Hey all.
As some of you may know, Maya and I are planning a big Angel party in Los Angeles on February 21st, 2004.
We do need some volunteers for the event for things like passing out name badges, working the auction tables, decorating, stocking the hospitality suite, and such and sundry.
If you're going to be in the LA area that weekend, and don't mind lending a hand for a couple of hours, please email me at Allyson at emahollywood dot com and let me know what you'd like to do.
I would like to proudly announce the arrival of the new Buffista Baby Gear shop at Cafepress.
And for all your Buffista-branded holiday shopping needs, the Cafepress Buffista mega-mart. Recently updated with exciting new products!
[edited to add a few missed shops to the link]
For all those attending the doings next Saturday in San Francisco, please check the Peopleforum F2F thread in Buffista Refuge (members folders). We're trying to coordinate the Saturday morning jaunt to Zazie, for pancakes.
A reminder for Eliza Dushku fans - Tru Calling debuts on Fox on Thursday at 8.
COME ONE COME ALL TO THE 2004 FACE TO FACE
In the F2F thread we are wrapping up the discussion on where next years gathering will be. The vote will be Friday.
At the moment we are pretty much between Baltimore/DC and Montreal. Please come and join the discussion!
In case you don't see it in Bitches, ChiKat, thank you for the Blankey! It's snugglesome and a gorgeous color and makes neat jingly noises and I must keep the covetous kitten away.
