100 years ago today: radio legend and V66 General Manager Arnie "Woo Woo" Ginsburg was born! At the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame museum exhibit "On the Air: AM to XM", Arnie is among the greatest DJs in music history. His bio at the exhibit even makes reference to V66!

45 years ago today: some 24-hour music video TV channel that was NOT V66 premiered on cable television!

Pictured here is Eric Green and the late great Matt Nerney in 2006 visiting their seat for the first time and that seat today. 5/5

Due to our currently-in-production film, we are unable to purchase a new seat at this time, but our friends at the Brattle were kind enough to give us our old seat, which is very special to what our little film production company has done since forming in 2000. 4/5

This week, the Brattle began their renovation to remove their old seats and install new ones. 3/5

Having a seat at the Brattle meant we were truly a part of the Boston film community and a friend to one of our favorite cinemas. Over the years, we have heard from so many people who reached out to say they were sitting in our seat in the fifth row at the Brattle! 2/5

Today is a bittersweet day for Cruising In The Van Productions! In 2005, Brattle Theatre was in danger of closing, so we got involved & tried to help out. We decided to purchase a seat at this legendary movie theater, which is one of our favorites & we even mentioned in our film TO BE JOHN WOO. 1/5

On this day in 1985, the historic Live Aid concerts took place in London and Philadelphia! V66 broadcast the concert all day and even sent some contest winners to the concerts! #liveaid #onthisdayinhistory #V66

Remembering radio legend Bob Rivers (of The Bob Rivers Show) who would have turned 70 today. He co-hosted The Bob and Zip Show on V66 and we are honored to have had him in our V66 documentary! #BobRivers
