When I discovered Buffy, I was also a Salon reader, so I think I remembered there was a Table Talk Buffy thread, and I checked it out.
Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Our wings are not tired.
I started watching Buffy late, maybe Season 4, then sought out the previous seasons. I found Buffistas on World Crossing. It was shortly after 9/11 and I was desperately seeking distraction from watching news. Y'all were such a delightful distraction. Back then Bitches was porn! Not as talky as it was 16 years ago, but still my favorite internet destination. You are my home.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just realized I turned two into Buffistas.
And the rest were food?

I found Buffistas on Table Talk when I was searching for a pirated copy of Graduation Day Part 2. And sort of followed y'all ever since. It worked out pretty good for me. I would certainly not be with Tom or in New Orleans if not for Buffy and the board.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Aw, Annie Lamott was responsible for at least two Buffistas. I attended a weekend seminar at which she was among the speakers. She mentioned having a column (a guest column? Was she ever a regular columnist?) on Salon, so I went to check it out, discovered TableTalk, and Agnes Bertiz!
I was thinking the other day of Tim visiting the Angel thread after eps aired, getting a sense of how the series was being perceived by viewers. TableTalk was a long time ago. And then there was WorldCrossing. And then we came home. Thank you, ita.
And bon voyage, msbelle!
