Hi all,
This may be a little soon to ask, but with the latest Shadowgram mailing I am starting to anticipate this years' Fest in Anaheim. I had a great time in NY last year and loved meeting so many of you and I was wondering who is planning on attending this year? Since I live in Southern California I definitely will be there and look forward to the opportunity to meet more of y'all and to see again those who helped to make last years Fest such a memorable one for me--you guys hanging out outside the bar on Saturday night know who you are! :)

Bette, I plan to attend. Hope to see ya there God willing!
-
Wow, another Southern California DS fan! :) I thought I was the only one. I will definitely be at the Anaheim Festival, and I hope to meet you, Bette. I was also considering attending the banquet. Would those of you who have gone before recommend it?

It is a nice way to end your time at the Festival.es, I would recommend .if you have the spare change. At the 2000 one, Nancey Barrett performed and last year highlights from the William Paley Festival were shown..

Wish I could....but I don't live on the Left Coast and I don't fly.
However, I'm already thinking about 2003 when you all come back to New York.....Wish I'd found you guys LAST year (sigh)!
-
Bette, it's been on my calendar for months, and I hope to finalize my plans soon. Some of my other Chicago-area friends may be going as well.
Looking forward to seeing you and all my DS buds again, as well as meeting more folks from this board. You're a great bunch! :)

(http://members.aol.com/drwoodard/batfly.gif)[shadow=red,left,300]I would also recommend attending the banquet. It is a great venue to congregrate with your friends and say goodbye one final time before everyone heads off to different parts of the country the following morning.[/shadow]

The jury is still out as to whether or not I can attend this year but would love to! BTW: Does anyone know why the information about this year's fest is no longer posted on the Dark Shadows festival page ?!? I seem to remember it once was - but when I went back to check something later it was gone. :-/

No, professor you are not the only one, though I wish there were more of us in contact with each other. There is a small group who meet around Christmas called "Shadows in the Sun." I don't think they are terribly active. :-[ I only went once to a get-together.
Hope to see you in Anaheim. :)

Hee hee!!
I'm looking forward to it, Bette, and wish everyone here could make it! For the out-of-towners, staying in Ahaheim should be a lot more entertaining than that dreary area near the airport. And with Disney celebrating it's 100th birthday plus the California Adventure theme park that's new for the 2000 Fest goers, Disneyland should be fun. :)

I'm going to pretend I didn't read that. :'(

I CAN'T WAIT to go to the festival! I've never been to one and live very close to Anaheim, so I'll be there. I have already put in for that Friday off! I don't want to get there Saturday and have everyone say "oh, you should of been here yesterday...". I don't know any people at all, besides you folks of course, who watch Dark Shadows, so it will be great to meet a whole convention center full of 'em! Yikes!
-
Should be fun this year -- the west coast events are usually a little less packed, so you can have all the Fest fun without the mosh pit interludes ;)
-
I will be attending the Dark Shadows Festival too, and am looking forward to it being in a new location. I always go for the whole weekend and attend the banquet too. The Festival weekend is the quickest one of the year for me. Here and gone, but a lot of fun! It's nice for the fans who get to see their favorite actor. I sure do miss mine. I wish Craig Slocum could be there. I hope to see some of you from the board there, it's always nice to meet new people too. Looking forward to seeing ProfStokes, and Bobubas again, I know both of you. See you in Anaheim, CA! :)
-
I'll be there for the fest and banquet. Looking forward to visiting Calif again. This will be my 4th trip out west. Another reason I am looking forward to Calif. is I am going to meet the brother of a dear friend of mine. My friend found out about 2 years ago that he had a biological brother that was given up for adoption about 1year before he himself was born. Our families have known each other so long and I had no clue about this other child.
Now I just have to find a decent air fare. I prefer to fly direct without any stops but that is expensive from my area. I hate flying as it is so so the fewer times I have to take off and land the better. :)
-
Bette my darling,
Sad to say, but it seems as I'll actually miss the Fest this year (for the first time since 1998!) Ah, well. It isn't as if we won't be seeing each other after September on a more regular basis than, say, now.
Smoochies,
Nicky (love the picture, by the by ... brings back such fond, rum-and-coke blurred memories)

Hi, Bette! :D
Well, since Midnite posted that "bar gang" photo, I thought I'd better respond ... ;)
I truly wish I could go this year, but right now it doesn't look too likely. Finances. There's hope, but it's not looking too good.
:'( :'( :'( :'(

Think positive Vlad. Do hope you are able to go. I remember you since we both were involved with the Costume Gala last year. Remember that character in black with those chains ::)

So sorry, Midnite! Of course I didn't mean to overlook you. [embg] I am very lucky to have a couple of friends fairly nearby with whom I can discuss the show; however the vast majorty of people that I know have no idea what I'm talking about when I bring up DS. I was terribly isolated before I discovered DS on the web. (Glad those days are over! :)) Still, it seems to me that most of the fans that I've met from the Internet live in the East or Midwest. About half of the regular members on one forum that I visit live in Ohio. I would have expected to see more Californians in the mix since the state is so big. I will definitely look into the Shadows in the Sun group, Bette. Thank you for that information!

(http://members.aol.com/MidniteFMR/SatFest2001.jpg)Great photo Midnite. This is the first time I've seen that one. ( I don't even recall it being taken, but that could be alcohol related) :)Would it be possible to secure a copy of it? ;)
-
Great photo Midnite. This is the first time I've seen that one. ( I don't even recall it being taken, but that could be alcohol related) :) Would it be possible to secure a copy of it? ;)
Absolutely. If any other crewmember wants a copy made, please just drop me an email.
I remember when the photo was taken but not who the shooter was!

Oh, VAM, was that you? Of course I remember you -- you had the best costume disguise of all! I don't think I ever met you when you weren't wearing the costume, or did I? You aren't in the photo posted here, are you? (Thank goodness that photo appears very small on this page -- I didn't find it very flattering of myself, personally speaking, though others may have been happy with it.) ;D
I did meet Bette who started this thread.
:)

Vlad, we exchanged a few words but did not formally meet. Hope you do get to the Fest this year-I got an even better idea for a costume!
