Buffy Night: one week later than usual

I can see myself being too tired after Swancon for visitors, so this is 3 weeks after the last one. Nearly at the end of Season 1!

What: Watch the next 3 episodes of Buffy: "The Puppet Show", "Nightmares", "Out of Mind, Out of Sight"
When: 6pm for a 6:30ish start, Wednesday 21st April. Any time before 9:00pm is ok if you don't missing bits/being quiet as you come in.
Where: My house. If you're not on the filter for that post (and I suck at filters so that may be lots of people) email/IM/comment etc and I'll tell you my address
Who: Anyone who knows and likes me well enough to hang out for a few hours and would get some enjoyment out of watching Buffy.
What to bring: Any snack food you wish to eat, and if neccesary your own dinner. I will provide nothing but chairs and a tv(*) :P Maybe some carrot sticks and rice thins too.

My health issues mean I will probably kick people out quite sharply not long after the last episode so I can sleep. Please do not take this personally :)

(*)I'm fine with people having a mass pizza order or something, but since I have such wierd food issues will leave that to you guys to figure out for yourselves. I'll have some menus for local places to hand.

There's another train...

So at this point only one person is really turning up to Stargate, and he doesn't even like the show. It occured to me that if I changed the format I might get to see other people as well. I do Not Get Out Much so this would be nice.

Please only choose options you would ACTUALLY TURN UP TO. Not necessarily every fortnight or whatever, but not never or only once either. Keep in mind I live in Bayswater.

And I understand many of you would come if you had the time/lived on the right continent etc, no offense taken :)

[Poll #1345300]

Options for "Something else" to be decided if enough people seem interested.

I feel pretty crap right now but am feeling very Disclaimer 4aish and this seemed the safest thing on my to-do list.

Birthday lunch rsvps

Hello! Have just posted to Facebook and that's a more convenient way of counting, but anyone who's not on that please let me know if you're coming.

Time: 12 noon Saturday 22nd November
Place: Jetties Restaurant Hillaries Boat Harbour
Booking under Sophie *my married name*

I SUCK at deciding this sort of thing so cast the net pretty wide, given how absent minded I am I probably still missed people (but no complaining if I missed you because you currently live in England or Canberra etc :P)

I actually don't want TOO many people coming since I'm not sure how large a booking they'll take(*), but I've had too many bad experiences of NOONE coming to stuff I organise to just invite the actual number I want.

(*)In retrospect, 62 was maybe a few too many...I said I suck! Man, I hate organising things.

Staaaaaaargating accross the universe...

Stargate evening went quite well, even if the people who came were a completely different group to the people I initially thought were coming :) There was much snarking and eating of healthy snacks.

Anyway, next one is Wednesday after next, the 1st of October, unless people have a much better suggestion. I *could* move it to just being next Wednesday, the 24th of September, if that was better for more people.

We will be watching:
s1 "There but for the grace of God"
s1/s2 cliffhanger "Within the Serpents Grasp/Lair"

While I did remember the first episode being cheesy, I had somehow blanked out the explicit nudity and tentacle porn o.O

I think I ate too many pistachios...

Stargate time nao?

So I was thinking not this week but the one after (ie the 10th) for Stargate, but I thought I should check with people (not that most of you even bothered to click "other" in my last one you lazy bums)

Remember: this is 6:30pm (till about 9:30pm) at my house in Bayswater, which has access by train and circle route. I will provide address details to anyone who wishes to come. People can arrive late/leave early if they have to.
