Ha.  I was just teasing my partner about joining me in CA to get married.  We had a little ceremony here in GA a few years ago but alas it will be a cold day in hell before it's legal here.  Clever little thing caught on to me though and said she refused to get married at a Dark Shadows Festival.  Well, she had her chance so if that other guy is gonna marry KLS then I call fantasy gay wedding dibs on LP.  But on a somewhat related note, are there any get togethers at the Fest for GLBT fans?  This will be my first Fest.

Quick question:  Do the stars charge for autographs at the Festival like they do at other cons, i.e. DragonCon?  This year will be my first and I need to start saving up the cash.

I don't know if anyone has posted this yet but Bust Magazine ran a bit on Dark Shadows inspired fashions in their Oct/Nov issue.  They have models as Angelique, Victoria, and Barnabas.  I'm including links to scans but you really have to see them in print to see how wonderful they are.
