Welcome to the Way Out West Tent

The Sons of the Desert is the International Laurel & Hardy Society

Welcome to the Way Out West Tent home page! The name of our tent is taken from the 1937 feature staring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Since the film was set in the fictional town of Brushwood Gulch, we have tried to recreate that place here in cyberspace.

Our September newsletter is now online, with the latest banquet information.

The Way Out West Tent was founded in 1967 as the fifth chapter of the Sons of the Desert. Today, we are among one of the largest and most active tents around. We meet in North Hollywood about six times a year, plus we have an annual celebrity banquet. Because of our proximity to the stars, many of the great L&H celebrities have graced us with their presence at our meetings or banquets. In 1980, we hosted the 2nd International Convention. Our members have also been responsible for locating many of the original L&H film locations. For more information, see our Frequently Asked Questions page. Here's what our site has to offer:
