leenorman Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Joyce, that last part kinda bothers me, so what if she's paid to come to the festivals? I doubt anyone else is doing it for nothing; at the very least, they're likely having their expenses (i.e. travel, hotel, meals) covered and why shouldn't they? Maybe I'm missing something here but to most life-long fans (and being a big personal fan of The Lady herself, having met her first when I was a "kid" in my 20s!), having Wanda Clark's (continued) participation and involvement in these events should certainly be considered a draw, if not a coup! Yup.... always loved Wanda, always will! Have NO PROBLEM with guests being paid! Sorry you assumed I did/do.... This was an issue with arrdubya being gone; and what I was told about her non-appearance(s) feelings; the Center was hurting . . . BAD . . . after the max exodus of family, board members; no director; one hired; didn't last long; still $$ problems until Journey came on board and the 'family' began their 'faith' in same with the self-appointed several board(s) of Directors; we have some good ones now, I believe; but, the whole $$ thing until the Comedy Center came into planning stages and $$ returning. Let's get this straight; early years we had, for about 5 years, a million(!!!) $ mail order catalog purchase business [PER YEAR!!!!]; I did filing for same, and believe me, that kept money in the coffers (or somewhere close); heard some hard rumors about that, too; (and from the person, also a FORMER, who ran the department. The mail order department soon closed; employees laid off; etc. So much has been swept under the rug on the early years, at this point in time, it's sad to even remember; but, if he's working his way back in, there will be more 'difficulties', believe it! I'm still CONCERNED, VERY CONCERNED! Loving you, JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Robert Klein and Kevin James have been added to the lineup! http://www.post-journal.com/news/page-one/2017/05/kevin-james-robert-klein-added-to-2017-comedy-fest-lineup/ If Klein is coming, I wonder if Lucie will pop in.

Luvsbway Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I heard Robert interviewed a few years back and the question if he had met Lucy while doing TPOS came up. He called her Big Red as some did and if I recall it was outside the theatre. He said nice things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Palm Springs to Jamestown is quite a "pop"! Hopefully .... she doesn't fly United! (Wonder if she ever charters a plane for ocassions such as this?? Seems it'd be much easier since I know of no direct flights from here to there!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Post-Journal mentions a Desi Arnaz Birthday tribute event is part of the festivities, it wouldn't surprise me Lucie will be a surprise guest. Time will tell.

Brock Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 if anyone wants to get into any shenanigans. Need you even ask?! :HALKING: Will you be accompanied by Mr. Zimmerman accompanying you on the train the studio is sending for a big star like you?

Luvsbway Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 No, Mr. Zimmerman will be gathering with his fans in the train world to offer a select few a master class and a peak inside his world of being a railfan celebrity. The studio is sadly not doing well these days so they are asking I get my own transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeySanJoaquin Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 As I live vicariously (not to mention 3,000 miles away), here's hoping there's copious blogging, candid (photo) shots and even videos, Facebook "live" or otherwise! Hoping all going have safe & sane journeys and a WUNDAFUL time upon arrival and whilst in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
