I think it's time to ask...

[borgosi]

Now that I've gotten it working...my new Avatar the way I will look at the fest, if you see me, or think you do, stop me and say...hi!   

[mspeel007]

Now THERE'S a thought, Gerard.

Hey, Nancy, why not bring the whole wedding party to the festival and have the nuptials there!  There are so many wedding scenes you can select for the bridal party to choose from to recreate:  Elizabeth and Jason; Vicki and Jeff; Carolyn and Jeb; Daphne and Gerard, and maybe a few others.  Offer it as a package deal with some extras thrown in like the afghan or the Petofi box and other props that appeared again and again as wedding gifts.  Now, your family might never speak to you again, but family weddings come and go, but there will always only be one DS!

Yipes, mspeel007!  I'm so sorry you were conned.   

borgosi, thank you for the new avatar.  That is a different look from last year.

I'll be attending, but for the Fest days only.  It sounds like I'll be missing out on some great side-trip opportunities.

I donate hair to "Locks of Love" every few years and I just gave them a 14" ponytail about two weeks ago. In a few months I'll start on another. But it is a big change.

There was some talk here about getting together the Friday morning of the fest and going to Lyndherst. If anyone still wants to we will need to come up with a meeting place, and a way to spot each other. I say we all meet in front of the hotel around 9AM. I will be wearing somekind of DS shirt. I'm driving and should have room for two if anyone wants or needs a ride.

So what do you say? Any other ideas?

Hi borgosi  i can't be at the Fest but have a great time.
       Love Anne

Hi Annie,

I hope to and I wish you could be there.

I have a Tracfone for the fest. The number is 1-706-421-3575. If anyone wants to hang out or maybe have a beer give me a call. If you want to maybe get together and visit Lyndhurst or Seaview let me know. We'll see what we can work out. The phone won't be in service until sometime on 8-13. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hey Borgosi,

I also donated a ponytail some years back to Locks of Love.  They're a wonderful group of people.

I was in NJ the weekend before last and the experience of attempting to navigate around on NJ Transit and PATH confirmed for me that I don't think I can manage the Festival this year.  I would love to have come to see my DS buddies.  It's too bad the people running the Festival decided they couldn't afford the Brooklyn hotel which was relatively convenient.

Have fun!  btw Seaview would be a long hike from there--getting there and back would be a very full day.  You might want to think about spending the night in Newport.

I'm hoping to go to Lyndhurst, Sleepy Hollow and the Scarborough/Briarcliff Manor train station before the fest and Seaview, the Black Pearl, and Essex after the fest.

After missing last year, Diane and I are looking very forward to being back. We plan on arriving Thursday and not leaving until Monday morning. Looking forward to seeing Jonathan and John K together.  As always, a great DS festival is like a fun family reunion of people you're just not blood related to, lol. Less than a week away!
