I just came back from a merry evening at flea and Mr. flea's, where smonster, amych, Calli, Dana, Mr. Dana and I were entertained by Casper's excellent dance moves and Dillo's remarkable vocal stylings. We ordered in Indian, since it was newly discovered that the Indian place delivers.
...oh, hilarity ensued. The food was yummy, but the order wasn't complete, and it was late, and then Mr. flea called to have the rest of the order delivered, which was also very late. *But!* The company was excellent, and the chocolate raspberry cheesecake flea made was delectable.
It was such a pleasure to finally meet Dana--she was on my tape tree for bootlegging the puppy!--who I think is the only active poster who predates me. The whole evening was great fun. Thanks to flea and Mr. flea for hosting.

I think the Buffy episodes from S4 that were pulled instead of shown. "Earshot" or "Graduation Day."
Old school baby, before you could download them, you had to count on the kindness of Canadians.
That sounds like a wonderful evening, Beverly! So glad you all had a good time.

I was part of the tape tree for Earshot at the Bronze. GD2 got pulled on us before airtime (we were all World of WTF?) whereas Earshot had already been squirted on the satellite and I think the execs didn't clue that the show aired on Monday for us, not Tuesday. That really did feel like a victory for the community over Da Meng.
"Bootleg the puppy" is a Joss quote, when he found out the fans were cicumventing the network suits.
It was at the time of the Columbine shootings, and there was concern that because there was some superficial resemblance (Jonathan in the clock tower with a rifle, the students arming up against the mayor) the network might be taken as less than tactful in its airing choices, so they pulled the episodes.
The stories of which, of course, had nothing in common with Columbine at all.

Aah. That's what I figured it was a reference to, but I didn't get the "puppy" part.
