I must be getting old. I think I like this site more for the geek aspect than the nekkid girls. Well sometimes, anyway. I still have my favorite nekkid girls.
But this weekend I had a moment of geek nirvana. And it was unexpected as well. I was supposed to go to a play on Saturday night, but the friend I was taking was late and they closed the doors and wouldn't let anyone in after the play started. Cut to angry, disappointed me.
With nowhere else to go we went to a bar where we had an odd conversation with a guy who was an interior designer and told us that he was guy about every seven seconds and kept dissecting our personal appearance, as if it was his duty as a gay man. He then told us that he could guess our ages. To my surprise he got mine exactly right, but then he looked my friend up and down and declared her to be 31. She was 22. She was thrilled.
We then headed over to another friend's birthday party. The bar was crowded, noisy and oppressively hip. I was about to call it a night when I get a call from my friend Noreen saying she had an extra ticket to a screening of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer musical episode at the IFC Theater on 6th Ave. I literally ran out of the bar and made it to the screening just in time. The line stretched around the block and most people were in costume. I got in line right behind a "Xander" and some sort of demon and listened to them discuss the pros and (many) cons of "Dawn". Perfect. I looked around for Noreen.
Now lemme tell you something about Noreen. Noreen is only 5 foot 2 but she's the most fearsome person I know. She's an Assistant Director on films and movies, in charge of running the set and making things work on time. EVERYBODY is afraid of Noreen. Everybody. I've seen her stare down Russell Crowe and Jim Gandolfini readily admits that he wouldn't fuck with her. She has a perpetual scowl, she cuts people to ribbons. I've known her for 10 years or so and I don't think I've ever seen her eat. She just smokes and drinks Diet Coke.
So please imagine my surprise when Noreen came to meet me in line with a Mutant Enemy finger puppet yelling "Grrr! Arrrg!" (which Buffyphiles will understand) and grinning ear to ear. Miracles are possible after all.
We were lead into the theater where there were fan montages of Buffy episodes being shown. People dressed as characters danced in the isles. A fat guy with glasses who called himself "Giles" was leading people in "Buffyoki" and audience members acted out scenes from the show. It was madness and I loved it. They finally showed the episode and the entire audience sang along. Of course. And cheered Spike and booed Dawn. Good fun.
Afterwards Noreen actually hugged me and I noticed a bit of a skip in her step as we parted.
Ya think you know someone.

Hey I'v met russel crow and I live in the same town as he does. His brother is kinda loopy. If russ is put of by Noreen than she must be one tuff chick! I'm sure he secretly admires her and wants to bonk her.
I'm green with envy I'm such a huge buffy fan this sounds fantastic.
