so i’ve been living here in LA for, what, almost 4 years now? and i’ve never been to the LA Film Festival. how utterly sad, right? yes. sad. but! this year i went, and was well rewarded for my attendance.

so there’s this thing that’s been happening: www.buffysings.com, where a theater full of people sing along to the eternally awesome Buffy: the Vampire Slayer episode “Once More, With Feeling”. it’s like a modern-day Rocky Horror Picture Show, but without so much of the food-throwing. there was a showing this past wednesday night, and sara and i went with our friend rita. not only was it so much freaking fun (we’re going again in september when the show comes back to LA), but at the end, the MC guy (the same guy that runs the site/blog from the previous link) says that he wants to introduce someone, and all of a sudden hands the mic over to Marti Noxon. holy crap! the place went wild. Marty was really cool and right away told us that she was indeed wearing underwear. she seemed very flattered at the number of people who showed up, and after saying a little more (i don’t remember much, i was frantically snapping pictures), she turns around and invites Joss Whedon to come down and say a few words. He stands up at the very back and the entire theater goes absolutely NUTS.

it was an awesome evening. my friend rita’s blog really captures it all, thanks to her for having her EOS with her that evening. *awesome* photos she has there, and i’ll post some of mine as soon as i have a chance to get them up to the server. in the meantime, hit rita’s blog and check out the Whedon Fandom at critical mass.
