Hello.  Long time fan first time festival attender here.  I missed a lot of events because I don't like to keep a strict schedule of activities when I'm on vacation - I keep it casual.  This did result in my missing a lot, though.  Just means I have to attend next year!

I recently viewed Jerry Lacy's interview on the Dark Shadows dvd's and became really entranced with him.  So very handsome!  I was very anxious and happily did get his autograph and a picture taken with him.

Another love of mine is John Karlen.  What a character!  Was fortunate enough to get his autograph but my camera was malfuntioning so no picture.  I absolutely loved seeing the clip of Willie in the dream curse.  Talk about over the top!  It was truly fantastic.  The audience roared and I had tears coming down my face.

I attended David Selby's event but didn't get his autograph or picture.  David still so very handsome.

I didn't get close to Jonathan Frid.  Wanted to respect his space.

I met, got autographs and pictures taken with the ladies.  Wow!  They are all so beautiful.

I enjoyed the festival events that I did attend but by far the best part for me was the other fans.  I met so many wonderful people and look forward to seeing some or all of them at future festivals.  So many animated converstions about the show's characters, different timelines and parrallel time.  I would look over at my husband sitting there quietly (he's not a fan) and realize how bizarre this all must have sounded to an outsider.  It made me smile.
