will there be any DS actors in attendance?

"exploitation"?

what a diva.

mr. frid enjoyed a very brief and rather odd fame that came to an end 40 years ago.

if his remaining fans want to enjoy his participation in this festival i can't see how he could possibly object to it.

besides isn't an event in a public place like a hotel ballroom beyond copyright?

agreed.

i detested most of 1968 but this little subplot was like a little ray of sunshine so to speak during the insufferable adam stoyline.

today's shot of liz and carolyn from 1966 appears to feature liz during the very odd and mercifully brief moment when she trades her usual towering beehive for the weird "geisha" hairstyle.

hamalain went off the deep end with that one.

mysterious,

i do have 1841 parallel time somewhere in my future. 1840 started to bore me to tears so i've gone back and rewatched a few favorite storylines in recent years.

i sort of like that there's still a part of the series i have yet to see. it's like a little treat to look forward to at some point.

but i do intend to finish the series and back on topic a new grayson hall characterization is certainly an enticement. part of the reason i felt worn out by 1840 is that it seemed to me that grayson and frid were really exhausted.

the best is a 1967 scene shortly after "miss" hoffman takes up what will ultimately become permanent residence at collinwood...

liz is trying to get a few straight answers about other books the esteemed "historian" has written. julia evades with cryptic remarks that her books would only have been of interest to "scholars". when liz persists julia craftily reverses the conversation so that liz becomes the subject all the while not answering a simple straightforward question.

liz calls her out on this "nimble" manipulation of words and just when you think it's going to get good the action shifts to another set of characters and julia dodges yet another bullet.

i've met nancy at two or three fests since 2003. has she made an official announcement that she will no longer be in attendance or has she just been absent in recent years?

my introduction to nancy inadvertently lead to some dramz with lara parker at the 2003 brooklyn fest. when i attended that year(my first)i was just watching the show through for the first time from the beginning and at that point had not yet gotten to the 1795 storyline(and thus ms.parker's arrival on the scene). nancy was seated next to lara in the autograph line and i told nancy how cute i thought carolyn was. then i asked lara for her autograph even though i hadn't gotten to her part on the program yet...

well la parker gave me a death glare worthy of angelique at her most scornful!

in general i don't order that much DS related merchandise.

i wait until the fest(when it's on the east coast)and select what i'd like there. if this is available next year i'll probable pick it up(along with the 1991 soundtrack everyone keeps talking about).

over the weekend i was in portland, maine and went into a comic store and they had at least a dozen DS comics from gold key in a bin at $4.00 each. i only bought four including one that has the same cover as volume two of this book.

as had been mentioned many,many times the gold keys are weird and the likenesses often atrocious. from the ones i've seen it seems that only barnabas,quentin,julia,elizabeth,roger,willie,angelique and professor stokes appear and then the rest of the plot is populated with strange characters not from the series itself.

oddly none of the "girls"(vicki,carolyn or maggie)ever show up at least in issues i've seen. it would be fun to see them in comic form.
