I love reporting all the goings on from the Turner Classic Movies Classic Film Festival, held every year in Los Angeles. Not only is it a chance to see some great films with appreciative audiences, it’s also great to catch up with online #TCMParty friends who quickly become IRL friends, and to reunite with offline friends. It’s just a big classic movie love fest, as you can read below…more tweets and IG posts after the jump.

Haha – the Zardoz cookies! Those were a real hit.
This is a brilliant summary of the festival via Twitter. Nicely done.
And some nice photos of you, too!
Thanks! I didn’t realize you were there. Maybe we will meet this year.
