Once in a Lifetime!

Happy Sunday to all of you who read Blogs on weekends. Allow me to be direct: On Monday, March 24th we launch the 3rd Annual Steve McQueen Film Festival. In the past week alone, I have received e-mails from children of producers and personalities who "GOOGLED" some of the features from both "THE INTERVIEW" and yes, "FRIDAY MOVIE SUGGESTION NIGHT". A husband and wife knew actor Don Gordon from the 1960's (who appeared with Steve McQueen in several key films), and another's father was involved with the Robert Redford film, "Brubaker". The latter wrote to say that he agreed with my review entirely about the powerful, stirring ending of that film. I never cease to be amazed by how many people this seemingly small blogsite reaches worldwide. And of course I'm very, very proud of what I endeavor to accomplish with it.

With that said, I have one final point. Those of you who are using Net Flix who actually follow the "Festival" loyally, will need to access the DVD "Bullitt" early on because the package contains a separate DVD entitled "Steve McQueen: The Essence of Cool". We will begin the "Festival" with this feature (found inside the packaging below the movie). This really sets the tone of the week. We have a new format and some new films this year. There are 6 films that will NOT be in this year's line up. Next year, will see us utilizing the same one-week format, albeit, with a some additional presentation changes. To all newcomers, may I just add: "Welcome Aboard"!__
CIAO (FOR NOW)!

Hi! *waving at you*....thanks for stopping by our Got YOG? blog, Michael *smiling*
Hey Kat! You amaze me on your website with some of the richest writing I've seen. I can remember when you started and now it is known within the publishing community. Awesome! :)
Cool Michael - It is nice that we still have places like Grauman's Chinese Theater. A little part of show business history.
I visited Grauman's Chinese Theater and had my picture taken next to the Houdini star that is also there. When I performed a week at the magic castle. That is about two or three blocks away.
Great post Michael.
I'm a new fan of your writing, and an old one of Kat's. Small world getting smaller.
Enjoy your film festival. Sounds fun!
Glenn: You performed nearby? That is incredible! I hope you have photos. What a gig!
Angie: Thank you! I'll have to drop by and visit!:)I agree: small world. Kat is very cool. We met for coffee on one of my trips with Good Man Roger!
Hey Michael,
The Magic Castle is just a few blocks away from Grauman's Chinese Theater. I walked over in the afternoon the same week I was there performing in the close up magic Gallery doing three 20 minute shows a night.
Better than pictures I had a friend shoot some video and it is at my web site.
I am looking forward to reading more on Steve McQueen.
Thanks again,
Glenn Bishop
McQueen is the epitome of "badass"!!
jlee: True. Hope you'll tune in! :D
