Plotnick Strikes Again

Danny Plotnick the 8mm Rock Star has made a new film about 80s and 90s underground subcultures. Makes me feel glad to be old and have a closet full o' mix tapes and boxes of cruddy VHS tapes, sorta:



Here is Danny cleaning his toilet, dusting the living room and making a waffle while talking about why he is so hella awesome, cause all he cares about is the STORY man, I love it:



His compilation DVD, Warts and All just came out at Microcinema. You would have to be a loser not to buy it. Even better, you can rent it on Netflix starting on Feb 26th. Oh boy!

Watch it, love him, want to be him, dream that he lets you touch his hair.

Being Danny Plotnick

Danny Plotnick is my hero. Can't say it enough.

DP makes these cool podcasts called Nest of Vipers with Bay Area celebs, writes nifty articles, makes films about sock monkeys, lives in a nifty house with his talented wife and son, has big hair and teaches teens about video.

And, he IS The King of Super 8. So there.

Eons ago I used to fill in for him when he went on vacation from FAF. They were (literally) big shoes to fill but I tried. It was fun being Danny Plotnick and my hair was almost as big.

My friend Molly L was also a DP Fan. We almost started a DP Fan Club but got distracted.

Last time I was in SF we ate sushi out of floating boats in Japan Town and I marveled at his accomplishments, as always. What a Super Hero!

This is a video he made with his son Hank the Ghost and The Tin Man on the Queen Mary - wish I coulda been there:
