Baltimore and DCistas! (And anyone else who feels like venturing out this way.)

I'm having a Boxing Day (well, day after B.D.) party at my place.

When: December 27th, starting at around 5pm and going to whenever. (Bad weather date--January 3).

Where: My messy, messy house, with a half-remodeled bathroom, a basement full of manga, and more unfinished craft projects than any one person should possess.

Events:

• Tea and scones, followed by a late supper of whatever I'm inspired to make/buy/beg someone else to make, and varying desserts.

• Games of various sorts, if people are interested. (Let me know if you have anything fun or interesting that you'd like to inflict on an unwary crowd.)

• The First Annual Bad Gift Exchange. Every year, some well-meaning relative, friend, or co-worker gives you something tacky, tasteless, useless, inedible, smelly, allergy-inducing, pointless, or just plain awful. Re-wrap your least desireable gift and bring it with you for a special gift exchange. You may end up going home with something you like, or you may end up making a quick trip to my garbage cans on your way home.

Please RSVP by Dec 26 at my profile addy.

Buffy S6 is available for preordering on Amazon. I'm'a order it tonight, so any Buffistas who would like to be Share The Loved may ping me at my profile addy before 5 today.

You'll never believe what we have in the auction.

Angel's leather jacket? Got two. Stuff peeled from Spike's bod? That too.

And a certain piece of bling bling that can close a Hellmouth and bring your non-corporeal arse to LA.

I'll be posting more stuff after the holidays.

We're moving!

Towards that effort, I'm going to take the site down tonight at 11pm board time. Peoplesforum is the refuge in the meanwhile.

If everything goes well, the domain switchover should take a day or two to come into effect, and we'll be up at the new host before Monday.

Mailing list admins! Please make a copy of your list members -- mailing list functionality may not be up right away, or in the same way, but we'll get that as soon as possible.

If you have a subdomain, please make a copy of it also. I'll be migrating the whole thing, but every little bit of backup helps.

Ta.

(And if you're having issues with Peoplesforum, try PFisDown and click on links there...)

And don't forget to bookmark the PF IP-addressy-URL now, because you won't have access to the posts above once this board goes down!

Actually, you will, since there'll be a "sorry" page up.

But bookmarking is good.

And this isn't natter. It's vital information.

The switchover has happened. Hopefully you should notice nothing, other than filk.buffistas.org being down, and that's being worked on.

If you DO notice things, please report them in Buffistas Building A Better Board. If your error has already been noted there, no need to repost the whole thing.

Thanks for your gentleness, and goodnight.

If you felt the 11:15 quake and want to tell the US Geological Service about your experience, you can do it here:

It's taken me a long time to finally get this done, but the video footage that DX shot of the 2003 F2F is finally going online.

I've done all of the conversion to get them down to a managable size. They are QuickTime Movies, so Windows folks may have to make sure you've got the QuickTime plugin.

All of the movies are now online! This is a link to the first one and from that page you can link to all of the others.

Just fixing things to show that I've now got all 7 parts of the movie online. Merry Xmas!
