Yesterday I threw a little party for John Landecker in my neck of the woods and some old friends came out to say hello. It was a fun little afternoon get-together. John brought his VCR (yes VCR), which he hooked up so we could all watch a video from inside the WJMK studios in 1996. He found an old tape of “Take Your Kids To Work Day”, which featured his daughters Tracy & Amy, and my son Tommy who was merely an infant at the time.
He also screened some of his old home movies from the WLS days in the 1970s. It was a lot of fun.
Your next chance to meet John, buy his book, and get his autograph will come on June 6th at Lou Mitchell’s restaurant downtown (details here). He and I will also be appearing at the Printer’s Row Lit Fest on June 8th (details to come)
