The Firefly: Immediate Assistance store is going out of business. We will be closing the store on January 31st, 2003 at midnight. If you'd like to buy any items, this is your last chance.
All proceeds from the store will benefit the Children's Miracle Network [ [link] ]. To date, the store has generated over $400.00 in profits that will all go to the charity.
So get it while you can: [link]
Thanks again to everyone for their continued support.
Amber B posted a link in Buffy to an article in the NYT on James Marsters:
Very nice article about JM in tomorrow's NY Times. Registration required, but free. And it gives his real age!
The article makes references to a couple of S7 events, but only those already shown.
Non-Spoily (whitefonted an iffy part) excerpt:
" Spike was originally intended as disposable slayer bait, but his deliciously snarky, seductive villainy clicked with the show's creator, Joss Whedon, as well as with viewers; Mr. Marsters is now in his fourth season as a regular. And no character better embodies the ambitious, unpredictable nature of "Buffy" — which veers from drama to comedy to horror, usually in the same episode — than Spike. He has been a bad boy, a lover, a hero in black leather and goofy comic relief. He has a romantic's vulnerability (before becoming a vamp, he was an earnest, awful Victorian-era poet) and a rock star's swagger (authoritatively displayed in the show's celebrated 2001 musical episode). Spike is dead, but he hasn't disengaged from life. And in Mr. Marsters's agile, richly textured performance, you sensed Spike's soulfulness long before he had a soul."
Woof: Buffy ep 711.
L.A.istas:
The UPN Television Critic Association thing is being held tonight, at Hollywood & Highland, I think starting at around 7:30-8 p.m. Nick Brendon's assistant says if people are going to be outside there, he's usually good about hanging around and signing autographs and taking pictures. Not sure what it'll be like there, but she wanted me to let people know.
And if you go, and meet him, go to NickBrendon.com and give us details.
I'm not sure where this should go, so move it if necessary:
I have a box of Buffy tapes (S1-S4) that I'm willing to part with. It has 13 taped-from broadcast tapes containing almost every episode from Welcome to the Hellmouth through A New Man, plus the full S2 commercial boxed set and 2/3 of the S1 boxed set (I gave away the one with The Puppet Show last year, but those episodes are on the other tapes).
Here is the "buyer beware" part, since I got them on eBay and felt ripped off -- the picture quality is fine, but they do include commercials. Also, the labeling on many of the tapes is, to be kind, minimalist. I do need to at least cover the cost of shipping, so if anyone wants them and will PayPal me $20, send me an email at elisabeth78@juno.com and I'll send them out ASAP. Thankee.
Who loves ya, ladies? Book Soup, Viggo, and me.
