Now that is some Laurel and Hardy go to Bonnaroo shit. EDIT: FUN FACT about your dear old Horned Gramma: I am a card carrying member of the Sons of the Desert, the official International Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society (Tent #81, 'Them Thar Hills'). Somewhere there is a picture of me wearing a fez and an official Sons of the Desert sash performing the secret handshake with Stan Laurel's daughter and the man who played Spanky in the Our Gang/Little Rascals shorts at an Olive Garden restaurant in central California. You are living my dream. I used to watch an insane amount of Laurel and Hardy as well as Our Gang ("The Man from Borneo" is one of the funniest things in the world. Super young Spanky is the funniest thing in the world.). IT's been a while since I've watched Laurel and Hardy films, but I especially remember "Sons of the Desert." I always see signs for a Laurel and Hardy museum on the interstate on the drive between Charleston and Atlanta, and I always wanna stop there, but I'm always on a time crunch whenever I make that drive. I'll have to make sure I have time next time and hit that up. I have no idea what to expect though because it's in the middle of nowhere in Georgia.

And also, dearest Roro, there's a possibility we may change our mind. I know my friend that's coming with me really wants us to see that Roger Waters show that Thursday night (though I'm wondering how the hell I'm going to afford it), so I have to get things all set 'n stuff.

Laurel and Hardy were something special. They combined the slapstick of the Three Stooges with the subtlety and wit of the Marx Brothers. Stan Laurel was an unparallelled comedic genius.
While on a trip to Los Angeles several years ago, I went out of the way to find both of their graves. Stan has a beautiful plot in Forest Lawn, but Ollie's is pretty hard to find in an out-of-the way cemetery that is decidedly less prestigious. Oh, and we also sought out the famous staircase where they filmed their Oscar-winning short 'The Music Box'.
Marching along, two thousand strong Far from our sweethearts and wives (God bless them)...

Oh man, I need to do some revisiting of these films. I hope my VHS tapes still work.

There are lots of modestly priced DVD collections to be had, and some of their films can be found on Youtube.
My personal favorite is Way Out West.

Don't give in! Just starve yourself like I've been doing! Wait... that's not healthy.
