The radio station for which I volunteer is having their annual Fundraiser. Last year we raised $75,000. I personally raised almost $4,400 of that during my 2 hour Friday morning shift. This year, we'd like to match those numbers.
Please consider helping us out, especially if you've enjoyed my radio program over the airwaves or over the web. We have a secure on-line pledge form. There are nifty thank-you gifts, like t-shirts, if you pledge over a certain amount. More information is here: [link]
ATTN: New England Buffistas, especially those near Boston
You know, it just dawned on me that I don't remember seeing this mentioned here. Nick Brendon will be at the Bayside Expo Center this coming Sunday at the Hobby Star Convention. The convention runs from Friday night through Sunday, but Nick will only be appearing on Sunday.

Just to supplement Cindy's announcement a bit, Anthony Simcoe and Gigi Edgely will also be at the show, along with Michael Dorn and Nichelle Nichols.
If any other NYCistas want to join us & maybe meet up for dinner beforehand, DH and I will be seeing HPCoS tomorrow night at Kips Bay at 10:15.
The Leonid meteor shower is Mon-Tues. Nov. 18-19. Good viewing from about 11 PM to dawn. The shower may produce meteors upwards of 5,000/hour. If you can find someplace away from city lights, where you can keep warm & lie down/rest your head, it should be great. Last year's was amazing.
Some letters to the editor in SciFi Weekly made it in with mentions and links for the Save Farscape and Support Firefly campaigns.
Attention LAistas: a plan has been formed for this weekend's Consuela-and-Shrift-in-Beautiful-Downtown-Burbank event.
Friday night drinks and slounging with Suela and Shrift at the lovely Blue Room in Burbank, 8 pm. Most of you should know how to find the place this time. No guarantee of splits on the sidewalk.
Sunday brunch at Roscoe's in Pasadena, 10:30-ish. As in we'll probably pick up Consuela at 10:30 in Burbank and be at Roscoe's by 10:50 or so.
PS As MM and I found out the hard way, The Blue Room is cash only....
We received a thank you card from Joss & Kai, today, for the gift basket we sent.
I will of course, scan it in at work tomorrow, and post it to DavidFury.net at a supersecret page and give you all a link.
Text is as follows, in Joss' own hand:
DEAR BUFFISTAS -
I can't say enough about the thoughtfulness, generosity, decency, + good taste that went into those gifts and contributions. Having such classy fans takes the onus of being classy off us, and allows us to be vain and self-centered. Thanks! Our son will enjoy your generosity, as will other children, and that means everything
Thank you for all (underlined) your support + kindness. (Heart shape) Joss Whedon + Kai Cole.
I also got a thank you note for being ringleader girl. It was really just beautiful.
Hey! I got to do a short Q&A with Mutant Enemy president, Chris Buchanan yesterday.
Spoilery for those who have not seen Firefly.
