I kept wondering when I was hearing Jonathan Frid might be coming this year, why this year and not last? Then it made sense while I was reading these comments, he didn't start on the show until 1967. So, 40 years of Barnabas would be this year! I'm a little slow, lol........This will be quite an event if it all comes off. I really never thought that Jonathan would ever attend another festival. I'm a little surprised at the location, though. The hotel in Tarrytown is a little smaller, I seem to remember. I would think that this will be a 'huge' event with him coming. And yes, I agree with the person who said we had better be on our best behavior! I'm sure we will be told ahead of time---I doubt there will be autographs, they will undoubtedly restrict video recording, like last year, ect. And Jonathan is 82, or 83, and at times has seemed to be a bit testy, even I saw it in 1993. So, yes, we all best be on our best behavior! But I am so greatful he is coming..........
