Heh.
Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
Sign of a Long-Time Seattlite: I remember when there were only TWO Starbucks, they sold herbs and chunks of chocolate, and perhaps loose tea.

I miss those days.
Anyone who knows... Did Nick B's pilot get pushed off until mid-season? I thought I read here that it was a go for fall, but then I thought I read elsewhere that it wasn't picked up, and only might be picked up as a replacement, come the new year.
(Oh and in which case - feh. I want more Nick on my TV.)
Those numbers are especially not-bad because it was on against American Idol, which I think everyone else in the world watched.
Did you know that Starbucks has bought Seattle's best?
Yeah, they're working on acquiring both Seattle's Best Coffee and Torre Ifa ... uh ... I can't spell the name. It's my understanding that they want to keep both brands separate brands -- they won't really be Starbucks, but the employees will become Starbucks employees.
It hasn't been cleared through the government yet, so nothing's official.
Here endeth the mini-gibberish from a mini-Buffista hardly working in the HR department of the Coffee Company That Ate the World.
PS Buffy likes mochas
That seems to be a popular strategy these days. Acquire a bunch of different companies or brands that all sell the same thing & keep the names, so that you get the Starbucks drinkers AND the Seattle's Best drinkers. We Americans, we like to think we have choices, but they're all the same thing.
We're getting our very first Starbucks here soon. They are still building it, there was a big to do in the paper about how this might drive the independent coffee houses out of business.
Which I don't see happening because of Starbuck's location--it's not a bad location but it's not near the colleges, the arty district, or right next to the duck pond which is where all the independently owned coffee houses are.
Did Nick B's pilot get pushed off until mid-season?
From NickBrendon.com: FOX announced its 2003-2004 schedule this week, and unfortunately, The Pool at Maddy Breakers won't be on the network's schedule come fall. No word yet on whether it's being considered as a midseason replacement.
When I was looking at the schedules for next fall I didn't see anything that looked like his show and was afraid of that.
