Just dawned on me that October marks the second anniversary of this blog. Seems like a good time to rest a spell on the Joel McCrea bench in Camarillo, CA. One of these days, I will sit on that bench.
Thanks to all of you who’ve passed through 50 Westerns From The 50s.

Congrats, Toby!
Congratulations on your milestone.
I’d like to join you on that bench.
Congratulations, and keep the good stuff coming.
Thanks for the kinda words. But thanks more (to you and so many others) for the back-and-forth that has shaped this blog and turned it into a lot more than I ever thought it would turn out to be.
Yeah, but remember it’s your posts and the presence of the site itself that make all the fun discussion possible.
A big congratulations, Toby!! In some ways it doesn’t seem possible it’s only been two years — you’ve become such a wonderful part of the classic film blogging community and a good friend.
It’s hard to remember back to when you and your blog weren’t here!
I didn’t know about this bench! Hmmmm, I have to figure out a way to go see it now.
Happy bloggiversary!!! With best wishes for many more,
Laura
Great to see this site doing so well, thanks to you Toby.
You make it interesting within this tight knit group of
Western Groupies.
You had Wild Bill Elliott the other day, feel Joel, Wild Bill
and Randy Scott were from the same mold….good people.
Congrats and thanks again for this wonderful outlet
each week.

I’ll add my congratulations, Toby. It’s been great the last few months to find a blog like yours where someone cares so much and is so appreciative of this richly deserving subject. The genre needs all of us that can give it its due and you are doing more than your share.
And I must say you have a wonderful crowd of people following this, some of whom have appealing blogs of their own I’ve become aware of because of yours. It’s sometimes said civility doesn’t rule in web discussions, but in this group there seems much good will and fellow feeling.
Here’s to meeting up one of these days, and that Joel McCrea bench would be an ideal place.
Congratulations on your Anniversary Toby,and I hope that the blog
lives on even after you finally get your book published!
“FINALLY get your book published” — I feel the same way.
Great job, Toby.
I love your blog.
Hardy congratulations on the second anniversary of this fabulous blog! Ride ‘em cowboy.
Hi again Toby! Wanted to be sure you’ve seen that Kristina had nice words for your blog at her blog Speakeasy:
http://hqofk.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/the-comfy-chair-linksnews-roundup-2/
She highlights one of her favorite blogs each week, and this week your’e it! Great timing.
Best wishes,
Laura
Wow, thanks for letting me know.
I’ve been busy with my real-life job and haven’t been wandering through Blogsylvania as much as I’d like.
That’s quite a thing and I’m really stoked.
Hi Toby, (and thanks Laura for the linkup! I neglected to notify the chair occupant this time, and somehow weirdly managed to time it to this anniversary!) bears repeating I love your blog! keep up the cool work.
