Taylor Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hope we can go again next year! I'd like to try and make it every year, but it gets pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Charlie keeps asking when we are going again. If they get a good lineup I think we'll come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I thought they had a pretty good balance this year with "Lucy" events and "Comedy" stuff -- so it would be great next year if they can build on that and bring in Lucy-related people in the vein of Wanda and Gregg. As for comedy, it would be the best of both worlds if they scheduled a new/young comedian in next year's Madigan slot and a comedy headliner with a Lucy connection who are still touring, such as Rickles, Cosby, Conway, Betty White, Vicki Lawrence, etc. I'd mention Carol Burnett but I think we have all accepted that will never happen by this point. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. I like the choice in dates. I have a wedding to attend on August 2, so I was holding my breath, crossing my fingers and saying a prayer that the festival would be the next weekend. Now back to preping my walker and myself for the 5K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Any word yet on when we can expect some announcements on lineup? Last year, they announced the preliminary schedule on April 12 and gave us fair warning the announcement was coming on March 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Wednesday, April 9th they are announcing. Excellent! I look forward to seeing what they come up with. As per tradition, can we get our customary "Where's Carol Burnett?!" complaints out of the way now? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 You know who would make a really awesome guest, Carol Burnett. Wonder if they ever thought of that? Someone told me once she was friends with Lucy. OK there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Not a fan? I am a fan, but Whoopi said via video at the first of the newly re-vamped Festivals that she had "penciled" in the the next year's Festival into her schedule. The next year rolled around...and nothing. Organizers them said "penciled" did not mean confirmed, or some such nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
