Well well–it’s a little under two weeks until the Buster Keaton Blogathon returns for a seventh year in a row!
If you’re a participant, know that I’m really looking forward to seeing your posts! Every year our blogathon has such an excellent selection of thoughtful writing and really stellar research. I know year 7 will be awesome as well.
If you haven’t signed up and are interested in joining, go right ahead! I’ll even accept new participants on the days of the blogathon, because why not. The more the merrier!
Important update: Every year I hold a little drawing for blogathon participants. This year I’ve decided to give away a copy of Kino’s lovely DVD of Our Hospitality (1923), one of Buster’s classic features. Don’t you love that cover?
12 days to go, everyone–happy blogging!!

Thank you again!

Forgive my ignorance, but how does this work again? I publish the post, and send you a notification—-how? ❓ (I will be eager to read everyone’s bloggage!)
The best way is to leave a comment on the main blogathon post I’ll be putting up. But you could leave a comment right here if you wanted, I’ll see it either way. 🙂
