'Safe'
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.
I doubt this will be of immediate concern to anyone, but Cafepress has decided that our logo "may require licensing by the creator of Buffy the Vampire prior to their use for the sale of merchandise," and has therefore suspended the sale of items with the Buffista logo on it.
I have contacted the Image Verification department, and will hopefully have this cleared up as soon as possible.
Buffistas in NC's Triangle area will have a chance opportunity to see Amber Benson's movie "Chance" at Trinoc*coN July 23-25. Info here.
(Just noticed yesterday myself, apologies if this has been posted.)
I am afraid I have to semi-cancel brunch on Saturday the 10th, because of work constraints. Instead of having one at my place, I am going to organize one out somewhere. For those who want to meet up with Raquel (and who in their right mind would not), check here for more details in a few days.
It's July, the time is fast approaching and it's been awhile since I posted on of these, so here goes:

The Image Verification people at Cafepress have stopped being big poopyheads, and have un-blocked the Buffista logo images, on the condition that they will remove them again if anyone from Warner Brothers complains about us. Anyone who wishes to order F2F merchandise may therefore do so, as long as they promise not to wear it on the WB lot.
More backlog: Angel episode 521 - "Power Play" is now up in HTML. Fury-tastic.

I was just made aware of a great site for sending books, etc. to soldiers in Iraq. It's booksforsoldiers.com. There are also some listings for Iraqi children's needs.
Angel episode 520 - "The Girl in Question" is now up in HTML. DeKnight and Ultimate Drew!

Lightbulbs is open to discuss the following proposal:
Proposal: To have a Book Club thread wherein a specific book (or books) would be discussed Buffista style on a specific time rotation (weekly, biweekly or monthly.) All the fine details, including method of book selection, number of books per rotation, length of rotation, and length of discussion period, would be hammered out exclusively in the proposed thread by the denizens thereof.
Purpose: The purpose of the thread is to accomodate an expressed desire by a number of Buffistas in Literary to have such a thread to allow focused and uninhibited discussion on a particular text as well as providing us with an opportunity and excuse to read and discuss books that may be outside our usual genre.
Discussion starts here: DXMachina "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" Jul 5, 2004 5:21:42 pm PDT
