Hope you enjoy yourself here .

« on: February 06, 2007, 02:15:04 AM »Something was done about any future incidents occurring. The man in question had a chaperone who was not paying attention at the time of the incident. The chaperone was told that he must be with the gentleman at all times at the festival to prevent another incident of its kind from happening. There should have been volunteers at the stage as well and there were not. A screw up, obviously. But this gentleman and his chaperone have attended subsequent DS events without any further incident.
Nancy
I remember this incident quite well and agree the gentleman should have had his chaperone attending him. We had a down symdrome friend of our family who was perfectly fine with people he knew but outside of his comfort zone he sometimes became difficult when stressed or around large groups of people. However as I was a volunteer a few years in a row I can tell you that I would not have been equipt to handle that situation. My first volunteer experience was not pleasant as one young lady told me to "F" off
when I told her what door she needed to leave from. That was my first fest too but that was just one bad experience out of many great ones that weekend. Sounds like we need some bouncers at the doors

« on: February 02, 2007, 05:58:59 PM »I see bad behavior on public transit & in movie theatres all the time.
Disruptive people are asked to leave & everyone moves on.
But at cons, rude, abusive, disruptive and even vindictive people are cheered on!
And that's what sets cons apart from the real world.
It's the people at the top who set the stage for what goes on at any event.
I no longer attend cons of any kind because of this.
I have seen the bad behavior but never saw it cheered on thank goodness. I would like to mention that I have seen kindness and a sense of welcome that I was surprised to find the first time I went. I guess a small group of people can make life miserable but that is when we need to search out those good ones who make the fest enjoyable and worth going. Some of the friends I met through the fest are people who either came right up to me or I just started talking to them. We can't change people but at least we can choose who we socialize with.

Wow there are some scary and humorous stories out there about the fest. Now MsCriseyde you should have just asked the gentleman " Do you honestly think I would be sitting out here in the hall reading if David Selby were in my roon" 
. At several fest I have seen people wandering the halls just knocking randomly on doors looking for Selby,KLS,John Karlan or any one of them really.
As far as the mean spirited stuff that is really unfortunate. Thankfully most fans are well intentioned and just enjoy the weekend for what it is. A big reunion of sorts. Thats how I look at it.

« on: January 27, 2007, 10:28:00 PM »since alexandra penned the foreward to "dark shadows memories",attended the 2001 museum of television and radio tribute to dark shadows and is narrating the newly released first year dvds i don't think she's really "snubbed" the fans either.
but something about the live nature of the fests seems to scare her off.i find it extremely distressing that the claus von bulow business is still on people's minds and that is one of the reasons she never comes.it's the fans that are really missing out on that one.
There would always be that one person at a fest that would bring something of that nature up. Sometimes I am amazed at the poor manners people use at these fest. I've volunteered and just watched on several occasions. People in the lines willl go on forever and ask really strange questions. I've heard people comment directly to the person about weight gain, drinking, and within ear shot say something rude. Plus if you do dislike large crowds I can imagine. Maybe if the next event is much smaller and she may consider attending. That would be wonderful.

A one day event or in the Halloween event an evening would not be enough to fly me out to either coast. I think both areas have enough fans to support a small day or evening gathering. As long as the key players show up (KLS,Selby,Lara etc) that would be ok with most fans who are going for something small. As far as anyone making sales from books,videos etc that would be a loss. With Kathryn's business savy I'm surprised she could have her company organize an event.
I like everyone else cannot sit for months and then in a few months notice try and get good airfare and hope no one else at work has requested time off.
PS- I checked my receipts and saw last year I made my reservation in March. I had procrastinated and was worried the hotel would be booked. It almost was when we made the reservations at that time.

Yeah if that happens I will be more than happy to clean the joint up afterwards.

« on: January 11, 2007, 11:39:25 AM »Well, maybe if they have an event like that I might sign up, maybe if the fest is on this coast again this year. I tend to talk myself out of things (lol I HATE it) but once I signed up and was committed I'd HAVE to do it because I'm not one to let go of my committments.
Anyway, I count two maybe's and a might up there. If the two maybe's are met, then I'll probably sign up lol. I do hope the fest comes back to the east coast soon!
I'm sure you would have a great time doing it so just work on not talking yourself out of it. I am also hoping for an east coast fest.

« on: January 10, 2007, 11:33:12 AM »Thanks Teresalita!
I'd love to particpate in something like that, but I don't know if I could get over stage fright or not! lol! Sometime I get emabarassed without even knowing it and my face gets all red. Maybe if I held a script to look at it wouldn't be so bad....
I'm sure you would be just fine. Profstokes could give you some pointers. She was once a newbie up on that stage but now just a seasoned pro.
PS I get embarresed easily too and my face gets all red without knowing it. I hate it but some people tell me it is charming. Go figure!

« on: January 10, 2007, 12:02:25 AM »Another cool fan event would be to pick fan favorite episodes and have people sign up to play the DS characters. We, the fans, could do the same thing that the stars did this past year--recreate the first and last episodes on stage, or episodes of the fans or committee's choosing.
I think that is a terrific idea!
