Please post any rumors about the 2012. I know I am not the only one wanting to make plans, schedule time off etc.

Maybe the Festival committee is waiting for Tim Burton to release his trailer so they can decide whether or not to invite Johnny Depp to the event?

And maybe it's time for fans who feel sufficiently motivated to do so to start organizing their own event.  I know there is already one in Connecticut somewhere or other...

Maybe we should "occupy" the Dark Shadows festival.  Take over and do it our way!  Seriously though, I just want to mark time off at work before it's too late to do so.

What activities might a Fan-Flung Fest feature?

A Mayonnaise, Boiled Dinner, and Indian Pudding taste-testing competition, juried by a panel of Mrs Johnson impersonators.  Mrs Johnson would reserve the right not to taste any mayonnaise that doesn't "smell fresh."

Panel discussions focusing on such topics as "Ryan vs. George: The Great Devlin Debate" and "Amanda Harris: Why?!!"

A contest to see who can find the most typos in a Pomegranate Press title to be chosen at random.

DS Drinking Game:  watch a marathon of KLS interviews and do a shot every time she mentions the time that JF walked on camera during the closing credits.

Also, a variation of #2: A contest to see who can find the most factual errors in a Pomegranate Press title to be chosen at random.

Those are wonderful ideas, Claude.  Some more:

Scarf, Gloves and Handbag 101:  the Julia Hoffman school of feminine comportment.  Bring a pair of your favorite gloves for the hands-on stretch and stroke part of the workshop.

Wigs, Wiglets and Witchery:  from Cassandra to Mrs. Sky Rumson: one Witch's Coiffure

Not My Bag:  the art of concealing a pistol in your favorite shopping confection, with notes from Elizabeth Collins Stoddard

The challenge with errors in a PomPress pub might be--where do you STOP.

I mean, the exercise could conceivably gobble up an entire weekend on its own account...

True - so perhaps that could be a theme: Find All The Errors In The PomPress Books Weekend.

Although, now that I think about it, maybe one weekend wouldn't be enough time to find them all.  [snow_wink]

this is too funny...

gothick i like your suggestion for a "not my bag" workshop...perhaps nancy barrett could contribute with a special discussion on carrying a purse around in your own house and how to handle one's emotions when dealing with that special stepfather-to-be. [snow_rolleyes]

and no seminar on comportment courtesy of dr.julia hoffman would be complete without detailed instructions on how to answer the telephone with both hands. [snow_tongue]

Yes! I would love to be a Mrs. Johnson impersonator. I would substitute Miracle Whip for mayonnaise. I am evil that way.
I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.
