If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

It's still a few days early, but Happy Halloween Everyone!

To follow up on the subject of Allyson's Press post at: Oct 24, 2002 11:18:45 pm...

The following is a copy and paste of a post taken from the Bronze Beta on the Firefly Appreciation Campaign.

(begin copy) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Kimberly Hirsh kiba@jossisahottie.com

DATE: October 25, 2002 HEADLINE: Firefly Fans Unite to Show Support

BODY: In response to the FOX Network’s request for three more episodes of Joss Whedon’s Firefly, fans of the show are contacting Fox to show their appreciation for the program. Firefly: Immediate Assistance is a campaign organized by Kimberly Hirsh, owner and manager of JossWhedon.net and JossisaHottie.com to rally Firefly fans around the world.

The campaign consists of three phases. The first involves sending postcards to Fox executives thanking them for giving Firefly a home. The second phase is a similar postcard campaign directed at the show’s advertisers thanking them for their support. The third is a fundraising endeavor directed at purchasing a full page ad in Variety and one in TV Guide to show support for Firefly.

Get your postcards in the mail, Buffistae.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

One last reminder of the Secret Santa project:

Are you interested in giving some worthy Buffista a small holiday gift, and getting one in return?

Email your Buffista handle and a snail-mail address to me at canlibrarian@yahoo.com by midnight PST tomorrow, October 27.

I will match people up by Oct. 31, in order to allow lots of time for present buying/making and mailing.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Okay, I was just made aware of this Buffy scholarly research survey.

We can delete this post if it turns out to be bogus, but it seems ok:

I hope everyone set back their clocks last night. But don't forget about resetting your VCR's too!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Since we have so many writers here:

NaNoWriMo 2002 - National Novel Writing Month 2002.

The goal - write a 50,000 word novel in one month - the month of November. [link]

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This'll be xposted in Press. Firefly is sort of in a precarious place. Waiting until the show reaches a critical level on the cancellation front isn't so wise. There's a postcard campaign in the works to get the word to the network that yo, we don't have Neilson boxes, but we're watching.

Send a postcard or two, simply stating that you're watching, and want the show to stay on the air.

There's also a plan in the works for a Variety ad. Cost will be about 1700. It's important to act in time for sweeps. We're at Code Yellow, so let's get the word out before we reach Red.

For more info, visit JossWhedon.net.

This is an important time for fandom, the net makes it possible for fans to organize, and be heard. Postcards are cheap, and are something that can be counted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Possibly too trivial for Press, but definitely not apocalyptic enough for Beep Me:

I'm kind of feverish and can't remember which LAista it was who was out searching for actual pink gingham. I found some, two bolts of average pink gingham and one of genuinely pretty rose gingham, for less than $3/yard. If said LAista still wants pink gingham, she can email me at my Yahoo address, j_zahas@yahoo.com, to let me know how much and I'll go out and grab it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

October 24 was Kate P's birthday.

Happy Belated Birthday, Kate P., from all the Buffistas!!!
