As a girl who prides herself on and is often frightened by having obsessions, I try to keep that energy focused, so it doesn't get out of hand and do something rash.
My new obsession is Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Needing something to watch while on my elliptical, Champ let me borrow the first season a month or so ago. I devoured it in three days and liked it so much that I bought a boxed set of the entire series.
I am currently in the beginning of season 6. I'm totally hooked and my friends are so very glad. We got together a few weeks ago for wine and cheese at Mchan's and spent, I kid you not, at least an hour talking about the show.
We decided that it was time to venture to a place no point of light has gone before: A convention. BuffyCon 2007. So we hopped online, where all people go to find information, especially regarding conventions of any kind, and we sought out information about this year's Buffy convention. We talked about how cool it would be to have it close to Knoxville, TN so we could all go to Dollywood too because that's a trip we have long been trying to get together when suddenly, the giggles died down and a somber tone took over the room.
There is no Buffy convention this year.
Just when I was so excited to be nerdy enough about something to go to a convention for it, they stop having them. Apparently last years attendance was low and there were whispers even then around the Buffy community that that one was it.
So here's my plan: I and my girls convince the cast to come to my house for a Buffy BBQ in my back yard. They don't have to act scenes from the show out, I don't think any of us will be wearing costumes (maybe plastic vampire teeth, but I swear that's it) and we could drink beer and shoot the shit and I could quietly be thrilled by the people who play my fictional heroes being in my back yard.
How cool would that be? I'd have an excuse to pretty up the back yard too.
BuffyCon 2007! Coming this summer to my back yard, where only the points are invited!

Yea! If for some unfathomable reason none of the cast members agree to come, let's do it anyway. My theme for the summer is "BBQ Summer, 2007." The basic idea is that other people will plan barbecues with lots of vegetarian stuff, and invite me, and I'll attend!
I'm holding out for VizlaFest07!!! which, in my humble opinion, would be way more fun. AND I can guarantee cast members.
I'm down for the VizlaFest 07 as well! I'll bring my rare hybrid sport model! We'll have a blast buring food and shooting the poo! Dont worry Mchan there will be some burnt veggies too!
