This sounds like a real hoot!  I did not realize that Jamison Selby was such a fan of DS.  It sounds as if there were a lot of little in-jokes of the sort only a diehard fan would appreciate.

Talking of dying hard, I nauseate at the thought of Ned Stuart getting his paws on Carolyn!  In the immortal words of Lucy van Pelt, BLEAH!

I've been slowly unpacking and trying to organize my new home (something of a nightmare in slo-mo), and have been watching some DS episodes from October 1966 that I taped about 2 years ago on Sci Fi and never had the chance to watch.  It's been a real treat.  I loved Liz's showdown with Burke when he came waltzing in announcing he was going to buy Collinwood.  And Mrs. Johnson's introduction at the Collinsport Inn was a scream!  I'm still guffawing over Clarice's delivery of Mrs J's line about not being able to rest "as long as evil walks the streets of this town."  I think that was a Francis Swann script--great writer.

What a hoot!  I hope someone with a laptop shows this to RD this weekend.

The caption should read something like, "Golly, Vicki, when I told Angelique she was making a mistake treating me like some hick bozo who didn't know squat about the law, I never thought it would lead to THIS!"

Hi Patti, just a line to let you know that besides the roles he plays in the 1840 storyline, Thayer David also appears in a few key episodes as the redoubtable T. Eliot Stokes.

Heck, even Cassandra gets mentioned again.

Well, I for one will be happy to help dear Quentin out with his burgeoning twig... er, branch, er... STAFF!!!

That reminds me of this weird dream I had the other night that I was watching DS, and Selby was on screen, and the camera panned down to his crotch, and well... respect for the children who may be reading these boards forbids me to go any further, but, let's just say, it was a feast for the eyes.

that devil Gothick "the DEVIL made me do it!!!"

Darling MB, these are marvelous!  I don't recall having seen the one with cub scouts and kiddies before.  Those kids must have thought they had died and gone to Heaven!

Joe, I was in NYC a few years ago when a Generation Gap episode was aired.  David Henesy and his Mom were both contestants.  I was disappointed that the Barnabas episode was not chosen, but as usual, time at the Festivals is limited, and seeing David Henesy in a non DS context is a much more unusual experience than seeing something involving a Jonathan Frid publicity appearance.

G.

Well, this is starting to sound excellent!

maybe we could do the Halloween parade in Greenwich Village!

Sat. before H'ween is likely to be a good one for me.  I'm in  Canada the weekend of Columbus Day, and am helping to run workshops the following weekend.

I'm feeling very excited at the thought of being once again in the company of the legendary Marginalia du Pres!  Not to mention the handsome and mysterious Claude North ... and the Legend That Is Connie!

Jennifer, would be great to have you come too!  maybe we could do the bus from Chinatown together.  Having a companion would make the time on the road pass more pleasantly.

Hi Love at First Bite,

at this point, I'm feeling more negative than positive about going to the Festival.  I just had another harassing weekend of dealing with stuff connected with my move, and I'm just not sure I have the stamina for a day trip into NYC next Sat.

I am asking folks who live in the area whether we might be able to meet up in NYC later in the Fall, if I can't make it to Brooklyn for the big whoopsie.

Is your Mom back online now?

cheers, G.
