No rest for the weary...

Still working on editing...tis been a crazy two weeks. But a new cast is coming...

In the meantime...if you've not checked out the Justice League Cartoon...please do so. It's a veritable cornucopia of former Whedonites...and darn good too boot.

Undead America Store!

In case you weren't aware...there is an Amazon Undead America Store...I have loaded it with lots of Whedony goodness. If you buy something...or even just search for something specific that you want by starting here and using the search bar...then I get a tiny cut...which helps defray the costs of running this podcast thingamajig...I'm just saying....

New Podcast Equipment??

So I am thinking of purchasing this rig to do some "field" recording at the various conventions this summer. Does anyone have this? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Also, the next episode has been started yall..I hope to finish it up tonight perhaps. I had a grand time re-watching Destiny...so glad everyone recommended it for this episode!

Questions for Episode #027: Twilight, Destiny, & Wild Horses

Okay...here's your chance to get your name on the podcast...Answer these questions and I will read it in the next cast (hopefully happening this weekend).

#1 Reactions to Season 5 Angel Episode "Destiny"...

#2 Designer Imposter: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer...What do you love or hate? Why would a Buffy fan like or hate this book?

#3 Music of the Buffyverse...Wild Horses from "Prom" in Buffy Season Three...any reactions to this scene or song you care to share...this is the moment in the prom episode where Angel shows up in a tux (swoon) and he dances with Buffy at the Prom.

discuss...share..post your comments here or come join the cool kids over at the Undead America section at the SHoE Forums!

Check out one of my other Podcasts!

So once again I cheated on you. I just posted Episode #3 of Wildclaw's Blood Radio...but you buffy fans may approve. We discuss women in horror and there is an interview with vampire fiction novelist L.A. Banks.

Also, I just posted the first podcast for my other theatre company, Strawdog Theatre!

Buffy Tarot up for Preorder!

Lost hundreds of years ago, the Slayer's tarot is an important artifact from Slayer history that came into existence after a group of women shared a vision of a rogue Slayer who would love a vampire and who would be aided in her fight against evil by a group of mystical allies. The heretical prophecy led to the suppression of the deck by the Watcher's Council.

Written and conceived by Rachel Pollack, author of twelve books on the tarot, including the renowned 78 Degrees of Wisdom, she teams with long-time Buffy artist Paul Lee to create this one-of-a-kind tarot card set.

This is a 78-card deck with instruction pamphlet, 88-page softcover book, in reclosable box with magnetic closure

Scheduled to ship in mid-august! SRP $15.99

Looking for more Undead America?

For some unknown reason..only a few episodes will show up on the itunes feed. If you are looking for older episodes, they can be found on http://undeadamerica.libsyn.com. Or you can find them in the my blog archives as well. I am working on making them easier to find...but part of me does not want yall listening to my first endeavors in podcasting...shudder.

Zombie Walk Chicago June 21st, 2008

There will be a Zombie Walk in Downtown Chicago. I will be there with blood on. Everyone should come.

Also at the Flashback Weekend in the following week in June, there will be a Zombie Pinup Beauty Pageant that I am very tempted to enter....

Teaser Trailer for Twilight up...

Yes America...I too am indulging in a little teen girl, escapist, vampire romance, junior-miss fiction. I am about 1/4 into the book and got very excited when I heard they were making a movie starring the dishy Cedric from Harry Potter. And yes I am 32. Shut up!

Joyce Summers...Mom for all Seasons....

With Mother's Day approaching...I thought we should take a second to give a little shout out to Buffy's mom, Joyce Summers...played by the lovely Christine Sutherland.

So here are my favorite Joyce moments:
1. School Hard- Axe wielding mama!
2. Lover's Walk- Marshmellows and hot cocoa with Spike
3. Buffy Vs Dracula- Letting in Dracula...
4. Band Candy- Very Juice Newton
5. Restless- Coming onto Xander...

So what's your favorite Joyce memory? Does your mother watch Buffy?

A little old-school vamp makeup for you....

I am doing the costumes for Collaboraction's Sketchbook '08, a short-play festival opening May 15th at the Steppenwolf Garage and running to June 16th. Here is a fun production still from a video shoot we did on wednesday night. These are two characters from a black and white "Nosferatu" style film. I did the costumes and the makeup. I used both the original Nosferatu and Angel's Prince of Lies for inspiration! Enjoy!

Go See Ironman...and Free Comic Book Day!

First of all...Ironman was AWESOME! I so loved this film and it was a great way to kick off the summer geeky movie-a-thon. Yee haw. Robert Downey Jr. was brilliant. The entire cast was perfect and the whole film just came together in such a marvelous way. I smiled the whole time. Be sure to stay for an extra scene after the credits that was a super sweet bonus.

And it's also that most wonderful time of the year, Free Comic Book Day! Find your local store and pick up a few books for free while taking advantage of the awesome sales and deals in your local store. I walked away with a bedazzled superman shirt and a wonder woman shirt plus lots-o-comic-crack.

It's a good day to be a geek!

Not Buffy...But Awesome Smallville Prop Replicas
