Having a party? Organizing a local F2F? Know something that we all really need to know? Announce it! Want to discuss anything posted here? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
Speaking of getting off our asses:
We're this close to settling on a date for the F2F. If you haven't voted yet, and you have strong feelings one way or another, what are you waiting for? We're closing the poll at midnight tonight (eastern). Think of it as practice for tomorrow.
Informal LA F2F Registration Form
We will have a real date tomorrow so it's time to get some registration info accumulated. The form is intended to gather information for number and types of rooms needed, contact info and matching roommates. That kind of thing.
Please put stuff in the comments field about suggested links and so forth since this is a work-in-progress. As I mentioned in the F2F thread feel free to mock my form or offer suggestions because it was chopped together quickly.
Filling the form is not a commitment to attend, but a start at getting numbers for planners to use to scope out hotels and such. Yay!
The votes are in and the 2nd Annual Buffista F2F will be held in LA on the weekend of May 30 - June 1!
Evidently, I'm going to be on The New England Cable News at 5:30 p.m.tonight throughout Mass., Conn. and New Hampshire for a story on the Worcester InCity Times. I'm pretty sure I don't even sound crazy!
In Worcester, it'll be rebroadcast at 6:30 and throughout the night on (I think) Channel 3.
I just posted a detailed proposal for a new project in Building: John H "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Nov 6, 2002 6:44:09 pm EST
I need the help of a kindly Canadian Buffista to purchase and mail some tea (which USED to be sold in the US, but oh no, not anymore). If you are a kindly Canadian Buffista and don't mind going to the grocery store & mailing off a package (I'll pay for the tea/shipping, of course), please oh please send me a message via the profile addy.
(edit - thanks folks! Tea is on the way to meeeee!)
The Slacker Secret Buffistas Holiday Exchange deadline is in 30 minutes. Get your name, mailing info and any special gift requiremnets (no sugar, vegan) in NOW. I will email out matches on Friday.
My email is: (deleted)
Anyone want a copy of the OMWF soundtrack? DH picked up an extra one at work, and we'll send it to the first person to email me at creepyturtle@att.net.
[edit: Amych wins!]
I'm working on a banner advertising project for Save Farscape, and I'm trying to scare up URLs of places that sell banner advertising cheaply, and have high traffic, and aren't directly related to Farscape -- sites that are oriented toward people like us, the fannish, the geeky, the proud. (Places like Gothic.net, BuffyGuide.com, TWoP, Blogger, etc.)
Bonus points if you can come up with sites that will give us discounted or free advertising. t g
If you have any ideas, please e-mail me.

And thanks for the fun natter last night. It turns out that "my" bridge was shut down for 2.5 hours because of the wind/rain, and because I was here nattering instead, I missed it all. My car was about 20 cars behind the 'pace truck' first crossing the bridge after it was open. Yay.
