Just a very quick reminder that Cookbook submissions close at midnight board time tonight. Please take a quick moment and get those last few recipes sent to buffistascookbook at gmail dot com.

Thanks!

I am going to be seeing -t on Sunday to deliver our goodies to her. If you would like to still contribute, please either paypal me (the address is in my profile) or let me know how much I should add in.

Also, if anyone would like an accounting or final tally, please let me know and I will email it to you.

Seattle peeps, I need to send my package for -t to Perkins tomorrow, so let me know if you have anything you wanted to add to it.

Hey there. My cousin wrote her first novel and it's been published and I'm pimping it here. If you like Inuit's or wolves, read it!!

For all you Serenity fans out there, apologies if this has been posted, but I wasn't sure, and why not?

free press screenings in several cities

I assume this was posted in one of the threads, but it seems important enough for Press:

Universal Pictures has paid seven figures for Goner, a supernatural thriller spec script that Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) wrote and will direct, Variety reported.

Mary Parent and Scott Stuber will produce. The studio premiered Whedon's directorial debut, Serenity, on Sept. 22 at Universal City Walk, and the movie opens to the public on Sept. 30.

Whedon was cryptic in describing the project. "It's the story of a young woman's journey that involves a great deal of horror and some heroics," Whedon told the trade paper. "It's certainly darker than Serenity, and there are a lot of left turns along the way. It is something I had in mind for a while, and it just poured out of me when I finished my film."

Whedon is writing and will direct a Wonder Woman movie for Warner Brothers.

Short notice, but...

Seattle peeps, I have a pass for two people for a screening of Serenity at Oak Tree at 7pm tomorrow.

Sadly, I will be doing Other Things, and cannot use it.

Profile address good, if anyone wants it. Think it's visable. Let me know ASAP, first person who wants, gets.

ETA, I've found a taker.

Err... Just got off the phone with -t, and between her DH being in town and -t not feeling well, I didn't get to meet with her today. However, she and maybe her DH will be available next week, so I and others will see her then.

Again, if anyone wants a tally/accounting beyond we did good (which we did), please let me know.

Hi all. I hope that folks in the New England area can make this, because it's Lea's (Thessaly's) last show hosting the series.

PERFORMER BIOS:

Paul Curreri Raised in Richmond, Virginia, Paul now makes his home in Charlottesville. He grew up playing music but ended up enrolling at Rhode Island School of Design to pursue painting and film. While Curreri credits his experiences at art school with developing his ability to observe and record the visual world, soon his true passion soon began to rise to the surface. By the time Paul graduated from RISD, he'd composed over 200 songs on guitar and piano. Turning down a job at MTV, he set to work carving out a life as a musician.

His third album, The Spirit Of The Staircase was released in December 2004 on City Salvage Records.

More information about Paul Curreri can be found on his web site at www.paulcurreri.com.

Doc Brown's Traveling Poetry Show Following the success of Def Poetry Jam on HBO and Broadway, fourteen successful years of slams and shows in Boston, eight months of shows at Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway Theater, and a continuing upsurge in the life of poetry on stage, Doctor Brown's Traveling Poetry Show brings together an ensemble about as various as poets can be. Different poets perform each show, including occasional out-of-towners.

Directed by professor and poet Michael Brown, the troupe includes individual and collaborative poems by chemistry specialist Mala Radhakrishnan, madman Ryk McIntyre, reading advocate Valerie Lawson, the elusive Jeff Taylor, wry raconteur Simone Beaubien, musician and salesman Alex Charalambides, lyrical Laura Yan, teacher Douglas Bishop, and, as they say, more.

This is a fast-paced, 90-minute stage show with no dead air, no dead ideas, and no dead poets.
