Okay. I didn't want to say anything until it was all official and Tim gave me the go ahead. [Because thanks but accidentally leaking the Firefly news last year almost gave me a nervous breakdown.] But the word is now out on Tim's plans for next season.

A friend passed along information about a group called the SIBL project (Songs Inspired by Literature) that is based in Northern California.

They have two benefit CDs for sale, all the profits going toward adult literacy programs. Some of the donating artists are Bruce Springsteen, Grace Slick, David Bowie, Tom Waits, and Aimee Mann.

It seemed like a Buffista-ly charity, and I don't remember seeing it mentioned here..

A good on-line petition to sign if you want to oppose the continuing invasion; people from all over the world are welcome; this is an international campaign:

Warning: part of the idea is to publicly come out against the war. So if you sign this, you are putting your name, city and country out there publicly, where anyone can read them. You also give you e-mail address privately - which is not shared. Obviously you should not sign unless you in a position where you can do that. Also the statement is very uncompromising. Again, obviously, you should read it and only sign it if you agree with it:

There are more than 36,000 signature currently. Initial signers include:

Ezequiel Adamovsky, Vittorio Agnoletto, Michael Albert, Tariq Ali, Patrick Bond, Leslie Cagan, Noam Chomsky, Bill Fletcher, Eduardo Galeano, Susan George, Marta Harnecker, Boris Kagarlitsky, George Monbiot, Suren Moodlar, Hector Mondragon, Tanya Reinhart, Carola Reintjes, Arundhati Roy, Lydia Sargent, Howard Zinn

If you want to go directly to the signup form it is at:

Thanks

Hi all,

I finally am named on IMDB, as I was a production assistant on two short films when I was in LA. At least one of them made it to the IMDB, but my name wasn't listed. Now it finally is.

I was a production assistant...meaning slightly above a gopher. And I drove down to Hollywood every time we needed more film. and basically helped out on all phases of production. Slept overnight to guard sets at least one night.

Not *the* Independence day, another one.

Ours was first.

Attention Laistas! In honor of the series finale of Buffy, I would like to invite you to my place to watch the show, and to eat, drink, and be merry. I'm assuming this will be on May 20th, and people are welcome anytime after about 6:30. If you can make it, please let me know at my profile address, and I will send you directions.

I finally am named on IMDB

I've been on there for a while. Worst. Movie. Ever.
