I couldnt find it on eventbrite til I saw your link. It worked up until I logged in, then the event disappeared. Also, it looks like other than the bus trip to Greystone Sunday is a nothing happening day since only Friday /Saturday combo tickets and separate Friday and Saturday tickets being sold. It's really pretty much a 2 day event then excluding the Greystone tour. Guess  I'll spend the day at the hotel mingling and enjoying the pool then.

The page is back up but still not working properly. The credit card I have on file with eventbrite was declined at checkout.

We were told it could take a day to fix. That's looking to be true.

An actor from the 1991 series is supposed to be joining fans on the Greystone tour. I wonder who that might be. And the tour is supposed to be via a "luxury" bus. I'd like to see precisely how they define luxury.

It looks like the Dark Shadows fest room rate at the Westin for Fri-Sun is sold out but the 3 days prior and day after are still available at Fest rate. However rooms are still available for Fri-Sun for those who havent booked yet, just at higher price. When I first booked earlier, Sunday wasn't available so I booked Fri and Sat at fest rate and Sunday using AAA rate. When additional rooms were added , I was able to add Sunday to Fest reservation and cancel AAA reservation.  The difference looked to be about $25/ night,  which isnt bad. So anyone still wanting to go, I would make my reservations now ..if you are staying longer, book the earlier dates at the fest rate and should they add addtional rooms for Fri-Sun, you can then change your reservation. Also, should your plans change and unable to attend, you can always cancel the reservation no charge. Good news is there appears to be strong interest in this years Fest finale attendance-wise. 🤗

Looks like more rooms were added since all dates are available with the hotel fest rate again.

That’s probably two more than Barnabas had in the Old House.  [snow_rolleyes] [snow_smileydevil]
