Huh. I just realized I have another reason to be in SoCal at the end of April.
Hmm.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Um, that was me, way way back in the day. I couldn't take the mile long shout outs, and all the !!!!!!!11!!!!1!.
Firefly parties sound all good, though.

And I'm likely working on the Firefly party for the LA premiere at the end of April, depending on Joss' availability.
Damn. Pity about my due date...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But that one's a snap, more like pre-party.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If the DJ is as bad as at WHAR, I may have a contract killing.
And it still amazes me that you'd offer.
Damn. Pity about my due date...
AWWW! You would have come?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
That's too bad. I have a lot of wisdom on the matter.
agreed. in fact, before they got all ass-y i was going to email you and tell you about them. they are such damn fools that they didn't realize that they're board admin was a PBPc member and were slamming them left and right. i think Karri handled herself well.
followed by a party for the fans at the Renaissance like our preparty
the Renaissance!! now i really want to go. i really love that hotel. i kinda missed it last year. the Century Plaza was too swanky for the likes of me.

ah, see. those are good reasons why you didn't make it. these people couldn't hack it because they're incapable of carrying on an intelligent conversation.

Is it awfully snobbish of me to think (and say) that Lost's more widespread appeal is going to torpedo any fannish efforts at putting together a workable PBP, whereas smaller, more elite groups of genre fans like the early Bronze, the Farscape fans, etc. have enough cohesion and SF con experience to actually pull such off without it degenerating into a teenybopper starfucker mess?

The status is NOT quo.
I was the one making the snide comments about handing out starfucker identifier tags. I feel I am not in a position to judge anyone's snobbishness.

Matt, I think with a first PBP-like event, it's not so bad. They can't guarantee that actors and writers will be there, they can only advertise it as a fan party, so you only get the people who are interested in meeting each other.
I don't know if they can accomplish it. They seem to not so much understand the scope, so far.
