Can't imagine anyone not wanting to travel in style with Jack Burley!
-
I am definitely planning to attend Peter O'Toole's Footprints Ceremony on the schedule. Anyone else add this item to their personal agenda?
And I will certainly enjoy the booth they've set up at the Hollywood Roosevelt for interviews with Robert Osborne and Ben Mankiewicz as they speak with film industry professionals.
Messageboards member Butterscotchgreer really enjoyed the Road to Hollywood with Ben and Angie Dickinson in Austin to introduce *Rio Bravo* on April 16, and Tricia NY wrote about Tippi Hedren and *The Birds* on the messageboards, as well as Cinemaven discussing her foray to see Robert Osborne and Angela Lansbury as they introduced *The Manchurian Cadidate*. The Road to Hollywood is a wonderful way for folks to enjoy a taste of the TCM Film Festival if they don't have the time to come to LA in April.
I can't believe it's NEXT WEEK!

Jack, I had two or three last year. They must not have been the special "suicide" shakes. I still remember what happened that night! Oooh La La!
Darryl, hope to see you all there!
-
Yes, Sam, the more the merrier! They have great chocolate shakes.
-
I can't wait to see all these Laugh-O-Grams! I think it will be so much fun!!
Do you have a favorite?
-
Great photos on your link, Tricia! This thread is so much fun to read.
Maven, I also enjoyed reading about your Angela/Bob encounter.
Tippi and *The Birds* with Ben!

Jiminy Crickets!! Everybody is so quick to put the kabosh on my canoodling....
I just said "OOOooohh, a tall Scotsman." Maybe I just like to carry on a conversation with someone and not have to duck 3 or 4 feet...Jeeesh!!! So much subtext.....

Just get ready for lots of fun, film, and friends galore! And of course there is the usual camaraderie, canoodling, and canapes, and not necessarily in that order!!!
I wonder if they might be taping some of these great guest programmer segments at the Film Fest..

Hope so!
And for all you Wills and Kate fans, check out the following article about what TCM is planning on Friday, April 29th, (Wedding Day):

And if you are at the festival, it's 1 a.m. in the morning when the royal nups begin....

Excellent list, Kathie! And I would also recommend, just like Kyle said, leave your cares and woes at home, bring your Joie de Vivre, and remember how much fun it is going to be!!
-
A tall, Scottish man? Ooohhh....I'll be there, all right.
-
Butterscotch,
Your on the scene report is so wonderful! I am so glad you went, and obviously had a great time, y'all!!
It's also fun to visit with other folks waiting in line, and I'm happy you did! Your photos are pretty cool, gal!
Next time I'm in Austin, we'll have lunch.
( It will be after the TCM FILM FESTIVAL so I can bring you some goodies!)

Oooooh, Jackie. *Dead Ringer* is one of my favorites... Bette is a total hoot in this one. She gets to play two different women! That big huge dog, Duke, just chows down on Pitiful Peter....
"Bring out the De Lorca jewel box, baby.. or else.."
Duke gave him the "or else." That dog gave her role more humanity because Duke hated her
sister, but warmed to Edie.....and it also saved her from Gigolo Pete....
I loved Karl Malden as the ever faithful beau.....
Also, I think the female singer at her club was also the lady who sang "Roly Poly" in *Pillow Talk*.
Doris Day sang a chorus of "Roly Poly" after the lady at the piano (Perry Blackwell). Then Blackwell sang "You Lied, You Dog," hence some sort of weird canine tie-in with *Dead Ringer*.....

I'm still looking at the schedule and making decisions. That's truly the most difficult part of the
TCM FESTIVAL-- making choices. So much fun, so little time!!
Since I've been receiving numerous emails and calls concerning where to go, what to do, and time management issues, I suggest all interested parties (and there will be parties! ) follow the links to these informative threads----

HISTORIC SIGHTS: http://forums.tcm.com/thread.jspa?threadID=152178&tstart=0
Another tip: Keep checking your email and reviewing the press releases. There are surely to be more announcements!

> Don't think you're going to see everything that you set out to see. Your rear will be sore from sitting or your eyes won't focus any longer or you'll just be too tired. I missed the late showing of Bride of Frankenstein and Out of Circulation cartoons but I didn't regret it-my body just said "enough!".
> Wear something comfortable, as you are sitting, standing and walking a certain amount of time. Grauman's and the Mann's Chinese theatres are all very close together but allow enough time to get to the Egyptian and the Music Box theatres. Try to get some air and take a breather from films when you can. One evening, my sister and I went out of the area for drinks-it was a nice break (although I would have liked to spend more time in Club TCM too).
Try to see something that relates to old Hollywood while you're in town. I went to the Hollywood Heritage Museum. The Hollywood History Museum is nearby. It's housed in the old Max Factor building. LZcutter and hlywdkjk both have lots of info on historic spots of interest posted in one of these threads.
> Oh, one last thing: I agree that having water and snacks with you is a really good idea. There is so little time between events and showings. You might scope out some eating places in advance. There are quite a few in the complex that houses the Chinese Theatres.

The advice submitted by THE COUNTESS is some of the best I've read so far. I think the most difficult parts about attending are the choices we have to make. So much fun, so little time!!
-
It's up!!! It's official!!! I am deep into perusal at this very moment....
-
Thank you, Wolfie! Hope to see you at Club TCM!
-
I remember several gals taking advantage of the great offer of "dos" from Fekkai, free gratis....
(but it's always nice to leave a generous tip...
) -
Dear Wolfie and Darryl,
Thanks for the updates! As for Chris Isaak, Ooh-la-la, as Leslie Caron might say!
Kyle knows I just adore a poolside bash!
Muriel Hemingway is also introducing one of her films...
*Manhattan (1979) - Introduced by Mariel Hemingway*
*Woody Allen?s slice-of-life valentine to New York features the actor-director-writer alongside Diane Keaton, Michael Murphy, Meryl Streep and Oscar nominee Mariel Hemingway. The gorgeous black-and-white photography is provided by Gordon Willis, all set to a collection of memorable Gershwin tunes*
I've been scrolling through all the press releases from TCM, and I can't find Mary Ann Mobley or Chris Isaak officially listed . Sorry about that.
*Girl Happy (1965) ? Poolside screening at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel*
*Elvis Presley?s last big blockbuster features the King of Rock ?n? Roll as a singer assigned to keep an eye on a young woman during Spring Break in Ft. Lauderdale. Shelley Fabares co-stars, along with Harold Stone and Gary Crosby. The soundtrack album, featuring the title song, along with ?Spring Fever,? ?Do the Clam? and ?You?ll Be Gone,? climbed to #8 on the charts. This special screening will take place poolside at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, the host hotel for the TCM Classic Film Festival.I'll keep my fingers crossed. My eyes are already there with all these fantastic stars, films, professional historians and directors....*
I can't wait until the final schedule is posted. I hope it's today!
-
Sounds great!
-
Thanks, filmlover! I'll probably buy a chocolate shake to go so I can keep one in the room fridge.
It's a tasty energy booster!

Dear TCM FILM FESTIVAL,
This is indeed great news! Thank you!
