Who are the lucky ones....who's going to the Fest and/or Newport?

Hi Josette,

I always think of you as the board cheerleader -- the one who reads everything on the scifi boards and always has something nice to say.  I'm sure I've missed some great stories.  Is Marcos still writing?  He was always one of my favorites.  I also remember telling you something about Microsoft Word -- was it changing your apostrophes and quotes from smart to straight?

Hi again, Brocman,

Marcos seems to have mostly disappeared.  At the end of last year I got a couple of e-mails from him, but there's been nothing on the boards and that was the last I heard from him.

I don't recall if you gave me any suggestions on Word or not.  I know I've had problems when converting WordPerfect to Word and the quotes and apostrophes don't come through right, so it's possible I mentioned that on the board.

It's funny that you mentioned Aimee.  I forgot that you were the one besides Gothick that she visited.  She subsequently moved to my area and I visited her a couple of times.  She subsequently moved again and was going to have me see the new place, but somehow all correspondence then stopped.  She hasn't posted in ages and I haven't heard from her.

Just thought I would ask the guestion who are the lucky ones going to the fest this year in Brooklyn, NY?
Anyone going to R.I. on the bus trip on Monday?

Hi Birdie
One of the reasons I decided to go to this years fest was the side trip to RI. I can't wait to see"Collinwood" Look for me, I will look like a huge Grape (large woman all in purple)

LdyAnne!

BrocBaby ,

Marcos has an account on the forum.  You can try emailing him-- look for Mark Branson in the cousins list.

LdyAnne, hope you have a blast!

Thanks for the info on Mark, Josette & Midnite.  I did have his phone number and snail mail too once upon a time -- although I thought he may have moved within Florida.  Will try the email.

I do think I'll go to Newport this weekend -- it's so easy from Boston.  And I'm working on Sox tickets for Bobubas -- and asked for 4, Bob, so that a friend and I can join you.  Will be sure to take digital pics.

Will try for NYC if budget and time allow.

So, who from the Board will be attending this year's Fest?  I still haven't made up my mind, and will probably continue to vacillate until the last possible moment.

Regards,

John

Hi, Claude i won't be attending this
yr because of a bad left knee.  Want
to so bad though.  Needed and waited
to meet The Q-man for so long!!!!!
            Love Anne

[Bette]

I'll be there, along with a whole contingent of Grayson Hall fans. 

Hope to meet you there, Claudenorth.

Bette

Yes John you must come!  We will be easily identifiable on Saturday for sure!  You know what i mean. . . .

[ProfStokes]

I'll be at the Fest all weekend.  In fact, I have a part in the Collinsport Players' skit, (according to the schedule, it looks like that's going to play around 1:00 on Saturday afternoon)  so those of you who will only be around on Saturday and have never met me can look for 'Maggie Evans'; I'd love to meet everyone from this board who's attending the Fest.  Seeing my friends in person is the best part of these conventions. 

John, I hope you do decide to go.

Annie, I'll say hi to David Selby for you.

Bob am going to try to make it to Newport the 25th

Great Jennifer!
We'll be at the house all day, except when we head down to the Wharf for lunch and/or dinner at the Black Pearl. 

We'll also be in your neck of the wood the later part of the 26th and most of the 27th. I see our beloved Red Sox are home against Toronto those two days. If the weather is conducive,I plan to take in the game that Tuesday night. I'm prepared to pay scalpers prices for one look at Fenway Park. 

i have to do call that monday night (hope to drive to Newport)but if you make it to boston email me! do try to make it to Fenway they sometimes have
single seats or standing room! they WON tonight with 14 runs
so WE ARE NOT OUT OF IT YET!(my family and friends are driving me nuts!)

I'll be there too!  I'm looking forward to seeing you Bette.

I'll be there the entire week-end.  You will recognize me as the woman with the tripod and/or at the costume gala on Saturday nite.  ProfStokes also forgot to tell you she'll be in that too.  That is Saturday at 8p.m.

I should also have as part of my name badge, "my name is victoriawinters."

Hope to see you all there.

Yeah!  Remember those red name badges that said, "Hello!  My name is........"  I should find one and wear it.

[Gothick]

I'm still on the fence, too, though I would love to come and visit with my friends, plus any new folks who can find me.  Just bear in mind that the crowds are HUGE, especially in the main rooms--you'll be amazed that there are that many Dark Shadows fans who live and walk the earth.

John, hope I can see you there!

Amazingly I got both a job offer for that weekend here in Boston taking photos for an AIDS triathalon and found out that one of my new friends has an apartment in New York through August 31.  (He's living in Boston so it's empty right now.)

What to do?

Hoping to hook up with Bobubas in Boston.  Sox tickets are available that night.

Probably can do Newport on Sunday but have to work on Monday.
