Thanks for posting the link Timmers. I for one am VERY happy they choose Hollywood as the site for the next Festival locale.

Bob,

Disneyland is in Anaheim, not Hollywood. 

At this point, I'm just happy they chose a location near a real airport.

Hi Tim, Thanks for the update!!!!

Hurray! Back to Southern California next year!

Victoriawinters, Profstokes, Midnite and I won't have to hassle with LAX  (or even Long Beach). That is cause for celebration. 

I will be very interested to see what hotel they have selected. Hollywood is not the best of neighborhoods, but it does have one or two good hotels.

      HURRAY!!

      HURRAY!!   

I feel your joy!

Not only LAX, but also Burbank/Bob Hope (the preferred choice at Midnite's house).

it does have one or two good hotels.

The Renaissance Hollywood is a Marriott hotel, isn't it?  That would be nice.

Will there be an official shopping expedition to Prada?

The thought of the footwear choices makes my head reel!

Well, if the location is really Hollywood, it's more likely to be a shopping expedition at Frederick's of Hollywood, or maybe a trip to the Max Factor Museum.

Hope you are right about the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel, Midnite.

Here's a link to the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel.  Looks like the perfect place for a gathering.

I'm really curious about the mention of several first-timers.  Could it be that Kate Jackson will be making her debut at a DS function?  After all, she has been making the rounds at other fan conventions.  Normally, I don't make any effort to meet any of the cast members, but I would absolutely wait in line to meet Kate.  Along with Cher and Mary Tyler Moore, Kate Jackson was an icon of my childhood.  Of course, I'd probably be too nervous to speak to her...

In any event, I am thrilled about the Los Angeles location.  It's a city I remember with great relish...and the other condiments were good, too.

Thank you!  I'll be here all week!

Regards,

Jean-Claude

There has been a great deal of re-development and it's not the total dump it once was.  And, yes no airfare this year!  Hurray!  And, I'll have my car.  Even better!

The Hotel Roosevelt could also be a spooktacular place to have a DS Festival.  It's supposed to be haunted.

Will there be an official shopping expedition to Prada?

Whereever you want to go darlin'.  However, I'm sure it will mean a trip to Neiman's or Rodeo Drive for all the real fashion.  A field trip to Chanel could be in your stars or the Beverly Center.  West Hollywood can be a hot spot for some fashion.  Moi, turn down a shopping trip?  Never!

[Gothick]

Actually, I'll probably be up on the Farm in Ontario with my boyfriend that weekend.  In any event the LA fests are pretty much beyond my budget.  But I'll be there in spirit...

How divinely appropriate, darling...

Hooray!!  I will FINALLY be able to go to the Fest in California!!  I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so there WILL be airfare expenses, but it will be MUCH CHEAPER and CLOSER to me!! 

Actually, driving IS an option, too.  But I would much rather pay more money and fly to get there faster.  I could save money by driving, but it is too boring to drive for 6-8 hours.

HOW EXCITING!!    I hope there will be MANY DS Stars who were NOT in attendence this year and last year.  It will be my third Fest.  I will be there!!
