Holiday Party-December 12, 2009 5:30PM

Our Holiday Party and gift exchange is at Sizzler located at 2025 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, CA 90403 on Saturday, December 12, 2008 at 5:30PM. Cost: whatever you order and a unisex gift up to $10-$15. You do not have to participate in the gift exchange. We will have desert and the gift exchange party game at Julie’s place located at 2222 Avenue of the Stars #404, Los Angeles, CA 90067 after dinner at around 8PM. We know everyone is on a tight budget. However, we’d love to see you at some point in the evening.

And now a word about the gift giving exchange:

Our gift exchange is a stealing game which Quentin the Ghost invented. He didn’t do it to be mean. He just likes to play a little ghostly prank by hiding your true gift.

1) Please no white elephant or REGIFTS.

2) Your gift should be UNISEX. This means anyone would like it. Candles, men’s fragrance and these type of gifts would not be enjoyed by everyone. A great UNISEX gift is a clock, a gift card or DS-Horror related item such as a DVD or CD.

3) Gift cards, Horror books, DVDs and other items are very popular and welcome gifts.

4) Please wrap your gift even if it is a gift card. It makes the game fun and interesting.

5) Please feel free to not participate.

Please let me know if you are coming to the Sizzler or Julie’s place afterwards.

I’m so looking forward to this party!

Update to our Club

Hello Dark Shadows Fans:

We are the Southern California Dark Shadows Fan Club. We call ourselves Shadows in the Sun. Our club goes all the way back to the 1980's when some folks got together after a Jonathan Frid event.

We recently lost our MSN group and frankly I don't like Multiply, it's successor. It's like Facebook so I decided we will be on Blogger.com which includes pictures, calendar, e-mail, blog and well everything that Google has to offer. Plus, we will have a Facebook group and a My Space group. Why be on an inferior imitator? We will keep it for historical purposes. Pictures are on there from 2002. Time flies when you are having fun.

I'd like to reach out to all Dark Shadows Fans new and old in the Southern California area. I'm looking forward to planning an event soon. It's been truly difficult for me this year (2009). I keep getting sick with drug resistant kidney infections. I seem to be quite busy for work as well. No rest for me. I keep getting new work projects during a recession!

I've been watching the early Dark Shadows. Even without Barnabas, I find it quite suspenseful and creepy. That David is quite a devil all by himself. I think our first event should be a video day. I hope everyone in web land will join us.

luv, victoriawinters
