OH okay Nancy - twist the knife!  ;)   I see I have yet another great excuse to be in an "unable to attend the fest funk" this weekend.  :-

Seriously though - that's great news - I'm sure there are many who WILL be attending who will be glad to hear about this unexpected surprise addition to the lineup.  It sounds like it's going to be a great fest and I hope everyone has a wonderful time!

Oh dear, no no dear Castlebee - the video will be made available on JF's website after the festival is over so you will be able to see it.

This video will be so great! I'll have to make sure to see it on his web site, since I too am unable to go to the festival.  :'(

It was so nice of him to create it! Three cheers for Jonathan Frid,/Barnabas!  8) :)

I saw this news earlier today, and I'm thrilled that Jonathan is sharing such a treat with the fans!  Shows just how generous he is.

Just a reminder that those who wish to let him know how happy they are about the new video can do so on the guestbook feature on his website.

Best, G.

They showed it today. They will also show it tomorrow. It's a shame they felt they had to cut it down as much as they did, including chopping his farewell, but at least we had the fun surprise of his live phone call during the otherwise mundane cast reunion.

I went today, and it was an interesting spectacle. Got the bloopers DVD 3 months early (!), and picked up a couple books from KLS's table. She seemed really nice.

The recreated drawing room was fun (took some pics, not sure how they turned out yet).  The coolest dealer moment had to be when I asked this one photo seller where all the candids taken outside ABC's studio came from, only to find out he had taken them himself, 37 years ago. Nifty.
