Brava, Julie! After hearing you sing again at the gala on Saturday, I'm more sure than ever that you deserve to win this competition. I will be giving you my votes on July 27.
Thanks -- and thank you to ALL of you who stopped me at the Fest and expressed your support for me. Some of you undoubtedly saw me with the primary reason I'm pushing so hard to try to win this prize, my 12 year old son. He was really afraid he was going to be bored, but by the end of Friday night, he was saying, "I'm having WAY more fun than I thought I would!" He enjoyed David Selby, John Karlen, and both Jonathan Frid performances.
I also have to mention an appearance that I enjoyed WAY more than I thought I would, too -- composer Bob Cobert. He was HYSTERICALLY funny as he offered us some insights on composing in general and his scores for DS and other Dan Curtis productions in particular. However, "scoring" of another kind was the topic for a while as this 83 year old man (who, by the way, looks wonderful) "made time" with one of his young female questioners. "Hey, I'm 83 years old, so don't expect too much," he joked.
