Buffistaversary: June 2, 1999
first post, #1617 of 4014, motherthread, TT, Is Anyone Watching BTVS? by Agnes Bertiz
I'd gone with a friend to a poetry conference in Charlotte, guests Li Young Lee and Anne LaMott (and a troupe of Native American dancers in full regalia). A main feature of Annie's talk was her ASL interpreter. She messed with him by throwing random words and phrases into her speech, full stopping to watch him, and thanking him. It was fun. She mentioned Table Talk so I looked it up and tapped a few of the threads until I ran across Agnes' Buffy thread. Ta-da!
I was here for the "too many Davids" discussion where Dana named all three Davids present, and Hec and Knut adjusted their names to suit. (Hah! Inadvertant rhyme. Keeping it)
Like Laura said, this place has been a haven and a refuge, a source of solace in bad times, and a source of courage and light in other bad times, a place of friendship and hero worship and joy. (Fist to heart) You have my love and loyalty always. Ginger said she watched the people in the threads having lives and doing things for months before she decloaked. That Buffistas helped her get through chemo and she felt she knew us before she stopped being a lurker and joined us.
