Thank you so much!👋
09-30 18:28
Rush:
How did you find out about uus?
09-30 18:29
Rush:
At our site?
09-30 18:30
Barbie Dahl:
Love watching CC films on YouTube and was researching the Chan family. Went down the rabbit hole and, fortunately, found CharlieChan.org
09-30 18:30
Rush:
AH!
09-30 18:30
Barbie Dahl:
Yes, at the site.
09-30 18:30
Matt:
Hello Rush and BD!
09-30 18:30
Rush:
Well…I am glad that yht tunnel led you here!
09-30 18:31
Rush:
hello, matt!
Good evening! How was your week “off”?
09-30 18:32
Matt:
Good start at Disney, but Helene devastated our area on the day before we returned
09-30 18:32
Rush:
BD is new and chanced upon us through Internet surfing while researching Charlie Chan.
09-30 18:32
Matt:
Welcome BD!
09-30 18:32
Barbie Dahl:
Thank you!
09-30 18:32
Rush:
OH…I am sorry about that. I hope that that was the only thing the the hurricane affected negatively for you.
09-30 18:33
Matt:
A lot of damage around here…..gonna take a LONG time to recuperate
09-30 18:33
Barbie Dahl:
Yes, glad you weren’t harmed. It was a very dangerous storm.
09-30 18:34
Rush:
BD, this is the slower time during which people are ablr to arrive.
09-30 18:34
Matt:
Curious how Hounder made out in Asheville
09-30 18:34
Rush:
As you will see, most come in at the last minute!
09-30 18:34
Barbie Dahl:
09-30 18:34
Matt:
Next week looks like a FUN week!
09-30 18:34
Rush:
I do have one “extra” for tonight that vaguely relates to our movie’s location…Malibu, CA.
09-30 18:35
Barbie Dahl:
Kewl!
09-30 18:35
Rush:
Yes, next week we celebrate Warner Oland’s birthday with a shared viewing of “The Black camel.”
09-30 18:35
Matt:
Probably my favorite Chan
09-30 18:36
Rush:
I searched for a video about malibu itself, but had no luck, really.
09-30 18:36
Rush:
So, i have one where we experience a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway to malibu.
09-30 18:36
Barbie Dahl:
That’s a good, early one. But I’m biased. 
09-30 18:37
Rush:
In our movie, we see some scenes that were shot along that famous highway.
California Highway 1.
09-30 18:38
Rush:
It runs about 6 minutes, so we can wait a while, in case others arrive.
09-30 18:39
Rush:
We usually have about 10 of us at one time for our weekly chats.
We have been doing this for more than 20 years.
09-30 18:39
Barbie Dahl:
Wow.
09-30 18:39
Rush:
Last week we only had six of us.
09-30 18:40
Rush:
Yes.
I calculate that tonight will be Chat Number 1,275.
09-30 18:40
Rush:
Basically, we discuss the movie, and have a lot of FUN.
09-30 18:40
Barbie Dahl:
Damn. I’ve been missing out.😉
09-30 18:41
Rush:
We are not overly serious.
well, BD…hopefully there will be much more to come!
09-30 18:41
Barbie Dahl:
You can’t be too serious when the Chan kids or Birmingham are involved. 
09-30 18:42
Rush:
And, as a first-timer…yours is the Seat of Honor tonight!
True, BD!!!
09-30 18:42
Barbie Dahl:
Oh, oh. Hot seat! Lol
09-30 18:42
Rush:
Do uou have a personal copy of “The Trap”?
Not heated…just welcoming!
09-30 18:43
Barbie Dahl:
No. I’m looking into some DVD sets but I just enjoy them on YouTube right now. There’s a channel, Billy’s Joint, where we watch a lot of Chan, Holmes, Moto et al
09-30 18:44
Rush:
As Mat said about “The Black Camel,” it is probably his favorite Chan movie. That is true for me as well.
BD…that works fine!
09-30 18:45
Rush:
There are a couple of tghe Monograms that are not always available online, but if Billy’s Joint has them, please let me know~!
LOU!
WELCOME!!!
09-30 18:45
Matt:
Hello Lou!
09-30 18:45
Barbie Dahl:
Billy did a Sherlock Holmes birthday triple feature for me on September 4th.
09-30 18:45
HonoluLou:
Hello all. Happy Monday.
09-30 18:45
Rush:
Lou…please meet our newest member…BD!
09-30 18:46
Barbie Dahl:
Hello, Lou. Pleased to meet you and Rush and Matt.
09-30 18:46
HonoluLou:
Hi, Barbie Dahl. Welcome to the chat.
09-30 18:46
Rush:
BD, Lou is our Earl Derr Biggers GURU!
He has a great blog as well!
09-30 18:46
Barbie Dahl:
Yes. I watched Shadows Over Chinatown last week.
09-30 18:46
Rush:
Very good!
09-30 18:47
Barbie Dahl:
Oh, that’s kewl, Lou.
09-30 18:47
Rush:
I really enjoy the Monogram Chan films as well.
09-30 18:47
Barbie Dahl:

09-30 18:47
HonoluLou:
BD, I’m also a Shaka Sherlockian. Just joined their group online.
09-30 18:47
Barbie Dahl:
Mr. Chan! Mr. Chan!
09-30 18:48
Rush:
Lou…as that 100th anniversary nears, I agree we need to try to do some really special things!
Yes, BD! Famous words!
09-30 18:48
HonoluLou:
Rush, I agree. Something…ANYTHING!
09-30 18:48
Matt:
Totally agree!
09-30 18:49
Barbie Dahl:
That WOULD be kewl.
09-30 18:50
Rush:
One possibility would be to gather some of us at Earl Derr Biggers’ birthplace for an in-person celebration.
09-30 18:50
Barbie Dahl:
Where is that?
09-30 18:50
HonoluLou:
Rush, I’m going to Estes Park, CO next year to the “7 Keys Lodge”. I believe theirs the Koa Wood key there in thier key room that Honolulu gived biggers.
09-30 18:50
Rush:
I think that would be within reasonable “reach” for a number of us.
09-30 18:50
Matt:
I say Lou flies us all to Hawaii and we can have Steve play his Black Camel film?
09-30 18:50
Rush:
Yes, Lou?
09-30 18:51
Matt:
09-30 18:51
HonoluLou:
Matt, Rush and I did that already
09-30 18:51
Rush:
Matt, would that that could happen! And, who knows!
09-30 18:51
Barbie Dahl:
I can afford THAT!
09-30 18:52
Rush:
If some of us could make it there, I would probably be able to put that together for me.
09-30 18:52
Rush:
AH!
See…BD, our newest, is possibly in!
09-30 18:53
Rush:
