Dates, location for Fest '11?

[Mysterious Benefactor]

I never meant to imply the Depp/DS film would be completed by the Fest - only that if there's any footage available by the time the Fest might take place (and considering how things have been progressing, that's A HUGE IF!), Warner Bros. *might* prefer to make any sort of presentation of it in CA rather than NY or NJ. But even without the film factoring in, there is precedent for consecutive Fests on the West Coast, just as there's precedent for consecutive Fests on the East Coast.    We should never simply presume that they always alternate.

Do a fest here in San Francisco. The fog and the Victorian houses will make everyone feel like they're in Collinsport!

YAY!...Not that I dislike CA by any means - but this is much closer to me and more of a possibility. 

Thanks for the clip SaraMonster.

They won't even begin filming until at least January.  But knowing what a perfectionist Johnny Depp is, it doesn't surprise me that this happened.

I didn't think it was a fault to be a perfectionist.  Maybe that is just me??

As for the fest I truly hope it's in NYC as it would be easier for my pocket book and a great place to celebrate the 45Th anniversary in the city where it all began!

Of course, nothing beats the glory years when the Fest was at the Marriott Marquis in the heart of the theater district and rooms were only $99.00 per night.

AMEN to that Claude. $99.00 a night was FANTASTIC. 1997 at the Marriott holds especially fond memories for me. It was Nancy Barrett's first Festival and I not only got the opportunity to meet her, but several of us spent quite a bit of time with her that weekend. Highlights for me included her modeling my 1897 t-shirt design, and the peck on the cheek she gave me.

So nice Bobubas!  I regret that Nancy doesn't come anymore because out of all the cast she is one I would truly love to meet.

i've met nancy at two or three fests since 2003. has she made an official announcement that she will no longer be in attendance or has she just been absent in recent years?

my introduction to nancy inadvertently lead to some dramz with lara parker at the 2003 brooklyn fest. when i attended that year(my first)i was just watching the show through for the first time from the beginning and at that point had not yet gotten to the 1795 storyline(and thus ms.parker's arrival on the scene). nancy was seated next to lara in the autograph line and i told nancy how cute i thought carolyn was. then i asked lara for her autograph even though i hadn't gotten to her part on the program yet...

well la parker gave me a death glare worthy of angelique at her most scornful!
