Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If anyone has tumblr template experience, even up to just choosing good free ones, please meet me in BBABB++. I chose simple for buffistas.info, and it's making me fall asleep. I'd love it to look, you know, either like here or like Buffy-something.

Thanks to Amy's help, the first iteration of making b.info look a bit homier and less homely is complete. I'll look at putting our B in over the weekend. Well, a weekend.

(If you'd like to join, I definitely have a group for Macbeth and I may also be attempting Othello. Will certainly have a group for Coriolanus in January 2014.)

Our wings are not tired.

As you likely know, we made the Ginger fund goal of $6k! And even a little over. The star of our show, Ginger herself, has written an update and you can see it here:

Now tagless for your comfort.

Any Buffistas in the entertainment industry have any connection to Chicago Fire? A friend of mine is looking to get a visit for her young daughters when they visit Chicago. Email me if you can help.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Chicago area folks, I can get comps for the Goodman Theatre production of Smokefall [link] for Oct 5 @ 8pm, Oct 6 @ 2pm and 7:30pm, and Oct 9 @ 7:30pm. If anyone would like tickets let me know through my profile addy. It's a pretty cool show.

My organization in the NC Triangle area has a job opening for someone with a combo of moderate web development and knowledge management experience. Someone with a MIS (master of information science) or a MLS (master of library science) with some html-wrangling chops would be great.
