Yes, Bette, you were certainly there - along with Julia99, John_in_SC, and a few of the others who travelled to Newport after the 2004 Fest but who aren't members of the forum.
I can definitely understand why I'd reassemble that group again for another trip. But who knows why, after I'd quite willingly decided not to go along myself, I'd visualize everything as if I had? And who knows why I'd send you all off on a trip lead by a deceased DS actor to places that don't actually exist?
If it had to be a deceased DS actor, you'd think I could have at least picked Grayson, considering that many in the group are such big fans of her. And why have Joel Crothers, a man who was born and raised in NYC and who, for all I know, never once stepped foot in the southern US, be the tour guide? Why not have it be the very living Nancy Barrett or Lara Parker - at least they both grew up in the south?
But then, sometimes there's just no making logical sense of some of the things we dream about, and it's useless to even try.
