Last year there was a Buffista Secret Santa holiday gift exchange, ably initiated and organized by Holli.
Is anyone interested in repeating the tradition? If so, I'm willing to take on the task of matching Buffistas up.
Email your Buffista handle and a snail-mail address to me at canlibrarian@yahoo.com on or before October 27. I will undertake to get everyone matched up by Oct. 31, in order to allow lots of time for present buying/making and mailing.
CaBil has added thongs and lunchboxes and other .org free merchandise to the store. The link will also show Pink Gingham Junta Swag.
Playing with the digital camera, so here are some pictures.
My best friends, Mash and Angie.
Me and Angie's new fish, Weebl and Bob.
My side of the dorm room:
And yes, that was Wes on my wall.
Dropped baskets off at Mutant Enemy. Ran in, ran out. Saw Doug Petrie on phone. Did not rudely interrupt. Hoping assistant did not promptly throw baskets in trash can.
Message I received on another board. Perhaps some of our LA contingent would be interested:

If you haven't signed up for The Watcher's Retreat, now is the time to do so! We've got an amazing line-up of guests and activities you haven't seen at any other fan event.
Guests include actors James Marsters, Amber Benson, Mark Lutz, Andy Hallett, Armin Shimmerman, James C. Leery, Max Perlich, Robia Lamorte, Ken Lerner, Sharon Ferguson, David Wells, Channon Roe; novelists Jeff Mariotte, Maryelizabeth Hart, Keith DeCandido; musical guests Ghost of the Robot, Jessica Jacobs, Velvet Chain, and Grant Langston and the Supermodels; and make-up artist Robert Hall. Plus more surprises!
We have tons of exciting events planned.
Friday night is out Welcoming Reception. Meet the fans, meet some of the VIPs, and listen to live music! That's right, James Marsters band, Ghost of the Robot, will be kicking off this event, followed by a performance by the talented Jessica Jacobs.
Saturday there are tons of Q&A panels, signing sessions and improv games. Dinner on Saturday is a special event. Win a chance to sit near Amber Benson or James Marsters at dinner! And Saturday will come to a close with more live entertainment! Velvet Chain opens with Grant Langston to follow.
Sunday is more fun-filled Q&A panels, signing sessions and improv games.
We're so excited about this event, and are thrilled to bring these exciting activities. We think we've put together a rare event that will bring fans an experience they haven't recieved at any other convention or fan event. We've had so much positive feedback from not only you, the fans, but the cast and crew of the show as well.
Unfortunately, while we have all this positive feedback, the reponse via sign-ups hasn't been as successful. So far, we've only recieved a fraction of the sign-ups we need to hold an event this size, and because of this, our financial support is thinking of pulling out. This is something we definetly do not want to happen, and we are doing everything in our power to prevent it.
Here's where you can help. If you're interested in coming, sign-up! If you've been waiting till the last minute, we encourage you to sign-up now. We know it's a little price-y, but I assure you, it will be worth your while!
Help us spread the word! The more people who find out about this, the more who will sign up, the more likely this event will happen! Pass this e-mail on to anyone you think might be interested, or even those who aren't but might know someone who is.
Unfortunately, if we do not recieve enough sign-ups by Sunday, October 20, the event will have to be cancelled or rescheduled. So get the word out and sign-up before it's too late!
We hope everyone is excited as we are. Hope to see your sign-up soon!

Would have been helpful if they'd sent this out earlier, but it does sound like fun.

Pictures from the Berea F2F. Point and click, baby.
A couple of them need explanation; there are fisting monkeys, bourbon balls (heh, it says balls!), and Greeks with mullets (from my Latin book).
And this is us, after we climbed Shin's Erection, which is this abolutely pointless tower that our president insisted be built. We went to the head of the erection.
Everything else is pretty much self-explanatory: pleather, porn, and cleavage. Hell yeah.
Recaps will be forthcoming; check the livejournals.
STOMP! Wrong thread.
Just spoke to Joss' assistant. He hadn't spoken to Petrie, but was there when Joss and Kai got the basket. Kai LOVED the hoodie, Sophia, thought the colors were beautiful. Also said that the book selection was amazing, that Buffistas has great taste.
