Just got back from the first sing-a-long, it was a total blast Thanks to Claude for joining me and a special thanks to my sister for being such a sport while I got to geek out. I also got to talk up BBtL a lot and my nifty shirt got lots of great attention. Too bad I don’t have a different one for tomorrow, maybe I’ll have to come up with something on the fly. Oh yeah, I didn’t do the Buffy-okie tonight, he switched the shows so the one he wants me for is tomorrow night.

I also met a couple of other cool fans and was promised some more How I Got Into Buffy Stories woo hoo! I should have my special interview up tomorrow or so… Stay tuned!
