A nippy morning here in Providence (though it's almost a nippy afternoon). 62F at the moment. We're thinking we have to do our tour of the autumn leaves this weekend or we're going to miss out on the peak altogether. Before I forget, congratulations to Peter for being awarded the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award. Booya ( Read more... )

Niiiiice. I don't see enough of Portland's more opulent side, though working for someone who's friends with rich people means I get some exposure to it. (I once ran an errand to one such rich person's house in the West Hills. I waited in the foyer. I told myself, TOUCH NOTHING. Anything I break may cost more than my annual salary.) I'm glad the fest sprang for that for you guys. And I appreciate you showing it off.

I'm also glad I tried this week's Glee (though I'll probably skip the Rocky Horror episode next week, as I have no experience with Rocky Horror yet and it'd be a lot of Out-Of-Context Theater for me, I think). I get weirdly over-thinking of Glee, because I'm aware of its issues and that the show's trying to address them, and sometimes it does that well and sometimes it doesn't. Tough balance, its sincerity and its over-the-top-ness plus its attempts to be fair to all of its eclectic characters, but sometimes the result is that I don't connect with the show. And I WANT TO.

Neat!

ONE of these days I'll experience it. Though it doesn't help that I hope never to set foot again in the theater that shows the film in Portland, as some of the people who run that theater have been jackasses to friends of mine. Plus the place's sound system sucks.

Maybe at a con instead, one of these days...

It is something everyone should experience at least once.

Thanks for the ongoing photo journal. Wish I could have gone, but you are all too familiar with diminishing funds.

My last house was a few blocks from the White House B&B so I passed by that place often over the years, but had never seen inside. Thanks for the glimpse! It's even more impressive than I would've guessed.

Am I mistaken that, in the novel, Renfield, before his stay in the sanatorium, had traveled to Castle Dracula? I may be thinking only of the back-story provided in Herzog's remake of Nosferatu, but I always thought it plausible that the Englishman in "Dracula's Guest" was Renfield.
