Adam West is in Austin, Texas today attending a truly unique and special event:  Austin’s Night of the Bat.  As home of the largest urban population of bats, Austin is throwing a one-day Bat-Extravaganza.  Mr. West is attending as the guest of honor and introduce a special screening of the original classic 1966 film Batman.  The theater?  None other than the Paramount, where the film premiered over 40 years ago.  The day continues with a host of special events, a welcome to Mr. West from the mayor, a concert, all culminating with a gathering to view the amazing 1.5 million bats emerge from under Congress bridge for their famous nightly flight.

Adam made a surprise appearance on the Jay Leno’s Tonight Show Wednesday night.  Nic Cage was being interviewed about his role in the upcoming film Kick Ass.  He was describing how he grew up on the Batman TV series and emulated Adam’s performance for the role.  At which point, Jay brought Adam out to face off with Nic in a Batman triva game.  Watch below:

Adam became star #329 on the Palm Springs Walk Of Stars last weekend at a ceremony held in downtown Palm Springs.  The sidewalk was overflowing with fans, onlookers, press and a very proud family as PSWOS board members and local and state government officials gave speeches honoring Adam’s career.  Adam gave a speech and then the event culminated with the unveiling of his sparkling new star outside the Starbuck’s on the corner of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Palm Canyon Drive.

Here is some of the press from the event:

I grew tired of staring at my feet at home and decided to stare at my feet somewhere else…Europe.  My wife forced me.

Hope you enjoy the little travelogue I made.
