"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

Anybody who wants to take me this next time around may feel free to also pay my room and board for the Fest.

 In exchange, I will provide you with my company and pie.

This is a FORMICA table... GREEN is it's color!

Company and pie. :D That's awesome.

FYI Folks....we've confirmed Carel Struycken as our first official celebrity guest for the 2009 Festival. :D We have two others we're waiting to hear back from before more announcements happen. Yay! This will be Carel's second festival attendance. He first attended as a guest back in 1997. He is really excited to be joining us again.

How does one get around to the different Fest sites if under the influence?

FYI, the new dinner locale is right around the corner from the Roadhouse (and Hap's,) but about 20 minutes from the Edgewick. The police in the area have little else to do at night on North Bend Way but bust drunken drivers, and there are warning signs all up and down the road.

The Great Northern/Salish is 5 miles away, on a narrow winding pass-- very unsafe in the dark, lots of memorials from drunken driving deaths on the pass, but I doubt many of you are staying there.

Since there are no cab companies in the area, I highly recommend finding a designated driver. Don't drink and drive, kiddies.

We didn't have a choice. We called, they said "Suckit". Well, at least, it sounded like "Suckit" but it might have also been "We have no insurance on it for rentals at this time, plus we're hoping to do a bit of remodeling, so we will not be accepting rental requests for it this year."

Trust me. I didn't like changing venues any more than you fans liked us changing venues. That being said, the new venue we'll be using this year is actually pretty decent. Plus it might be nice to try something different. We've been at the barn since 2000. Something fresh never hurt anyone. Much.
