(And we presented the second ever date of C3--so I feel we know a little bit about the community!!!!) Dar has nothing and everything to do with Richard--just as Richard has nothing and everything to do with Dar. Don't make this stuff harder than it is. And Rosalie is Sorrels--listen--listen--listen!

Vance, on the other hand, is a total clown and he has his charms as well. But frankly, Vance's antics sometimes get annoying; Cheryl delivers all her gems in a straight, deadpan fashion. Dar tells her stories with a sort of spastic effervesence, complete with her own self-effacing laughter, facial contortions and kooky body movements. So Dar. I'll never forget the time she came out on stage following Richard's set and mistakenly walked up to Richard's mikestand instead of the one set up for her. Realizing what she had done, she quickly dodged to her own mike and in explaining her actions, told the audience: "O.K. That was my imitation of Richard Shindell." I thought it was a scream, and so few in the audience got it. Well, no one reading this will probably get it either. I guess you had to be there.
