I have to agree with those who said that Frid's comment about GH wasn't nasty or disrespectful at all. He was, as always, a gentleman.
I had a wonderful time, all around, at this year's festival, but for me, the lowest point was the banquet food. No, we know it's never a great meal, but I easily could have done the rubber chicken thing instead of that awful veggie lasagna. It was as if someone used Elmer's Glue to keep it all together. I didn't eat it, but two of my roommates who did got sick from it -- eeeewwww! And no cheesecake? Hey, that gave AngeliqueWins and I nothing to stake, as was mentioned! Darn! A tradition we had to forego until next year.
The only other comment I have concerning Frid was, I didn't feel he was well-served by those who should have been looking out for him. Last year, when Nancy was there, she was unbelievably attentive and made sure he was taken care of well. I didn't get that sense at all this year. In fact, I saw him wandering around by himself several times. That's fine for the younger actors, but for him, it had to be a bit annoying to have to deal with some overzealous fans who wouldn't give him his space. That's just my opinion, of course, but it made me kind of angry to see that happen to him.
