THE PANDA IS DEAD, folks. DEAD!

But it lives on, on our heads.

Sooooo, this is by far the geekiest post I will make all night. We just had our two big things, the theremin concert and the awarding of the Buffista medals.

Jon, in tribute to all the loved ones out there (go Buffista marriage! choose Buffista marriage!) regaled us with "I Think I Love You" and "The Greatest Love of All." (Why yes, it is on tape.) We also got his classic rendition of the Slayer's Elegy/Angel Theme/Buffy theme, which we all rocked out on, and wrapped up with a "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." Panties were thrown, dancing was had. The silver pleather suit was in attendance. It was great.

Then we did the medal ceremony; David called up last years' receivers, and Raquel read the list off her PDA in the style of the Foamies. A bunch of people were awarded them in absentia; everyone thought that Deena and Raquel's work was just beautiful. Tom got one for board-coding, and it took five minutes for it to get pinned on by Emily. Poor dude. Drew got one, for helping out two years a row in the hospitality suite, and shed a tear or two (we love you man!) and Lois got one for her help putting together this year's event; it's her birthday too, so we sang to her.

It was a lot of fun, and a great way to give back to the people who have made this board a community. So thanks to everyone.

Beth, I think yahoo photos is timing out. Check back in a bit; I'll post links in Press later.

Tom Scola, lay off my roomie!

t back in room for brenda's costume change

There have been many costume changes tonight, each more amazing than the last. DX pointed out that there is an HSQ to the attire this year!

Buffistas foamy, but you knew that.

eta: I love that I can't get in to look at SA's pics, cuz y'all are looking at 'em.

Back to the party to see and grope in person.

Raquel and I rock.

So sad not to be there. But I've been to some of those places so I can picture all.

Last call. The bartender's leaving in five minutes.

single malt - straight up -- the more smoke the bettter,please

Beth, I will raise a glass of single malt (TJ/Macallan 13 year) with you, as we suffer here, away from the fun.

Foamy prom-goers! DH and I thought of y'all while going about our mundane lives taking Annabel to her second M's game tonight. (She still hasn't seen them win, surprise surprise.)
