The Home section of today's LA Times takes readers on a tour of 3 identical lofts in the Broadway Hollywood condominiums, including DS alum Ivana Milicevic's, whose feminine touches include a pink and red bedroom, cabinets covered in nagahyde, and a corseted concrete pole.

********************************************
Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,

ShadowGram (SG), The Official Newsletter & News Source for Dark Shadows (DS), announces the following breaking news.

**** DAVID SELBY – UPCOMING APPEARANCES

--- David (Quentin) is the invited keynote speaker at the 275th Anniversary Banquet at the historic St. Peter's Episcopalian Church in Salem, MA, on Sept. 18, beginning with cocktails from 6:00-6:30.

St. Peter's Episcopal Church, 24 St. Peter St., Salem, MA 01970. 978-745-2291.

A church representative says: "The theme for this evening is that of our becoming more and more an inclusive church; stated simply in our mission statement: We are `A House of Prayer for ALL People'. We are set in a culture that is also struggling to become more inclusive and embracing of human diversity, at least in some places. In particular, we have struggled for equality for all people without regard to race, ethnic background, gender or orientation. It is our understanding that we are becoming a place where the embrace of God's love is totally inclusive. We believe that culturally, the embrace of diversity is to the betterment and well being of our society." David's " wonderful new book on Abraham Lincoln of course underscores this notion" and he is "a vigorous campaigner for human rights."

St. Peter's "congregation was founded in 1733 by Phillip English, who had been convicted of witchcraft in 1692. He and his wife were sentenced to hang but they escaped the gallows," then later returned to Salem and, with "other prominent families, built the church."

Church publicity: Special guest David is an "actor/author/activist" with roles in DS, "Falcon Crest," "Tell Me You Love Me," and the 9-22 episode of TNT's new drama "Raising the Bar." ((See SG Update #188))

The celebration banquet "will be held at the Hawthorne Hotel. Tickets are $45 and can be obtained from the Church office by calling 978-745-2291 or emailing stpeters2@verizon.net Reservations deadline is Sept. 14.

For the church announcement: http://www.stpeterssalem.org/content/announce.asp?ID=556 and a detailed history of the church is at http://www.stpeterssalem.org/content/history.asp

--- David participates in 2 readings/signings for his latest book and first novel, "Lincoln's Better Angel," referred to above. He will read from, discuss, and sign copies of the book. Contact each store directly for more information.

Sat., Sept 20 – 2:00-4:00: Barnes & Noble Booksellers, 240 Route 22 West, Springfield, NJ 07081. 973-376-8544.

Chris mentioned the play at the Burbank Fest and now tells SG: "It's a dark comedy that takes aim at the New Age and the ridiculous lengths we will go to avoid taking any responsibility for our failures and foibles....

*** LYNDHURST ESTATE – PUBLIC SUPPORT SOUGHT TO COUNTER FIRE DAMAGE

The Maintenance Building at Lyndhurst Estate ("Collinwood" in both HODS & NODS) was damaged 7-13 by a fire caused by faulty electrical wiring. Staff and local fire departments quickly responded and there were no injuries.

The main mansion, built in 1838 with its distinctive classic American Gothic Revival architectural exterior, was not affected. Lyndhurst: There was "extensive damage" to "the nerve center of our operations" that "takes care of this historic site" and houses equipment, archives, in-progress restoration and repairs projects, and other specific items, materials, and references.

Both DS movies filmed on location at Lyndhurst, filming many scenes on the grounds and in a number of the elegant interior rooms with original and period furniture and furnishings. DS Festival attendees have toured the estate as part of the Fest, most recently a year ago at the 2007 Fest – Jonathan Frid's 40th Anniversary weekend, held in nearby Tarrytown.

Lyndhurst is "a National Historic Trust Site." Grants, donations, horticultural and social events, speakers, workshops, gift shop sales, tour fees, and other activities help maintain and restore the legacy of this 19th-century estate. Each SG print issue features recent and vintage photos, historical details, current public events/programs, and more.

SG hopes DS fans will help this very special location recover from the fire damage and continue its invaluable work. Your support will be appreciated by all who visit the estate. Thank you.

You may send your tax-deductible "special contributions for the restoration of the Maintenance Building" directly to: Lyndhurst, 635 S. Broadway, Tarrytown, NY 10591. 914-631-4481. www.lyndhurst.org

**** SG continues to invite all fans who attended the Fest to share their photos and reports for the upcoming print issues. My thanks to those who already have sent their pictures, because each captures a unique moment, expression, and mood. In this way, all SG readers everywhere – including many of the DS personnel, who directly receive complimentary copies of every SG issue – can be part of the Fest experience. You will be named as a Contributor in the issue(s). A complimentary Contributor's Copy SG print issue is given in appreciation for major contributions.

Please send all photos/images via email in jpeg format to ShadowGram@aol.com

Or you can send hard-copy by postal-mail to Marcy Robin / ShadowGram, P.O. Box 1766, Temple City, CA 91780-7766.
