Buffistas

I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Next Monday, 20 January, at 8PM EST, the CBC Radio program Ideas will be presenting an hour-long radio doc about Buffy as a cultural icon. It should be interesting. It's generally a fairly serious show, so I'm wouldn't be surprised if it focuses on academic interest in the Buffyverse. CBC should be available online, and you can check for different feeds depending on your time zone. Unfortunately they do not archive all their programs.

Here's the blurb on their site:

BUFFYWORLD

She slays vampires. She tosses demons into kingdom come. California valley girl or feminist icon? IDEAS producer Mary O'Connell explores why Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a pop culture phenomenon.

Links to different internet feeds across can be found here.

For Somervillains, Arisia is this weekend at the Park Plaza Hotel in Back Bay, Boston. It sounds like it will have plenty of media-themed panel discussions, including "Angel and the Disfunctional Family", "Buffy After Buffy", and "LotR Midterm Report". I'll be going at least for part of it, if only to catch up with some friends I don't see otherwise....

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

My "New England Poetry" column has returned to About.com. First installment features a "Save Firefly" shout out!

For Chicago-area Buffistas:

Checking tvguide.com it says that Angel is due to be repeated on Saturday, Jan. 18th at 8 p.m. (on WGN).

I have NO IDEA why this should be - - but just in case you missed it, you've got another chance.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

There is a peace march and rally in San Francisco on Sunday, January 18. Starts at Justin Herman Plaza (in front of the Ferry Building at the east end of Market Street) and marches to the Civic Center for a 1 pm rally.

I urge Bay Area Buffistas to attend, if you are inclined to believe that going to war in Iraq is a bad idea.

There will be extra BART and MUNI trains and buses running.

If I only had a brain...

There is also a peace march Saturday, according to this link. How confusing.

I thought some Buffistas might enjoy this:

World Lysistrata Day

Humorous activism, yay! (What's that, HuYay?)
