Even with Roger Davis's comments about his money and Don Briscoe (actually, I was more irked that he brought up Karlen's son), I thought he was better behaved than in some of his previous appearances. In any event, I'm glad that he's still with us, and was able to attend the Festival.
Roger, Roger, Roger. I am also glad he is recovering from his medical crisis, but based on the way he ticked off my close friend, I'd say he was as obnoxious as ever. During Sunday's activities he went into the Daily Grill where of course he did not go unrecognized, and another friend noticed him snatching bread from off the bar (meant for someone else, I might add) so she offered him some of her fries which he took, but then he reached over her and put his hands (uninvited and unwelcome) into my friend's plate and grabbed the lettuce and tomato off of it. Had he asked, she would feel very differently, but he caught her so by surprise that she didn't even have a chance to react.
I thought the performance of "the lost script" was a big disappointment. ... I was more impressed with Robert Rodan: his voice is still deep and resonant, and he read Adam's lines with the character's typical befuddlement and impatience.
I've listened to his voice as the conductor in the DS Reborn tape over and over and couldn't get that it was Rodan, but in the Lost Script enactment, I could hear both the conductor's voice and Adam's, if that makes sense.
But I still say that something can't be "lost" once you've found it, but I already harped on that well before the Fest, lol.
Jerry Lacy watched clips of all of his performances as Trask (but not Tony Peterson).
In that "Many Faces of Trask" segment, shouldn't there have been a clip of the butler? JL is just so handsome, which apparently prompted one fan during his Q&A to tell him she wanted to hug him and smell him. Security!!! (
j/k)
And speaking of security, you were really REALLY missed, Nancy Kersey. To your replacement, if you are reading this, lighten up, dude.
