Singing Along…

athenamuze — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 08:43:00 +0000

Just got back from the first sing-a-long, it was a total blast Thanks to Claude for joining me and a special thanks to my sister for being such a sport while I got to geek out. I also got to talk up BBtL a lot and my nifty shirt got lots of great attention. Too bad I don’t have a different one for tomorrow, maybe I’ll have to come up with something on the fly. Oh yeah, I didn’t do the Buffy-okie tonight, he switched the shows so the one he wants me for is tomorrow night.

I also met a couple of other cool fans and was promised some more How I Got Into Buffy Stories woo hoo! I should have my special interview up tomorrow or so… Stay tuned!

Technical Difficulties!

athenamuze — Sun, 20 May 2007 03:30:00 +0000

I’m sad to say that I’m having some technical difficulties right now so my cast for this week will be delayed. Having a bit of trouble with Libsyn right now but I’m hoping to get it all cleared up by next weekend so I should have something up by then. In the meantime it looks like they’ve changed the name of the cast too, so if it seems to be missing, look for AthenaMuze’s podcast. Hopefully this too will be fixed shortly.

Take a Listen!

athenamuze — Fri, 11 May 2007 12:09:00 +0000

Tabz over at Strangely Literal is dealing with the loss of her cat and so I offered to do the review of The Long Way Home issue #3 in her stead. Please take a moment to listen to the cast and then send her some love.
