I have to ask, did Barbara Steele sign any autographs? (He doth ask with baited breath...)
I couldn't tell you if she sat at the autograph table (see reply #8
![[hall2_rolleyes]](http://www.dsboards.com/SMF/Smileys/classic/hall2_rolleyes.gif "Roll Eyes")
) but I asked her to sign a photo of her as Dr. Hoffman and she was very gracious and friendly. I was tickled crimson.
Switching reels again, I was trying to figure out why I'm not feeling the same disappointment about the evening as ProfStokes and joe integlia. Then it hit me-- duh, it's because my expectations about the scheduled events were so low. The last ShadowGram had already downgraded the musical portion so far that I wouldn't have been surprised if they'd just played a music CD while Robert Cobert sat in the audience (and I was half right). I hadn't seen the tribute to Dan Curtis, and I'm glad I got to see his Emmy presentation and speech, but I knew at the recent Fest that I'd have numerous chances to see it. The [ShadowGram] promise of a "big-screen presentation of unusual DS material" seemed suspect to me as well, and I'm sorry, but the NoDS trailer and blooper reel do not qualify. I even debated blowing off the evening, but decided that catching up with friends, some that I hadn't seen in a year or more, made it worth being there, plus I wanted to meet Barbara Steele, and for those reasons the night didn't disappoint.
