American Graffiti Pictorial Cancel 2012 is our blog topic today.

With today being
George Lucas 72nd birthday it was great fun to see online the

American Graffiti Pictorial Cancel 2012

From 2013 Alive Magazine article about US Postal Service Commemorates American Graffiti the article includes photos from the event.

“As a community service, the United States Postal Service offers Pictorial Cancellations and Commemorative Envelopes at local events celebrated in communities throughout the nation.  Keith Reid, Omaha’s Postmaster authorized the special Pictorial Cancellation and Commemorative Envelope in honor of the Omaha Film Festival event celebrating the 40th Anniversary of American Graffiti, held later that day at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, benefiting the Omaha Kidney Association.” 

I’m still remembering how wonderful it was to see American Graffiti when it first came out and can still see the movie posters advertising it.  The movie received five Academy Award nominations and “first-time nominee George Lucas made his debut at the Academy Awards.”  

In addition to the American Graffiti Pictorial Cancel 2012, I’ve also included the movie trailer from the 1973 movie and the wonderful scene with Wolfman Jack towards the end of the movie.

Here’s to dusting off our movie soundtracks of American Graffiti today along with great weather on this Saturday.  And perhaps you’ll find yourself pulling your car up to a Sonic Drive-in for lunch or dinner – enjoy!   Happy 72nd Birthday to George Lucas – Thank you for sharing your imagination all these years!
