Craig Hamrick

Gay USA, a gay/lesbian news show, has run for 20 years on Manhattan Neighborhood Network, NYC's community access channel.
Since 2003, the satellite channel Free Speech TV has carried the show into millions of homes in all 50 states.
Gay USA's audio can also be downloaded at iTunes.

On this week's show, Gay USA noted the passing of Craig Hamrick, whom they called a respected book editor and photographer. Dark Shadows Online was also mentioned in passing.

The episode will re~air tonite on Free Speech, channel 9415 on Dish Network.
I'll tape it & send it to Midnite so the video can be posted here.

That is so wonderful of them to do that for him. I haven't seen it and would love to. I don't get that channel.

Hey Janet:
it was only a 30 second mention, but if you/John/Joe want to get a tape of it, send me a PM.
I thought it was wonderful as well.
Craig sure did make an impact.

You can hear it, audio only, at iTunes.
My low tech sysrem will not allow me into iTunes.
Midnite checked the iTunes Gay USA page.
This show is not there yet, but it should be up soon.

How is Joe doing?

The audio is already online here. It's about halfway through the podcast. 

Ah, thank you, MsC!  It must've been archived right after I went to bed.  

Quicktime is needed, btw.

P.S.  If you stick around for another minute or so of the podcast, you'll hear a Daily Show clip in which Jon Stewart riffs on an issue that's not unrelated to one raised in the current ShadowGram topic.

Thank you for that, you do know how computer stupid I am.

And tomorrow, 10/9, is Craig's 40th birthday.

Happy Birthday, Dude.
Tell Louis I said hi.

I just read at Craig's imdb page that the Feb 1980 issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland had been dedicated to him!
I never knew that!

It seems he was Forry Ackerman's volunteer assistant at a horror con & did a fabulous job.

Craig's legacy just grows & grows......

David

Friends.  I have uploaded a copy of one of our tributes to Craig from our show the other night on You Tube.  This is at the request of a couple of friends who were in the audience that night.

I hope John doesn't mind my stepping in and mentioning this since several folks were eager to see the video but the original link didn't work. You can find it here:

I stumbled across it while I was looking at DS vids on You Tube.

Gay South Florida, a Miami Herald blog by Steve Rothaus, did a piece on Craig Hamrick on October 4. It includes a few comments from Lara Parker.

 I don't know what I would do without you and that wonderful computer experienced mind of yours. You put these articles here knowing I would never find them right

When I exchanged emails with Craig in July, we talked a bit about his revised edition of "Barnabas & Co.". He said he hoped to have it out in September. Does anyone know the status of the book? I told him I'd buy it the second it came out, and I kinda want to keep that promise.

I really wanted to ask him about that at the fest but every time I saw him he had people surrounding him. I sure hope someone can get it to the press!

The post card type advertisement they were handing out at the fest regarding the updated version states that it is being published by iUniverse, and that it will be made available on Amazon.com after October 15, 2006, which was Sunday! So I'd look for it there, or visit iUniverse's website.

I hope you're able to find it.
