i saw nothing in that shadowgram about not being able to videotape so i plan on doing so.

That would be the logical assumption. ;)

Yes, and you spell that M-s-C-r-i-s-e-y-d-e. ;D

Yes, and you spell that M-s-C-r-i-s-e-y-d-e. ;D
If your bank will indeed cash checks made out to M-s-C-r-i-s-e-y-d-e, then I'd like to open an account there and deposit some of these BobubasBucks. ;)

The event is completely unrelated to the Dark Shadows Festival. I'll find out who to make the checks out to and post it here.

That's very interesting since SG specifically states:

From the [ gorgeous ] poster on www.collinwood.net:
"Appearing in person in costume as their original characters... Lara Parker (as Angelique the witch) and KLS (as Josette DuPres)"

As one who has worked retail for years, this won't be a problem because they will stamp the back of it when they endorse it and that's all the bank really cares about. ;)

I believe I will work it out so I can go. I'll be appearing at Hasa, the Leviathan. Fun, Fun.
