Also, dope slap instead of bitch slapping.
Don't forget the codpiece!
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I arrived at the Chicago screening an hour before the start. I would say that 80% of the folks were already there.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
beathen, if you're interested in sampling the Buffy comics, I have many of them, and lots of duplicates. I'd be glad to send you a couple. (Offer is open to anyone else interested, of course, not just beathen.)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Huh. I thought the Kaylee cover was pretty good, but Zoe was unrecognizable.
Those Buffy covers are horrifying.

The Zoe cover, I am not fond of. I actually can see Kaylee a bit in the eyes of hers. Book's looks very craggy or something.
The Buffy in Vegas cover made me laugh. And then laugh some more.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Theodosia- thank you so much for the offer, but I've actually had a good old Buffy friend from way back agree to come with me, and I'm going to just crash in the city that night.
I'm not off work until 4:30 that day, though. Which, in looking at train schedules, wouldn't work, because I'd get into town at about 9:10. That's cutting it too close for comfort. I'll try to get out an hour earlier or so and get the earlier train.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I got to the Chicago screening at about 8:30 and they'd already filled up the inital queue they'd set up and started a new one along the wall which was over half full. By 8:45 the line had started obstructing the box office. (They had us waiting out in the lobby rather than outside the theatre in question.)
ETA: The line itself was actually pretty animated with people talking and generally being excited, plus taking pictures of the cardboard standups the Canadians had brought and the handful of people in costume, so it really didn't feel like a wait.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Huh. I thought the Kaylee cover was pretty good, but Zoe was unrecognizable.
Me too, Consuela... it wasn't quite photorealistic, but I could very easily tell it was based on Jewel Staite. The Zoe cover, however, could just as easily have used a photo of Apollonia Kotero for reference. Or Kelly LeBrock.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Adrian Pasdar: bringing hot (and ambiguously gay) to a new level since Top Gun.
Bicyclops--I think I may have sat next to you, after all. I was wearing a black Austin Shindig t-shirt (Mal, Jayne, & Zoe) and attending with my "dates"/ride/peeps/married couple (complete with pregnant lady). Sitting about halfway up on the left hand side of the auditorum on the aisle? I also said "F..K" a lot, and squeed some.
If not, there was a guy there who also had a son he didn't get to sit with.
