Friday The Thirteenth

Happy Friday the 13th! If you've never watched One Week (or even if you have), do yourself a favor and watch! There are quite a few uploads on Youtube.

Random Keaton Note #25

Buster, Jimmy Durante, and Jackie Cooper were to make a film called Buddies in 1932. Due to Buster's health problems at the time, the film was never made. There are a few surviving publicity photos in the internet archives. Here are a couple:

Post Labor Day Post

The best laid plans... I had this "Happy Labor Day" post all set to go yesterday, but was under the weather all day. So here ya go... we'll change it to: Hope you had a nice, relaxing Labor Day!

P.S.

How could I forget to mention this year's BK Convention is celebrating their 25th anniversary?!

Congrats, Damfinos!!!

2019 Convention

October will soon be upon us, and that means the Damfinos will be hosting their annual convention in Muskegon, MI. The dates this year coincide with Buster's birthday which is on October 4th. The convention will be held October 4-6. Here is a link to general information.

As long as I just used the word "general..."

Here is a link to the eclectic schedule which includes Buster's great-granddaughter, Keaton Talmadge.

I believe there is still time to register. Get your tickets now!!

Got TCM?

If you have access to Turner Classic Movies, be sure to keep Monday, August 19th free. It's all Buster all day! The fun starts at 5 a.m. (CST) with Battling Butler.

Sally O'Neil and Snitz Edwards with BK.

It wraps up at 4 a.m. with The Navigator. The schedule also includes some talkies such as Doughboys, and last year's new documentary The Great Buster. Here is a link to TCM's August schedule. Enjoy!

Random Keaton Note #24

Buster owned a Belgian Sheepdog in the 1920s named Captain. This looks like a Malinois to me.

Patience and Fortiude

So, yeah, whatever happened to the next video??? I'm asking myself that same question. The technical side of Silver17 has been rather busy this summer, leaving us creative types in a lurch. All I can say is, it will arrive some day... Hang in there.

ICAD #61

Here we are-- the end of ICAD for another year! I hope you enjoyed seeing my Buster cards. Thanks for viewing and have a nice August!

ICAD #58

A bit of a mod twist to card #58. In case you don't know, the main image is a poster for Neighbors, and there is a reason Buster is holding onto his pants.

ICAD #54

Just a fun one for ICAD #54. We're getting down to the wire-- only one week left!
