Day two of our ‘thon has begun! The posts are still coming in, so be sure to take a look at what’s new!
Welcome back, my friends, to the second year of our Buster Keaton celebration! Once again we’re paying tribute to one of our greatest cinematic artists–someone who was not only a skilled filmmaker, but a master comedian whose ability to make people laugh has been proven timeless.
Bloggers: Please send me the link to your post anytime it’s ready today or tomorrow. I’ll be updating periodically throughout the next couple days. Don’t forget that on the 9th I’ll be holding a drawing for all participants, the winner receiving both a $25 gift certificate to Buster Stuff and an opportunity to have their piece published in The Keaton Chronicle!
Readers: Drop by often to see the latest posts! Feel free to leave comments–both me and all the other bloggers appreciate ’em!

Perfect, thank you! 🙂
Hi, Lea. I’m looking forward to reading all the entries over the next week or so. However, mine is unfortunately a no-show. I’ve posted a brief explanation on my blog. Part One of the article, written for last year’s event, is still available to those who have yet to read it.
So sorry to hear that “real life” has gotten in the way, Marty, I definitely understand. Your post last year was fascinating (and detailed), so I really hope you can make it to next year’s event!

I am a new blogger and this is my first time taking part in a blogathon! My blog is based primarily on Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. but as a Buster Keaton fan I really wanted to try this out. I hope you enjoy!
Hi Elizabeth, thank you so much for joining in!
