Happy New Year?
February 8th, 2008Times sure do fly and I can’t believe it’s already February ‘08! I’ve been neglecting the site, or well this blog anyway, though I’ve been trying to update the Photo Gallery when I can. Last year was good to me with the traveling and all the events I got to attend.
This year is looking pretty good, too. Probably the bestest news so far is the Buffy Reunion being held by the Paley Center, as part of their annual Paley Fest!!! I’ve always wanted to go to one of these events… they always manage to have some cool shows take part in the fest. When I heard about the Reunion, there was no doubt in my mind I would try to attend. Angela and I now have tickets and I can’t wait! It’ll be awesome to see nearly the entire cast and Joss Whedon! Every Buffy fan’s dream event, I tells ya.
I do feel bad that a lot of people weren’t able to get tickets, and some who did are now scalping them on eBay for a lot more than face-value. That’s just not right. Here’s hoping that at least the event will be recorded and then distributed via DVD. That would be very neat and make a nice memento.
Aside Buffy, I’m also attending the Chuck and Pushing Daisies panels. Should be fun. Kinda sucky we can’t take photos during the events, but I’m sure they’ll be entertaining. The Chuck panel at Comic Con was hilarious, so for sure this one will be great, too!
Continuing on the fandom front, after the Paley Fest is Grand Slam again! They have a pretty neat line-up, too! I’ve really enjoyed all the events put on by Creation and I’m really happy I’ll be able to help out this year. I love volunteering for conventions, especially when the people running the events do a good job of putting them together. Good convention/event organizers are few and far between.
A few months after Grand Slam will be Comic Con, the con to end all cons. Good times in beautiful San Diego. This time I’ll make it a point not to lose my purse or anything else that might be vital, aside the pint or two of A pos that I’ll gladly donate.
Aside those set events, I’ll be attending the San Diego Indie Music Festival which should be great! It’s been a long while since I’ve been to a music event like this, so I’m really looking forward to it. I love discovering new music!
So that’s the tentative events/fandom schedule for the first part of the year. Fun times. :o)
