Hope you're having a great birthday out there in Vegas, Craig_Slocum!

Well, my tale of woe is a bit different.  CDuniverse, which has been super fast to get my DS DVDs to me in the past has not even sent #5 to me yet. When I inquired I was told that they have not received a copy yet to send me. Hmmm, maybe if I wait long enough I will get a corrected set.

As a side note: Donna McKecknie(sp) was the lead dancer I believe in a show called 'Hullabaloo' from the mid-60's.  We've seen some of the videos and she is quite talented at least as far as the dancing goes. It's too bad that they had those huge eyelashes on her for Dark Shadows since she was so naturally pretty.

She certainly was a talented dancer and she can still do some of the steps. In her show she talks about Hullabaloo-it's where she first met Michael Bennett. As to the eyelashes--when Midnite and I saw her in the lobby after the show, guess what she was wearing; great huge false eyelashes  :-   See the picture under the heading "Born to Diva"

Great review, Midnite. And I have to say that for the most part I agree with you.   Though not the best one-woman show I ever seen  (especially having seen Elaine Stritch do HER  solo show in the same week) Mckechnie nevertheless was enjoyable to watch and I really enjoyed her singing.  The finale was nostalgic for me too, since I did see her in A Chorus Line in San Francisco many long years ago.  I loved your comments about the audience. It's been a long time since I've considered myself one of the younger members of an audience.

The best part of the whole day, though, was having dinner with DS friends.  Midnite and I never miss a chance to get together and we were lucky enough to be joined by Profstokes and Victoriawinters. If it really is the end for the yearly Fest, these opportunities to get together with other DSers  will be even more important.

One last thing about McKechnie--she looked much better in the lobby than she did  on the stage.  I guess stage lighting is not always flattering.

I am having a similar problem Cassandra, ...

It was a relief to see that someone else had this also because I was beginning to think that my computer was possessed!!  LOL!!!

What I find fascinating about this from a programming standpoint is that the same PHP script (Post.php) is called for posting both topics/replys on the boards and sending/replying to IMs. It should act the same way in both cases. But, Cassandra, you seem to be indicating that you're only having the problem of a wider box when you use the IM feature. Or does the same thing happen for topics/replys? And what about you, Bette - do you only get it for IMs or both?

OK, I'm replyng to your post and my message box is still too long for the screen, just like it is when I IM.

I also think it might be fun for fans to think of getting together just to socialize and share the weirdness that is DS.  That, for me, is why I kept going back.

The NYC Festivals have turned into cattle calls in recent years.  I would prefer something a little more intimate and low-key, myself.

That is a wonderful suggestion Steve, and I wholeheartedly agree. The people that I have met are the only reason that I look forward to the Fests. I just hope that if it happens, it won't always be on the east coast.

I think that it happens even in reply, but I'll have to let you know for sure when I try it from home, which probably won't be until tomorrow after work.

But there he was this AM on Mysteries and Scandals on E!.  (He wasn't mysteroius or scandalous-didn't even touch his hair)

What was this about?

I didn't see it, but my guess would be that it was about the life and death of the actor Peter Deuel, who starred in Alias Smith and Jones when he killed himself. Davis was a friend of his and took his place in the series.
