Just wondering when information regarding the date, specific location, and itinerary will be announced. I'm really quite intrigued by the idea of holding the entire thing in Tarrytown, and whether there will be less emphasis on DS and more on the historic aspects of the area.

Funny you should inquire about this Claude. I have a friend who needs to make vacation arrangements at work by Dec 1st, so just last night I wrote to Jim Pierson and asked him if he could supply me with the Tarrytown dates. He replied with the following;"In 7-10 days drop me a reminder and we'll have it nailed in time for the Dec 1 deadline."

So i guess we'll all know by Dec 1st!!

I just checked the festival website and they have dates of Aug. 13-15th at the Westchester Marriott Hotel. The hotel phone # is (914) 631-2200.
According to the website info, they will visit Lyndhurst + Collinwood and it looks like the usual as fest activities goes.
I had to click through a couple pages before I found it.

Thanks! I just checked out the website.

So, uh, how is this "Dark Shadows Weekend" different from a "Dark Shadows Festival"?

Probably only in so far as they needed a new title when they'd said that the '03 gathering was the "Farewell Festival".

Well, it appears to be a Roger Davis-free gathering, which means we won't get to hear about Viewmont North.

Interesting....Shadowgram reports that the special DS discount room rate is $118. BUT, if you go to the Weschester Marriott online reservations for Aug. 13 - 15, they give a regular rate of $109.

(Maybe DS people are known to be a rowdy bunch and the $118 is not really a discount rate, but a Dark Shadows rate)

Disappointed at not being able to look forward to a whole spiel about real estate deals. Never got to hear it before, and real estate IS an important thing after all.

OHMYGOD - I didn't even notice that!! But it's all the more reason for me to move heaven and earth to attend next year.

But you know, RD wasn't listed for the 1989 NYC Fest, but he showed up anyway (complete with pre-autographed pages of the picture and bio that would have appeared in the program if they'd had enough advanced notice to have included it (and you've got to know that it's one of my MOST TREASURED possessions)):

So, just because his name isn't listed right now, we're not completely safe that he won't be there...

Maybe that higher figure is with tax included??

Not likely. That's only a $9.00 difference....Hotel taxes in this area are higher than that.

Nancy · « **Reply #14 on:** December 01, 2003, 06:51:35 PM »

Ah, yes, of course. Thanks, Rainey.

Just an old fashioned screw up, I suppose then.
