Having just failed to get into the Tapes N Tapes and Plastic Constellations show at First Avenue--Why didn't I buy a ticket in advance? That's right: Because neither of these bands has ever sold more than 400 tickets; should I have expected them to sell all 1400 at First?--I was in need of a pick me up, and no one had sent me an FTD Pick Me Up Bouquet.
Ah, but Paul, you are the Merlin Olson of entertainment news. Thank you, bub. I love the Buffy. I'd even let her kick me in the face if she autographed her foot first. -cK
I saw this earlier in the week (I, too, sing of nerdiness)and have utte faith in Joss the way I certainly would not in many others. I think it will be great. We have a whole world full of Slayers, right? He's picking up, as I understand it, in continuity with the end of the series. So now I really, really need to donate eggs or something and pick up that entire series so I can own it like a materialistic hog.

I just peed a little!
I knew this was in the works because, well, I'm a big nerd, but it's very cool to see definitive progress.
Short of more tv, or a movie, this is the best way to go about extending the Buffyverse.
