Bloomington Brats Oasis #286

Bloomington Brats Oasis #286 Official page for the Bloomington Brats Tent (chapter) of Sons of the Desert - the international Laurel & Hardy appreciation society. Oasis #286.

The Brats Tent meets monthly (September to June) to provide members and guests an opportunity for fun, food, friends, and laughter. The format of our meetings is a social hour, followed by dinner (optional, but recommended!) and a film program. It is very informal - come as you are! In keeping with our purpose as a member tent of the Laurel & Hardy appreciation society, our film programs emphasize

Laurel & Hardy. But we also regularly feature films by other great comedians of the era as well - Our Gang (Little Rascals), Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and others, along with cartoons from the "Golden Age" of animation. We believe that as wonderful as it is to watch these great comedies at home (and we highly recommend that you do!), there is no substitute for seeing them in a room full of people who enjoy them as much as you do! This is, after all, how they were meant to be seen. New members are always welcome! We would love to see you and your families at an upcoming meeting!

Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2021!

Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2021!

All the best for 2021. Let's hope we have actual Laurel & Hardy events this year, especially as we celebrate 100 years since Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy appeared together in 'Lucky Dog'.

Hey Brats - The DVD version of the new, restored L&H collection I ordered for the tent arrived yesterday, and after previewing a few of the titles all I can say is, "Wow!" This is as advertised - absolutely spectacular. Can't wait until we can meet again so we can start enjoying these together! In the meantime, it would absolutely be a great addition to your personal collection. Also available in Blu-ray (in a couple of weeks), and I really can't wait to see what this looks like in 4K!
