I started writing about silent films on the internet in March of 2009. That means March of 2019 will be my ten-year anniversary, which is kind of mind-boggling. Well, I mean, not the fact that such a stretch of time equals ten years, just that I have been at this for so long!
I have a few ideas up my sleeve (giveaways and such) but I was wondering if you had any thoughts on a suitable celebration. This site started out as a place for me to deposit my silent film thoughts and took me to a place where I am producing my own silent film releases, which is absolutely staggering to me. What’s a suitable way to acknowledge that? I’m a bit stumped so I would appreciate feedback.
If you’re interested in my early stuff, here are my first five published reviews. They were published back when I was Galloping Tintypes but I decided I needed a less obscure name when I made the jump to a daily post format in 2013.
It has been quite a journey, I must say.

Congrats on 10 years! I can’t wait to read the next 10 and beyond!
It’d be a good time to start up that podcast you’ve mentioned before 😉
Another vote for starting up the podcast.
And Big Congrats to MS in advance for 10 wonderful years!
Producing DVD release of Michael Strogoff?
Someone told it’s good.
Congratulations 10 years, that’s worth celebrating! What about a special screening of one of your favourite films at the Castro, San Francisco or a another cinema you like?
Cake. You can’t go wrong with cake.
It is amazing how time flies, isn’t it? Congratulations on all you have accomplished.
Pies. In the silent tradition of pie fights.
Congrats on the 10 years, here’s to 10 more.
Congratulations! I would love a series of top ten posts to celebrate your anniversary.
Maybe write about the ten Silent films that you have loved discovering the most over this last decade. Maybe let us know ten facts discovered while researching Silent films that surprised or interested you.Maybe a post on ten Silent films to show to newbies.
Maybe you could even do a post telling us about ten things that you love most about Ivan Mosjoukine. 😉
Whatever you do, I for one will look forward to reading about it.
Ten years! CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU !!!
Love all of the above celebratory ideas!! Perhaps you should have cake or pie and let US do something for YOU!
A list of our favorite posts of yours or examples of what we’ve learned from you!!
That way you can sit back, relax, chow down and truly celebrate by NOT working!!
As it’s still pre-second cup of coffee here, I shall have to ponder and get back to you!!!
🙂
