The bus ride to and from the Vista movie theatre for the HODS movie event will be limited seating and tickets and should be alot of fun since going by car runs into trouble finding available parking by the theatre.
Maybe on the bus we can all sing Marcy Robin's DS fan filksongs like the old early DS gatherings

Also scheduled to appear at the fest are the minor DS actresses Lisa Richards and Kathleen Cody. Ms. Richards whom just recorded a DS audio CD with David Selby. Richards played the quiet pensive character Sabrina Stewart whom was in love with Chris Jennings and had the misfortune of seeing him turn into the Werewolf.
I remember Kathleen Cody was in one or two Disney movies as a teen and an episode of the Partridge Family; very very cute.
