I'm back - left forty minutes early. The show was a bit of a letdown, attendance-wise, although everyone seemed to do okay, including me (this is the best show I had, money-wise, since the first). But, they had Penny and I at the end of a row on the side (the room is L-shaped and we were in the L) - normally that's not such a bad place and has been very crowded before, but for some reason people were not wandering over there after having perused the middle of the room. Hugh O'Brian, normally a huge draw, sat with an empty table for most of the day. My pal Penny asked Ray Courts if he'd move us to the middle tomorrow and he said he'd try. If he only has room for one of us to move, she can have it and I'll stay put, but hopefully we can still sit next to each other. Because of where we were seated I couldn't take many photographs, but I got a few and I'll post them shortly. I did say hello to Miss Diane McBain (sitting with no people at her table) and told her she looked beautiful. My pal David Naughton was there, too. Interesting group of people, but maybe because the Festival of Books and Passover are this weekend that could account for the lower than usual attendance. Normally there is a long line waiting to get in at ten - there were just a handful of people when I arrived. I actually did the bulk of my business in the first twenty minutes - I got many people, and sold photos (which I normally don't do well with), DVDs, and books. The first thing that sold was an original Partridge Family script to a fellow who has something to do with the official Partridge website - he was helping Suzanne Crough (Tracy). He said the interview he did with me over a year ago will finally be going up in the next couple of weeks. When it's up, I'll link to it.
