cameraman movie, buster keaton

in the afternoon i went to the u of Minnesota and saw a silent film, 'cameraman', with buster keaton. it was at Northrop auditorium. i had seen events there every so often since moving to the twin cities, including a robin williams comedy show in 2008. most recent event before this one was a Christmas edition of cirque du soleil just over a year ago. i showed up early as i heard there was popcorn available, and i got some. i also put my name in a drawing. this 1928 movie was on my list as i had read how a scene was filmed at yankee stadium. i liked it, especially when buster tricks a man into picking up something off of the pavement, then kicking him into the water. even though there was plenty of slapstick, it was a good setup in many scenes in terms of wanting to avoid making the same mistake, and this was also good.  after the q and a with the organist who backed up the movie, there was the aforementioned drawing. i was the winner of getting to meet the organist and get a close-up look at the organ. it was truly a case of 'must be present to win' and i was drawn for an earlier prize but no one responded like i did when the later names were drawn. the event moderator said she was calling an audible and awarding it to me. when i said 'works for me', there was a smattering of laughs from the crowd. sounds like i still get the other prize too, which is two tickets to another event at this venue, but don't recall which one. guess i will hear more by email soon. in the morning i ordered two more items on e-bay, a postcard as well as a CD. the former is of the winter carnival, the latter has charlie brown songs on it. i didn't do that much after getting back from the movie. there was a delay of about ten minutes after getting on the light rail. i tried to watch the anniversary special of saturday night live but laid down and missed some of it. later on, i did the dishes. during my walks i found 76 cents.
