Who are the lucky ones....who's going to the Fest and/or Newport?

[Birdie]

Just thought I would ask the guestion who are the lucky ones going to the fest this year in Brooklyn, NY?

Anyone going to R.I. on the bus trip on Monday? I can't go to the fest, but there is a slim chance than I might be able to be in Newport on that Monday.

I remember being at the fest in 2001 and never meeting another person from this forum.  The monday following the fest I happened to be in Newport with family and yet miss more of the forum who were also in Newport.  I was at the Breakers while they were working the grounds of Seaview, Collinwood.  Also we were going to stop by the Black Pearl but had to by pass it that time.  Another place our gang happen to visit.

Strange, isn't it.

I'll be in Brooklyn this year, and I certainly look forward to seeing friends from this board.  However I'll be flying home on Labor Day instead of going to Newport, so I'm afraid I'll miss you, Birdie.  :-

It is hard to connect with folks at the Festival unless you know who you're looking for, or designate a meeting place in advance.  Last year was the best luck I've ever had, what with the grand piano party in the lobby.  I hope that this year will also be a lucky one for finally putting faces to familiar names.

Hi Birdie,
A group of us will be in Newport prior to the Festival. The evening of Sunday 24th, and all day that Monday the 25th. The last time we were there(1999) we had a pizza party in Collinwood, and I look forward to doing it again this year. If you're in the neighborhood stop on by.

Bob Just to clarify, you mean the week before the fest?

[Birdie]

Bob,
           I think we might be on the Cape that weekend, if my husband ever gets his act together and make the necessary phone calls.  But if that falls though going to Newport is never hard for me.  I have family who live in the area.  Save a piece of pizza for me, or at least a toast at the Black Pearl.   Have a wonderful time.

I'll be there too!  I'm REALLY looking forward to getting my lobster tail at the black pearl!  Oh and seeing all my friends too!

I'm pondering coming in for the day on the Sat.  If I do, it will all be very last minute.  I'm moving this coming weekend, and am reaching my wits' end (they don't extend very far--trust me).

I probably won't actually register for the Festival, since I imagine they are doing the same idiocy with pre registration that they did last time.  If I go, I will just sit in the lobby and look for some old friends I only get to see on these occasions.

BTW. for those who've not seen it yet, I've just posted the tentative schedule for the weekend's events on my website.

Great Jennifer!
We'll be at the house all day, except when we head down to the Wharf for lunch and/or dinner at the Black Pearl. 

We'll also be in your neck of the wood the later part of the 26th and most of the 27th. I see our beloved Red Sox are home against Toronto those two days. If the weather is conducive,I plan to take in the game that Tuesday night. I'm prepared to pay scalpers prices for one look at Fenway Park.

Thanks to Midnite, I'm back online.  Where to start?

Midnite:  Thanks for all your help!  A big cyber-hug.

Bob:  You want Red Sox tickets?  I know a concierge -- I'll get you prices.  Least I can do for the mousepad and the Hartford pics you got developed.  I'm interested in Newport trip.  Easy bus ride from South Station.  Write or call me.

Gothick: How are you?  Where are you?

Nicky: Drop me an email.  Are you going through Buffy withdrawal?  Did you know Tabitha's new baby is to be named Endora?  And that her new neighbor is Nurse Kravitz!

I'm working on going to NYC but is dependent on finances -- been short a roommate at home for many months.  Finally got somebody for September 1.

Missed you all,
BROC

Broc...do I know you from a previous DS board?

I haven't posted in quite a while.  I first found most of these wonderful "cousins" at the scifi board.  I've only been to one fest -- in 1995 -- but I did attend the Frid show on Long Island and two Selby plays in Hartford.  I've mostly gone by brocman -- Nicky rechristened by BrocBaby after I hooked him up with Buffy -- which was not originally shown in Montana -- how awful!.  I've met my former neighbor Gothick -- and he invited Aimee over for a wonderful afternoon of DS fun.  I met a few people in Hartford and Long Island -- but mostly I've been the mysterious cousin from Boston.  I loved meeting David Selby in person, and was very glad to get his autograph, along with his castmemembers, on several copies of the script of Long Day's Journey -- one of which I gave to my parents on their 40th Anniversary.
