Title: And now for something completely different...
Post by: Connie on August 16, 2004, 10:29:32 AM

Can you ever get enough grainy Fest photos that are shot from too far away?  I know I can't.

(http://home.earthlink.net/~lightdance/images/have-a-drink.jpg)

Let's see....here we have the woman who reportedly has no memory of Dark Shadows, (lol - I like that) then we have Ms. Angelique (ya know, it looks like that could have been a really good picture of her if I'd been anywhere near the stage), then we also have a guy on the left drinking Vasa Water (compliments of the Marriott).  Great photo, huh?  Yes - pretty bad if I do say so myself.   ::)

You always learn something new at a Fest.  When Lara was talking about what a great experience it was filming NODS and how she even got to be hung, some people started laughing.  John immediately picked up on the thread by indicating that he was not well-hung.  David said he wasn't even gonna go there.  But....if the next photo has any relevance, maybe he felt he didn't really need to.  (shrug)

I'm no good at writing event accounts - that's better left to the pros like ProfStokes (Hi Amanda).  ;D  But I suppose everyone comes away from a Fest with some sort of thoughts or impressions (yes, even me) and I feel we DEFINITELY need to know more about David's big toe and that errant horse.  John told him to take his shoe off, but he wouldn't.

Sorry, sorry....I'll try to post a couple of decent pictures of SOMEBODY in the next couple of days if anyone's interested....and if I can come up with any.  lol

No need to apologize on my account - I appreciate any and all shots posted.  And, it looks like you were closer than I was anyway, so I'm seeing, ahem, comic detail I may never have noticed otherwise.

LOL!!!! That last photo & caption was too much!

Darn Connie, I missed meeting you again this year!!!  A friend of mine, Rosella, said she met you yesterday.(Sunday)  That must have been the same time I took a drive home to pick up my banquet dress for the evening.
Oh well, maybe next year then.
Hope you had a great time!

Yeah!  I was rather disappointed when Rosella said you had gone home 'cause I had to leave and she didn't know when you were going to be back.  Plus, I KNOW I would have recognized you this year.  As it was, I didn't meet too many people.  But I DID meet Gothick and had the privilege of spending some time with him.  This was pretty much the high point of the Fest for me.  Actually I got a nice picture of him.  If he says "okay", I'll post it.

ANYWAY, as promised.....a picture from Sunday that's NOT too far away and NOT grainy!  (I don't think this gentleman needs any sort of introduction)

(http://home.earthlink.net/~lightdance/images/david-smile-2004.jpg)

It doesn't show in the photo, but his heart and mind are saying, "Connie my love, come closer..."

(Uh...yeah, okay.  Tell us another!)  LOL   ::)

love

HI Connie, what a nice way of answering my question whether you managed to meet David on Sunday!  I'm just thrilled, and very happy for you.  Those eyes still have that "razzle-dazzle" (to borrow a leaf from Nancy Barrett's cabaret show).

The photo you snapped of me is such a sweet portrait, and I look about a million times better in it than I do in what is absurdly termed "real life."  I'd be honored to have you post it here.

hugs, Steve

What an excellent photo Connie! I completely agree with Gothick about his eyes - major razzle dazzle!!!  :-*

Oh horseshit. ::)   You look the same in the picture as you do in "real life."   :-*

It was a pleasure meeting you too!
Only it's frustrating not having the opportunity to sit, talk, maybe connect in some way, have a laugh or two.  At the Fests with people coming, going, busy with other stuff, you meet them, but barely, you know?

Anyway, MORE PICTURES.  Here's a picture of me with JT Selby.  My son took this one.

Ya know, he's awfully nice.  (Like father, like son)

 ;D

Here's another one my son took.  He was thrilled to be allowed to use the camera - wanted to go "express himself" with it.  ROTFL

Not bad, huh?

Heeeeeey - Gothick! Were you selling photos at that long table at the end of the room?  Because I'm pretty sure I bought my a John Karlen and Nancy Barrett photos from you!  And now that you've posted your picture too, I feel fairly certain I saw you too Connie!

Well, a belated hello to both of you!

No, I'm not a vendor (***THANK THE GODS!!!!***--I really do not know how those folks survive those events!).  When Connie snapped the picture, I was spending some time hanging out with Jay Nass, who had an *awesome* album on display of autographed studio snapshots (he was one of the "studio kids" back in the day).  Many of the photos in his album were shots I had never seen, anywhere.

Oh, dear, am I ever confused - seems to be my normal state of mind anymore. I do remember seeing you though Gothick.  Sorry I missed the studio snapshots though. That kind of stuff fascinates me - I would have loved to have been able to hang out back stage even once when I was around 12 or so.  Can't imagine having been able to do it on a regular basis!  :D

Great pictures! Thanks for the early morning laugh.  From what I am seeing posted everyone looks like they had a fantastic time.  I think much better than the weekend I had at the Cape in the rain and being forsed to watch golf.   Thank goodness the hubby kept putting Gin and tonics in my hand.
