I really want to purchase Firefly on DVD, a series that I never got to catch the first time around. And, I just read an interview with Alyson Hannigan (Willow, Buffy The Vampire Slayer) hinting about discussion of a Buffy movie built around Spike, who just so happens to be another monster (no pun intended!) crush of mine!
Sigh. My Buffy & Angel fanzines are like Penthouse to me. (insert 25 geek smileys)

Last weekend I went with one of my pals to the WonderCon (a comics/fantasy convention here in San Francisco). Joss was there with 3 members of the Firefly cast - all of whom were also guests on Buffy/Angel. They were going to be doing a signing session, but in order to meet them you had to participate in a raffle (each autograph session was limited to 125 participants). I was given strict instructions by Heather, my beautiful wife, that it was mandatory for me to get Adam Baldwin's autograph. I lost the raffle, but instead won a raffle to get Christian Bale's signature. Luckily, there were some very young girls who had a winning Firefly ticket and were drooling over Christian, so a trade was made. That afternoon, I was chatting with the local Universal Pictures rep who, for reasons still unknown to me, decided to bring me "backstage" to the press room. I got to walk to the autograph room with Joss and Adam and was first on line for autographs. I returned home with a 8x10 inscribed to Heather by the three boys (Summer Glau just signed her name) and I was allowed into the house. "Secret" crush? Some secret.
