Something was done about any future incidents occurring. The man in question had a chaperone who was not paying attention at the time of the incident. The chaperone was told that he must be with the gentleman at all times at the festival to prevent another incident of its kind from happening. There should have been volunteers at the stage as well and there were not. A screw up, obviously. But this gentleman and his chaperone have attended subsequent DS events without any further incident.
I see bad behavior on public transit & in movie theatres all the time.
Disruptive people are asked to leave & everyone moves on.
But at cons, rude, abusive, disruptive and even vindictive people are cheered on!
And that's what sets cons apart from the real world.
It's the people at the top who set the stage for what goes on at any event.
I no longer attend cons of any kind because of this.
since alexandra penned the foreward to "dark shadows memories",attended the 2001 museum of television and radio tribute to dark shadows and is narrating the newly released first year dvds i don't think she's really "snubbed" the fans either.
but something about the live nature of the fests seems to scare her off.i find it extremely distressing that the claus von bulow business is still on people's minds and that is one of the reasons she never comes.it's the fans that are really missing out on that one.
I probably shouldn't speak for Midnite, but I suspect that she, like me, would gladly serve the food IF Frid is going to dance on the tables. It would be the least we could do.
Okay, if Nancy supplies the booze, I'll do the food -- does everyone like Italian? LOL!
Well, maybe if they have an event like that I might sign up, maybe if the fest is on this coast again this year. I tend to talk myself out of things (lol I HATE it) but once I signed up and was committed I'd HAVE to do it because I'm not one to let go of my committments.
Anyway, I count two maybe's and a might up there. If the two maybe's are met, then I'll probably sign up lol. I do hope the fest comes back to the east coast soon!
Thanks Teresalita!
I'd love to particpate in something like that, but I don't know if I could get over stage fright or not! lol! Sometime I get emabarassed without even knowing it and my face gets all red. Maybe if I held a script to look at it wouldn't be so bad....
Another cool fan event would be to pick fan favorite episodes and have people sign up to play the DS characters. We, the fans, could do the same thing that the stars did this past year--recreate the first and last episodes on stage, or episodes of the fans or committee's choosing.
