 years would know. The show follows the children of the puppets from the Land of Make Believe. I learned that there are already 40 topics that have been produced for the show. Each show has two 11 minute segments on a particular theme like understanding emotions, trying new things, cooperative play and so many other themes that are important for preschool childhood development. We got to see a few clips and were even treated to a talk by Mr. Rogers wife, Joanne Rogers. She received a standing ovation and I ran into her in the hallway, she was so nice and pleasant, she even posed for a few photos with the bloggers like today’s Photo-A-Day.
