Vidders Notes : Another relationship vid after I promised myself I would make more this year. I've always been fond of their dark, twisted devotion to each other, well up until that point where you know who became an issue. Spike to me was very loyal to Drusilla despite her physical relationship with Angelus. You'll notice I've tried to keep him out of this, focusing on just these two.  Musically yet again back to ol'faithfull VAST for the song. I really love this band, in my mind they are synonymous with AtS and BtVS, I've vidded five of their tracks to date to these fandoms and I haven't used 'Here' or 'Touched' which were featured in the show themselves. sockkpuppett has a beautiful Wes /Angel vid to 'Here' which if you haven't seen yet, Why not?

I can't believe I forgot to post this.  Anyway - drawn for the Vampire Ball Convention last year but Julie had to cancel so I did not take it for signing. But I thought I'd share.



Medium sized here . I'll link the HQ one once I've loaded to the website.  HQ version here

When this episode - The Girl In Question -  first aired I wa so full of woe at the impending canelleation/series finale that I didn't enjoy it at all. In fact I was quite annoyed that Mutant Enemy were daring to make me laugh when I all I wanted to do was mourn Angel The Series.  Now it ranks amongst my favourites, it gives us some of the very best Spike/ Angel moments of the slayerverse and this wonderful scene with ravished Drusilla and Darla.

I miss my show.

Just look at these banoonoo guests?



Now that looks more like a Zombie pose than a Vamp one but I don't want to be picky. If you can't quite make out who's who then the line up was as follows : Steve Carlson (Kane)  Georges Jeanty, Dayne Johnson, Brody Hutzler, Clare Kramer, Allan Hyde (True Blood), Keith Szarabajkas, Juliet Landau. and Christian Kane (with a special appearance Saturday evening and Sunday from Jonathan Woodward)  An impressive line up even with the cancellation of Julie Benz and Marianna Klaveno (True Blood)    Both myself and whiskyinmind had a super time.  The meet and greet was awesome - we got to meet all the guests who became steadily more inebriated each time (apart from Allan Hyde - aww bless) who was just seriously cute.  Christian Kane I think made whiskyinmind  whole weekend regarding her tattoo and a certain guitar pick :) 

Here are teaser photos of the guests. On each of the links there are more notes about what was discussed in the Q&A's and the read throughs. I just didn't have time to cut and paste it all here.



Opening ceremony 'Cheers' and Allan is wondering why he's the only one without a drink. More opening ceremony photos here



Brody Hutzler tries to feed Dayne Johnson some Pom Bear crisps he acquired from us in the front row. He tells Dayne that they have cute little faces and 'teddy balls'  More photos on this makeup demo here



More photos of  these guests  including Juliet without the glasses) here and here .  Georges was a demon on the dance floor at the parties by the way - I bought two of his sketch books and the characters he sketched were just the business!  See here ( here  )




Details of Allan's Q&A & more photos here He will now be forever know to us as 'wee boy' .





Awesome Kane gig where Steve was presented with a replacement guitar by his fans after his was stolen - more pics of the gig are here . Unfortunately Chrisitan wasn't too well and the gig was cut short, he made it to the Convention the next day though.  More Photos of Christian and Steve are here and here .



Keith Szarabajkas brought a couple of scripts that he'd written and we were treated to two read throughs with the other guests playing roles   - It was very enjoyable. More photos of those read throughs are here and here .



Any regular at Starfury events will know what this is all about. We had Brody and Allan both come up during the ceremony too.  whiskyinmind  was the first up of all the attendees (of course) and even returned to the stage as 'back up' more than once ;-) 

So that's that. Most of the guests wanted to see snow when they were here. I'm not sure they did but I know for sure that the snow around us can leave any time it likes, I can't get into town to do Christmas shopping.

Song: Venus in Furs by the Velvet Underground

Type of file: WMV Zipped
Rating: PG13

.Notes: My baby's got me locked up in chains.....Inspired by 'Venus in Furs'   this is a brief musing on the 'preferred torture puppy' and his two mistresses. Let's hope he remembers the safety word.  Anyone with a fear of excessive holy water spillage, finger bending and other such nastiness are hereby warned.   I edited the song greatly otherwise the squeaky violins from hell would have become torture in themselves.

Well we left pretty early to get to Milton Keynes for Collectormania 10 - the whole family in tow (bar the cat of course) - bless 'em - I owe them a Sunday morning lie-in so *hugs* to them for getting up and being so great today. Hubs did great with the pics as usual, the full set will go up on the site probably tomorrow but here are a few teasers now ( straight from the Scum Pits of Ur... )

All in all a good day meeting lots of really great whedonverse actors.
