NPR's All Things Considered will be running a feature today on the future of Buffy Studies after the show ends. Check [link] for links to feeds and/or your local station.

Availibilty over the 'net addendum to what AmyCh posted.

From the NPR page:

Tuesday, May 13, 2003
Scholars often consider life's biggest questions -- morality and mortality, for example. And so does Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The TV show has developed a cult following of sorts among the academic crowd. But only two episodes of the show remain before Buffy leaves the air for good. We'll discuss what this means for the future of what some have termed Buffy studies.

The audio for this program will be available online after 9PM ET, 6PM PT

Dan note: heh. Just after Buffy Airs in the ET/CT zone.

I thought this was worth a reminder:

Biography: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Writer Joss Whedon's story of a high-school cheerleader who battles the undead suffers a lackluster debut as a movie, but resurfaces as a hit TV series. Includes interviews with Whedon and star Sarah Michelle Gellar, who came to the show as a 17-year-old soap-opera actress. TV G

Posted here for people who may be planning on attending the F2F but who don't read the thread:

Please review the lists below. These indicate whether or not we have planned for your presence.

If you or a friend are not on the list, please contact me immediately.

These people are confirmed and have paid for Prom tickets for Saturday night:
CaBil, Ms. Havisham, Madrigal, Emily, Erin, elphaba, ita, Dana, Susan W., Laura Holt +1, DX, Jon B, Erikaj, Jen, DavidS, JZ + 2, JessPMoon, Fay NoiseDesign, Aimee, MM, Steph, Allyson, Aurelia, Nicole, Deb Grabien, Perkins, PMM +1, Tom Scola, Jilli +1, Java Cat,meara, Betsy, Shawn, Trudy, Theodosia

These people have said they will be at the F2F, but have not yet purchased a Prom ticket:
Sean, Karl + 2, Beth + 1.

These are the people who may be attending, but I cannot tell based on the posts from today so I'd like to hear from them asap:
shrift, Nutty, Consuela.

Is anyone planning on attending and not on this list? I hate to be a bitch about this, but if I don't know you are coming, then it's highly conceivable we're going to fuck up on things like food and space, for during the prom and rooms. While it's really cool and exciting that our numbers have swelled so much, we originally planned for 35-45. And our numbers now are closer to 55 which is freaking Allyson (and vicariously me) out a bit.

So please, READ THE LIST. If you are planning on coming and are not on a list above, please e-mail me at kgullo@earthlink.net immediately.

here's the deal, if you are planning on being there, you must tell me by COB on Friday. You can waffle on payment as long as 5/20. But if you do not email me with "I am planning on being there," then I will assume you will not be attending.

On the WE Network on May 28th at 9 pm Central:

Night Bites: Women and Their Vampires 60 min. Women discuss the allure of the vampire myth and its portrayal in popular culture. Included: interviews with Anne Rice, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” executive producer Marti Noxon, film critic Elvis Mitchell.

Friday May 16, TechTV cable network's show "The Screen Savers" will have a segment on Buffy sites on the web, in honor of the ending of BtVS.

x-posted from F2F:

Okay F2Fers, the Dodger game on Sunday, June 1, is a 1:10 start. Who all is going? I will collect the names and start working on getting tickets. Aimee, if you could give me a hand with this I'd appreciate it.

The people I've seen definitely say they were going are:

Me Susan W. Laura and Brendon

If you plan to go, please e-mail me at my profile addy. Thanks.

For those who missed it in PF, my eulogy for BtVS in OC Weekly:

oops wrong thread

Betsy HP "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" May 16, 2003 2:16:30 pm EDT

The Lightbulb thread is open to discuss a proposal made by Betsy HP (in March) to grandfather all old decisions under the moratorium. (e.g. We decided not to have a war thread, before we started voting. If Betsy's proposal goes to vote and passes, it would mean in the case of the war thread, that since that decision was made in the regular old-fashioned way before we voted, we shouldn't reopen it before the moratorium passes, just to vote on it.)

Much time has passed, and some things have changed since Betsy first made her proposal. Her first two posts in Lightbulb (the first of which is linked at the top of this post) explain the proposal and then discuss the pros and cons. Nutty is questioning if it is moot. I am questioning whether old decisions should be grandfathered under the 6 month moratorium that did pass.
