The room block for Century Plaza is open for the Wolfram & Hart Annual Revue. You will be able to book on the internet on Monday, but if you'd like to call reservations, the number is: (310) 277-2000

The code for the block is Wolfram & Hart Annual Revue. I know, it's clever, eh?

The block is good Thursday-Monday at a rate of $159 per night.

Need a suite? Contact Maya@emahollywood.com and we'll get you a fab rate.

You can also book at the Holiday Inn Express at a rate of $99 per night. The Holiday Inn Express is a half mile from the Century Plaza.

Auction News: In addition to the two panthers signed by J. August Richards, we have a pile of items signed by Joss Whedon which include signed scripts of Serenity, Waiting in the Wings, the Angel Season Five premiere, Fray, and a special 100th Episode t-shirt.

I'll post more items when they're in my greedy wee hands...but you know how I love an auction. Special lovely gorgeous things are in the works that you won't be able to get anywhere else, plus donations from all over the Angelverse.

You can still register for the party through Monday the 15th of December at the $104 price. After that, we'll have to tack on a late reg fee.

We'll be announcing the pre-party plans soon, and the price for a pre-party ticket. Many thanks to CoA for choosing the theme, which is comfy and jazzy and the perfect way to chill and meet up with old friends, hang with new ones, and drink entirely too much...er, if you drink...and are 21 or older.

Also, the lovely Anya has generously offered to be the Suite Sitter for the Hospitality Suite during the Revue, so those of you coming to LA to meet up with old friends but not coming to the Big Bash, you are very welcome to have a small soiree in our suite duing the party itself, provided you obey Anya and give her the love she so richly deserves and don't freakin' touch my gin. Ima need it when this shindig is done.

Also, also, white wings sent me a pound of homemade fudge, and I forgot to thank her, because I was in a fudge coma.

The fudge was so good that I hallucinated pretty colors for days....hm. white wings spiked my fudge.

Ginger Cakes!

I'm doing the first year of what's become a bit of an annual tradition elsewhere: Scots ginger cake for those who request it.

The cake is lovely, dark, moist, spicey and is baked and shipped in individual pans. If I'm covering shipping, I can take about ten requests, because it has to go priority mail (perishable) and that's nearly $4 a pop to send.

However, if you want a cake and are willing to cover the shipping, there's no limit to how many of those I can bake and send.

So, if you want a ginger cake, email me at sf_deb@yahoo.com and let me know whether you can cover shipping or not.

Because I'm not too scared of NBC:

Charisma Carpenter was on Miss Match on Friday, and so was Daniel Dae Kim (Gavin Park from Angel).

So I said "What the heck" and did 50 screencaps, which you can find here:

Pictures from party at Aimee and MM's place and Brunch with Perkins. Enjoy!

Could the Buffista who sells Mary Kay get in touch with me? I'm running low.

[It's ChiKat, and she did.]

I have a few spare tickets to Return on the King at The CineramaDome in Hollywood this Saturday at 11:15 PM. We'll be getting together for Dinner/Drinks at the Arclight cafe beforehand. If anyone is interested contact me.

I am looking for someone to write 500-600 words on the subject "The Ten Best Computer Games." Can be online, offline, classics and new. Mac and PC should be covered. Aimed at a nonspecialist audience (Think: your grandma. So maybe lean more towards "Bejeweled" and less towards FPS.) Humor a plus. I can pay $100 (pitiful I know) plus five copies of the eventual book (due to be published much sooner than I'd like). Plus credit in the staff list.

Deadline -- end of the week. (Jammed? Who's jammed?)

Profile addy is good ...

Bay Areaistas, or others willing to relocate:

Best. Job Listing. Ever.

I have somebody to write the games thingy, plus a coupla backups!

Thanks!

I'm reposting this from the Official FF Board, in case anyone wanted to contribute:

We are soliciting monetary donations in order to purchase copies of the Firefly DVD's for our troops. This effort accomplishes many goals that we can all agree are worthwhile:

1. It will provide entertainment for our soldiers. 2. It will increase sales of the Firefly DVD's. 3. It will increase the fan base, once the recipients see said DVD's! 4. It will give us an opportunity to generate more press for Firefly.

The initial campaign goal is to raise enough funds to purchase 120 copies of the DVD's for dispersal to all USO centers worldwide. Once enough money is raised to accomplish this we can focus on other groups, such as Army personnel stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, aboard Navy ships, etc.

Donations can be made in two ways, through PayPal or by mail to Kristen [of the Firefly: Immediate Assistance campaign.]

To make your donation using PayPal, you can do one of two things:

Go to Paypal and do the contribution manually by hitting "Send Money" and then typing in:

firefly@sgcwebdesign.com.

Or, even easier, you can click on this.

[Paypal does charge a transaction fee. It is 2.9%+ $0.30 USD for US Dollars, 3.4%+ $0.55 CAD for Canadian Dollars, 3.4%+ €0.35 EUR for Euros and 3.4%+ £0.20 GBP for British Pounds Sterling.]

To make a donation the old fashioned way, you can mail your check or money order directly to:

Kristen Reidel
SGC Web Design
6101 W. Centinela Avenue, Suite 375
Culver City, CA 90230

Checks should be made payable to Kristen Reidel. Please note that if you are sending money from outside the US, you will need to purchase a money order in US DOLLARS or we will be unable to use your contribution due the high fees associated with cashing checks or money orders issued in foreign currency.

This donation drive will be open until Friday, January 30th, 2004. This gives you plenty of time to find a few extra dollars to help Serenity & her crew.

Let the giving begin!
