I want a Sunnydale high t shirt! Might ask for one now for Christmas and I can wear it with pride! When the show ended they sold a lot of the props etc on eBay and I remember having a look but couldn't afford anything unfortunately. When we were in London a few years ago we went to a museum on the South bank near the National theatre. May have been the London film museum? Something like that. We went in the cafe there and they had the drawings on the wall from season two, the ones Angel drew of Buffy etc. I was beyond excited! Lol

I miss Buffy - DP knew that if it was on we were in & watching! I still have my rather tatty Sunnydale High School tshirt that I wear to bed & my 7 yo dd asked if that was where I went to school (I wish - though would prob have been vamped or eaten by a demon!)

Might ask for the box set for Christmas (or join Netflix for a bit if that's where they are?)

Oo, just remembered the swim team episode (might have been called 'go fish') where Xander joins the team to find out about the mermen...very memorable!

Oo, was at least ten years! Married eh? Good for him.
He was the only guest at this thing that gave the best q & a and kept doing funny things like popping his head out and waving (and majing us shriek with delight) as he walked round the venue. He didn't take himself too seriously and knew what we geeks wanted!

When was the geek gathering? He's married now you see so was wondering if it was the same girl lol! Maybe they got back together and ended up getting married.

Re - web chat. I agree, I would love one with Joss! And SMG or Alyson Hannigan would also be good.

Hmmm, could be interesting! What would you ask him?

When I saw him talking at the "geek gathering" he hinted that he'd trashed his apartment ( and lamented the loss of one of his guitars) when his then girlfriend left him. Sort of thing Spike might do, I reckon. Wonder if the character rubbed off on him a bit!
To be a bit boring, I'd seriously love to web chat with Joss or maybe even Sarah MG.
Love this thread. I've come to terms with my inner geek and am no longer in denial about who I am anymore...(dons Buffy t-shirt with contented sigh) Wink

Do it, rusty!

Should we ask for a james marsters web chat? Or would we all just drool and embarrass ourselves?

Having acquired the entire 7 series on DVD by getting them for DD's Christmas and/or birthday over her teenage years, I am now left bereft because she's moved out to a house of her own and taken them all with her!

Amazon currently have the lot for £49.50 and I am sorely tempted....

I saw Ghost of the Robot at the Scalable and it was full of 12-year-olds and a few older Buffy fans - so an excellent view over the kids'heads!
His mates Danny Strong and Tom Lenk (Jonathan and Andrew) turned up as everyone left, and my mate literally fell on her face in front of them in awe, which worked out well as the security were refusing to let them in until all of our friends went "no, they really are in the TV show with the singer"!

Spike or Wesley the Demon Hunter, though? Or Giles as Ripper? I've seen ASH as the Pirate King oozing campness and eyeliner, which was quite an experience...

I think in my current state of fitness- going to bed with Spike would kill me, and that's without him vamping out. But what a way to go......

Going to bed with Angel would be roughly equivalent to going to bed with a side of ham.

Going to bed with Spike, sigh,...

'I always thought he would be well better in bed than Angel! Spike would have you all over the place! Wow, I've given it way too much thought! '

Honey, we've ALL given that too much thought [hwink]

Got the CD up on Spotify Grin. Doing cooking while singing along to it......and have just watched the episode in S6 where Buffy and Spike knock hell out of each other before......ahem......making a house fall down! Have a feeling this is going to be one hell of a destructive relationship for them both.

Hmmm, have been toying with getting the Once more with feeling cd! The songs were great.
Have been watching various YouTube clips of the making of that episode. Love that Joss wrote the music and lyrics.

Yes that's it, Ghost of the robot they were called you are quite right. They split up for a few years but I think they've reformed again now.

Well today I'm very happy, yesterday I put Once more with feeling on for my daughter and she absolutely loved it! We've watched it about five times now. She wants to watch more but I will have to pick and choose episodes I think as she is definitely too young for a lot of them!

Love that video, Frankel! Had me in stitches. [hgrin] He's brilliant...hmmm, Spam has a key...! Just makes me want more Buffy!

Yep, that Buffy/Edward comparison made him look so creepy!!! Urghhhhhh! what a total psycho.

Wintera, wasn't his band called 'Ghost of the robot' or something? I saw him at a ahem, 'convention' some years back and he was plugging them. Out of him and Emma Caufield who was also there, he was actually quite funny and not taking himself, or Buffy too seriously. He did hint that he had a full-on crush on Sarah Michelle Gellar too which was interesting!

I was always amazed by James Marsters arms to be honest with you all. He was so thin but his arms always had really defined muscles in them. I don't normally go for blondes at all but I'd make an exception for Spike though! I always thought he would be well better in bed than Angel! Spike would have you all over the place! Wow, I've given it way too much thought!

I saw James Marsters once when he toured the UK with his band. They played at The Cavern in Liverpool so we thought we'd go and watch. I felt a bit sorry for the other guys in his band as it was obvious people had just come to see JM!

That video link was fabulous. Buffy so bored with Edward Cullens moody emo vamp attitude.


The links from the video were good too....Edward Cullen described as a "glittery girl attraction, a sort of My Litttle Pony with fangs"
