NYistas-- A good friend of ours is getting lots of great reviews for his one-man show. He's funny and snarky and smart, so check him out!

NYTheatre.com PICK OF THE WEEK

PICK OF THE WEEK

BRIAN DYKSTRA: CORNERED & ALONE: Writer/performer Brian Dykstra (whose short play Mick Just Shrugs, about a student who burns a flag as part of a school project, will be published by NYTE next year) rants and jests persuasively in his one-man comedy performance. It's about the state of our country and the state of our world. It's a wakeup call that's especially timely in these weeks before the next presidential election. Democrats will like much of what they hear, but Republicans and Independents and especially Undecideds will get a lot out of Dykstra's outrageously funny and intelligent show.

SOOPER SEKRIT BUFFISTA GIFT EXCHANGE

Anyone interested in exchanging small presents with other Buffistas during the holiday season? Email me at my profile address with your Buffista name and a snail-mail location where people can send your loot. I will match up givers & giftees in a highly rigorous random fashion (i.e. drawing names out of a hat).

Please try to email me by November 5. I'll match names and send out notices by November 8, to allow for lots of present buying/making and mailing time.

Amazon is running some serious specials on Fox TV DVDs here. For just $14.99 you can get Angel Season One, Buffy Season One and 24 Season One, fer instance.

Bizarro World

New England and New York Buffistas:

There will be a farewell party for billytea at our house on Saturday, November 6th.

Please let me know via email as soon as possible if you plan to attend. I'm thinking this will be very casual--music and food (which hopefully people will bring), dvd viewing (billytea's choice), and basic good-natured frolicking.

Discussion welcome in F2F thread.

P.S. Long live the serial comma!

Some of you may remember Herself from the Bitches and Fic threads.

She's just sold her first novel.

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

Due to some questions in my inbox and 'round the net:

Yes, the Kerry Fundraiser with the conference call with Joss is legit.

The information about the event is here.

I confirmed with Joss' office the date and time, today.

The deal is, you sign up to host a party at John Kerry's site. Follow the instructions, read the stuff about collecting donations to his campaign, and blah blah blah you all know how to read a site-cakes.

The call will start at 2pm PST, 5pm Eastern on Sunday, October 24th.

And that's all I got. Confirmed, via me, Gurl with All the Info That Is Sometimes Fit to Post.

It doesn't seem that there's much buzz about this. I suggested that he post here to help get the troops together, but I dunno.

If so inclined, please post to your lists and LJs as you see fit.
