That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am still on season one, and I am really liking it. The stuff I read seems to indicate that people don't like Davis, but I find him hysterical. I might find him annoying if I knew him.

Do musicians really play so many gigs (well) with no rehearsal? Or is it just because they all know each other so well?

Always Anti-fascist!

I think they relate to him too much and think that Blown Deadline must be taking the piss or something. I think it's a small scene and they might have standards that everyone knows.

I think that the idea is that they're really good musicians playing in familiar genres.

Haven't seen last night's ep yet, but I'm getting there as soon as I finish my Avatar write-up.

Jazz musicians are extremely accustomed to jamming-- you get the chord changes going and then just improvise. It's beautiful.

Because books.

I love it in jazz, but my favorite will always remain the Dead. No one did it like them, and live it made me speechless.

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

Is Jason a fairy too?

Art Crawl!!!

Based on the books:

he has as much fairy blood as his sister but for whatever reason she has more fairy characteristics. (But the suggestion is that his ability to attract people is a manifestation of his fairy inheritance.)

Or so I understand it. Who knows what the story will be in the tv series.

It's a manifestation of his face, dammit! And those pecs.
