Beach Blanket Buffy

The Lone Star's Fanboy Buffy Night with Beach Blanket Babylon sing-a-long was pretty awesome. Lovely people, and shouts out to the darling and lovable BBB performer and friend Ryan Rigazzi who couldn't make the event (a family member's birthday? priorities!). His cast mates were super cute though, and definitely PLU on Buffy Fanboy Night.


Ryan is moving with his partner to Puerto Vallarta in a couple of weeks. His little bundle of energy will be missed.

As disturbingly intense and knowledgeable as we were, Team Tarn/Satryicon/Raviv and Hardcastle did not place in the finals in the Buffy trivia. And those that did sort of scared me in their detailed knowledge. And if you know me, that is saying something.

My favorite and unexpected part of the night was igniting the crowd into the night-long audience participation bit of shouting "SHUT UP DAWN!" at the screen any time the Scrappy Doo/Cousin Oliver of BtVS had a line. I said it at first without thinking but was quickly joined by my bearded brethren. I've always hater her character—but I had no idea the dislike was so universal, and visceral. So much fun.
