Thanks Sophia! Interesting that Sweet commented much more on the "meta" nature of the plot and characters than is usual - which fits, I guess, given the Musical's structure.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

The OMWF cd took forever to arrive, with 2 day delivery. We had to complain to Amazon and get them to cancel the charges. I think it took 10 days after we received notice that it had shipped.
(non-sequitor...) Sweet's tapping! That's what was missing. I had burned a cd of it, right after OMWF and the volume of that song was never right. It was really faint. When listening to the Rounder Records cd, I was just overwhelmed that I could finally hear it so clearly. But yes! Now that I know, the tapping is sorely missed.
I just picked up Reading the Vampire Slayer and Fighting the Forces. I know they're kind of old news. Was there much discussion about them at WXing?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I know there was some discussion of Reading the Vampire Slayer, because Jen had a pre-publication version of it that she circulated. You might also try searching the Attic using the phrase "Reading the Vampire Slayer".

"I just picked up Reading the Vampire Slayer and Fighting the Forces. I know they're kind of old news."
I enjoyed them both (and there is a third similar volume in the works but the title escapes me). My favorite chapter in RtVS was Laugh, Spawn of Hell, Laugh, which dealt with the wide variety of humor used in Buffy.
I also read Topping's two books on Angel and Buffy, and Bite Me! by Nikki Stafford (which includes season six). Less meat in those more fannish volumes, but reviews of episodes which are fun to agree/disaree with.
I'm also reading a bio of Albert Speer, so I do read non-Buffy books now and then.

I am Jack's total lack of surprise.
Has anyone heard if they are planning to release another Watcher's Guide?

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
Just wanted to drop in to mention that a new Tales of the Slayers: Broken Bottle of Djinn one-shot should be in the stores today. I think it features two stories, one about a Slayer in 1930s New York, and one about Buffy. The authors of the stories are Jane Espenson and Doug Petrie, so we should get relief from the craptacular Scott Lobdell for a while. I'm off to the store now to pick it up.

That's a regular comic, right Jeff?

Yes, it is a regular comic (although it is priced at $3.50). I found it to be too short, which is a good thing.
