Current Talk '02 I / Where's little David?
« on: March 27, 2002, 06:45:51 PM »
I was just thinking while watching yesterday's episode.....there's Sarah, in the graveyard, looking for Barnabas.

Supposedly, Millicent brought her little brother (David, or was it Daniel?...please someone refresh my mind!) with her down from NY. Yet, we haven't seen nor heard from him ?!?

Then again, kids back then were meant to be seen, not heard  :-X

As a story idea, I thought it would've been kind of interesting to see these mischievous two be in the background, for instance, whilst Angelique was performing all of her spells. Perhaps suspecting her all along. Or David (Daniel?) come looking for the missing Sarah in the graveyard (now there's a switch).

Not that they would be key, pivotal players in the grand scheme of things, but somehow have them tied in.

Any thoughts on this?

These have all been interesting posts, re: relocating the DS Fest to (fill in the city of your choice).

Once upon a time, I used to be active in another national fan club. For a number of years, they had "The Meeting of the Minds" in New Orleans. Central to the Continental US, and most everyone could make it. A few years ago, they moved it to Key West  8) . The first year, it was a hit. But in subsequent years, gradual attendance was decreasing (but you couldn't tell because there is usually two other festivals going on around the same time), unless you were from "that part of the country".

Some of the factors include added cost and accessibility getting to KW vs NO. Others were finding reliable lodging in a much smaller area. The sponsoring organization did have to import the band members and pay them, an added cost  :o .

Participating in many of the "posts" similar to this one, I heard the same comments. West Coast fans wanted more in their direction. Problem was, the "head beak"  :-X and some of his compadres lived in the middle and eastern part of the country (with exception to a couple of them who lived on the Left Coast). He, as a rule, didn't aways show up, but one year he did. Mainly, band members of his showed up and played.

I guess my point is, in order to get hit by lightening, you need to go stand in the rain. It comes down to practicality and the cost of putting on such an event. These type of events are *very* costly to put on, and they entail a huge, and sometimes excruciating amount of planning and detail to pull off so *all*, or at the very least, most all will have a positive experience when putting down their own coin to attend these events.

It could be worse...they might not exist at all simply because of the cost and practicality of putting it on. Enjoy them while you can.  Better to travel and see it once than to not have the experience of going at all.

just my .02,   :-*

Can anybody picture Auntie Abigail
behind home plate as the umpire  :-X


Somehow, I see Aunt Abigail as the annoying fan who has season tickets above the home team dugout constantly screaming out criticisms:

"Hey Barnabas! You call that a swing? What are you swatting at? A fly, or a BAT?"

"Naomi! Show a little husstle out there! Happy hour isn't until AFTER the game!"

"Joshua! I've seen better hands on a clock! Who said you could field a ground ball??"

Of couse, little Sarah would be the honorary "Bat Girl"  ;D

Hey Chris!

From one "newbie" to another (although I'm known on other DS lists) glad you're here!

I've been "hungry" for some good DS discussion for some time, I'm glad this list is here!

Look forward to reading your posts  :)

I got the impression that she really didn't "die" until 1840. Throughout the series, she seemed to be an immortal, so no matter what happened, she would always me around in some form or another, always ready to antagonize Barnabas.

....she was shot this time in the shoulder, she was able to mend herself eventually after she "came to". She wasn't able to do the same for herself in 1840, when she was shot in the heart by Lamar. She had givnen up her powers for Barnabas by then.....(please refresh my memory if I recall this wrong).
