Event and Ticket information
- The Buffy Sing Along is back! It’s been a couple of years since you’ve had the chance to sing and dance with the best episode of television ever (that is, unless you’ve been lucky enough to get into a screening at a convention somewhere), but finally you can do it again. You lucky dogs in Houston, Texas get a one time chance to catch the show in all it’s glory - at an amazing outdoor screening that can accommodate up to 3000 people!
- If you don’t live in Houston this is serious road trip fodder, because the one and only AMBER BENSON will be there in person. You can purchase tickets to a special meet and greet reception, and Amber will be doing a live Buffy-oke challenge with one lucky member of the audience.
- This special event brings up another important question that I am often asked: “When are you bringing the Buffy Sing Along back to (wherever)”? The answer is, I am sad to say, pretty much never. But that just means that we are no longer doing them. The door, nay, the floodgates are now open for YOU, dear fans, to THROW YOUR OWN SING ALONGS!
- Now, you can’t do the shows quite like we did - in theatres and for admission. But you can purchase the rights to use Once More With Feeling in a non-theatrical venue and for benefit fund raising purposes. Find your favorite local charity, contact Criterion Pictures USA (you have to pester them a bit, they can be slow responders), and make it happen in your town.
- Also, I welcome anyone who is arranging their own charity screening to email me (buffysingalong@gmail.com) and I will send you all the details on what goes in the goody bags and where to get it and how to plan your event. Heck, I’ll even come host (or help hook you up with a good host) if you would like. The only thing I can’t do at this point is make it happen for you.
- Go forth, sing along fans! Don’t let the dream die! Keep Once More With Feeling alive and singing in your community!!!!

Greetings, classmates. Can you believe that ten years have passed since we last walked the hallowed halls of our beloved high school? True, we blew up those same halls on Graduation Day and bonded together to battle a giant snake, but who among us doesn’t look back in fondness at those glory days of Sunnydale High?
Just announced:
May 8 & 9 at midnight
May 29 & 30 at midnight
So, I’ve been devouring each issue of the Buffy Season 8 comics as fast as they have been coming out. Some non-comic reading Buffy fans have told me that they can’t really get into it because comics read so differently. I understand that, but if you are one of those people, you should really try reading them in the longer graphic novel format. Season 8 has seriously had some of the finest writing in the entire Buffyverse, and you really shouldn’t miss out. Start with the first collection,
By the way, is it just me, or are other Buffy fans just sick to death of the Twilight hype. Yeah, I’m not a fan. Compared to the show we know and love it just seems like a really shallow imitation. Of course, author Stepenie Meyer has stated that “I have never seen an entire episode of Buffy or Angel”, so I’m not saying that she ripped anything off. It’s not like the idea of mixing vampires and romance is exclusively Buffy territory (see Lost Boys or Dark Shadows or all those silly Anne Rice novels for precedents). However, it just seems neglectful to purposefully ignore something as iconic as Buffy if you’re going to write contemporary vampire teen fiction. I understand that Meyer probably didn’t want it to influence her own work (and her veiled religious agenda, of which I am also not a fan), but in my humble opinion…Twilight could have used a bit of influencing. But at least she didn’t try to include a slayer in the mix. That IS exclusively Buffy territory!
It’s officially happening!
