Mit singen und tanzen und vampen!

Mil grazie to Weebat for pointing out that the Uncool Kids are bringing the Buffy Musical Sing-a-Long Hextravaganza to DC this summer! It's serving as a litmus test for some friends--man, how have so many of you survived in IT jobs without having watched the show?--but already the Hobbit Boyz and assorted others have declared their intention to join the hijinx. It should be superfantastic; I must find bunny ears tout de suite.

For anyone else in the DC area interested in getting tickets, call or visit the Avalon Theatre's box office. Their hours are 2 to 8 PM, and since their system closes out right at 8, any requests after that will go nowhere, wheedle how you will. Um, from a friend I heard this.

ALSO, should you have a ridiculous amount of spare cash burning its way out of your 7 For All Mankinds, damn well give it to me and don't stake it on the eBay auction for dinner with Whedon during the San Diego Comic-Con. Sure, Equality Now could use the scratch and everyone would appreciate the chance to drop a little "Well, as Joss said to me the other night..." shock and awe into daily conversation, but the bidding is already around $5,000 for each of the five seats. To reiterate: EACH. SEAT. Is five large and climbing. And you're sharing the experience with four randoms. Hell with the Season Eight prints and autographs they're offering to sweeten the deal; I would hold out for...I can't even think what. Nathan Fillion's cell number? Style tips from Gina Torres? ("Start by being born hot and ass-kicking, and after that it's just finding the right conditioner!") Anthony Stewart Head playing "Behind Blue Eyes" during the brandy and cigars? Vera? The imagination wibbles. But should you find yourself possessed of said crazy money and unwilling to let me buy a genuine pony with it, you've got until July 12 to place a bid. Godspeed.

You can bid on other items too like leftover watches for the crew to a hardcover edition of "Those Left Behind," signed of course. So far, those are about 10 times less, in the 500 dollar range.

And weebat and I have an informal pool going on to guess the final ticket price. Feel free to join the fun!

We have just hit $9,000 for Seat Number One.

Whoa. Seat Number Two has broken the $11,000 mark. I have checked several times because I cannot believe mine eyes.

Amen on the whoa. I would guess that Diner Number 2 is the most determined bidder, but since Dinner Spot 4 is over 10K, s/he may have to go even farther up. This is completely insane.

Are you sure we couldn't mug someone at the con?
