There's a new web-site call "The Blue Whale Pub" believe it or not it isn't about DS or a real pub. It's a fan site for True Blood. I don't know about you but I think that's funny. Now DS and TB are linked together. Check it out...http://thebluewhalepub.com/viewforum.php?f=143

who's going this you? And how can we find you? Maybe we can all post a recent picture of ourselves.

My neice has themed birthday parties. This year the theme is vampires! I will be in cape, tux, ans top hat, anyway I'm looking for ideas to kinda put the party over the top. They have asked me to help and I am taking me DS posters and CDs. I'm asking you guys if you have any ideas on what could add to "Oh &*%$" level of the party. Let me know if you can think of anything.

Thanks one and all,
Greg

Starring Joan Bennett on TCM 9-29-08 at 12:30 PM. "Hollow Triumph" was also know as "The Scar" and was released in 1948. Joan was listed second in the credits just below Paul Henreid. It is a "film-noir" and it tells the story of a gambler who tries to change his identity. I don't want to give away any more than that.

Check it out.

While watching Dr. Zhivago I could help but notice that "Lara's Theme/Somewhere My Love" sounds alot like Quentin's Theme, or is it just me? You can go to Amazon.com and listen to there preview of it.

Does anyone know of a company that makes music boxes or even an empty "box" like the Josette Music box? Even if they can't make the complete music, because of copywrites, maybe we could find someone that can make the box and any of us with the little toy music box could take the "music" out of the toy and put it in a real box.

Know what I mean?

I hope.

When Barnabas first came on DS I was a young boy in Georgia. We live in the country, my father was in 'Nam and I was raised in a house full of women. There was my younger brother but he was in the same boat I was. We ended up starting knowing more about cooking and sewing than football. I still know more about cooking than football. Anyway that caused me to "dislike" my father for not being there. Don't misunderstand, I have always loved my father but as a young boy I was very angry at him and thought that I really disliked him. Anyway, when Barnabas came on the show and for a few months after that, I learn that sometimes people do things, not because they want to, but because they have to. As the years have passed I have come to believe that "duty" can't always be explained and it's very hard to turn your back on it. I know know that my father wasn't in the Army or in 'Nam because he wanted to be. He was there because of "duty" not only to country but to family. He is half American Indian and when he was a young man he couldn't get the jobs that other could get. He wanted felt a duty to provide as best he could for his family and that meant joining the Army. That also meant going where they told him to go. He has always loved his country but if he could have done something different and still provide for his family I think he would have.

When I grew up I went in for some of the same reasons. To provide for my family and to try and give back to those who did it before me.

It may seem strange that a vampire could teach me about duty but the idea that Barnabas fought the need to drink to be with the person he loved, to me, is all about duty. The duty he felt to his family and Josette.

I didn't know until years later how important this show was to me or the life lesson I learned from it, but I'll never forget it. That's one reason it was so important for me to go to the fest, meet the stars and thank them.

I just wish I had been able thank Dan himself.

Anyway, did DS teach you anything? Looking back on it, why do you think it was so important to you? Or was it just a fun thing and I'm just a little crazy alot crazy ?
