BLOGATHON ANNOUNCEMENT – Part Deux

The response to my upcoming blogathon ~ slight name change ~ “CLASSIC SYMBIOTIC COLLABORATIONS: The Star-Director Blogathon” has been so warmly supported I’m rather speechless. ( Who am I kidding…I can talk ’till the cows come home. ) I want to say thank you again for all who’re participating. I seem to have struck the Mother Lode ( …duly recognizing my own blog’s “needle-in-the-haystack” existence in the sandbox of the blogosphere ) of talented bloggers out there. 

I want to give you an easy-to-read roster of who has already signed up ( sans cluttery rules, guidelines and banners which you can find in my original announcement here. ) Alright, so I couldn’t resist posting the banners:

  

If you know any bloggers who might be interested in writing about their favorite star-director collaborations from the classic era, please send them to the comments section below or to that section on my original announcement ( here ). 

I’m going to make DECEMBER 19th, the cut-off time for submissions so I can concentrate on creating a pleasant presentation for my ‘thon when the event is in full swing and sway. ( You know how it is…first impressions and all ). If there are any other bloggers out there who are interested in joining…I’d love to have you. 

Thank you again!

Please check this directory for any updates. ( Listed alphabetically here. ) During the event, I will upload your posts as I receive them. Wait a second…am I the only blogger here with the hubris and audacity to put my own picture in my blog’s banner? I would say that’s character actress Theresa Harris sitting on my couch, but you guys are too smart for that wooden nickel to be pulled over your eyes:
