Highlights from the Bronze Party:

Tink LOOKS like Tinkerbell. Can you vouch for this Maayan? She looks like the little fairy chick in Disney. It's insane. She's bloody well adorable, and has balls bigger than anyone her size has a right. She conned her way into a Guest All Access Pass using nothing but her charms and long eyelashes. That's MY kinda gal.

Jess and Dak called me conservative. Bitches. Not my fault Jess likes to wear knee high Frankenstien boots with ripped mesh stockings. And Dak with her halter tops. Hmph. Ok, I guess next to them, Tink and I sorta *did* look downright conservative. Ah well, fuck 'em. I GOT TO PET J.A.R.'S HEAD.

Did I mention I got to rub and touch and otherwise fondle Gunn's head? Yes. Yes I did. I had a yen to touch it since I first saw him onscreen. I've had many a bald male freind and I have this weird thing...and...yea. I had no idea he'd let me DO it. But he did. And I have photos. And he didn't even treat me like a weird fangirl. So maybe the conservative dress helped, eh? *wg*

Michelle Trachtenburg is petite, and adorable and looks almost breakable. Surrounded by fans, she looked absolutely petrified, actually, but man, she held her own. She can't weigh more than 80 lb. soaking wet. And her hair? It *really* looks like that.

Allyson Hannigan also weighs in at well less than 100lb. She's so thin her thighs don't meet. She wore a Willow hat, all pink and knit and pulled down over her eyebrows, and at one point, was so overwhelmed by the crowd, that she tossed her hands up in a definite Willowgesture moment, and asked to be led away for a while. She was. Large bodyguard type people. Not to be messed with.

Alexis Denisof looked hot. God save me. But he did. 5:00 shadow and a goatee, and oh so much more loose than last year, when he looked scared that someone was going to bite him at any given moment. This year, he had his girl, he had his facial hair, and he came ready to party.

Joss has very small teeth. He was shnockered the entire night. He did not look happy to be there, and he barely spoke on the stage. He did, however, do a godamn mean funky chicken dance with both the nerds, and Andy Hallett, at one point rubbing pelvises together in a manner which made my slasher heart terribly proud.

Andy Hallet has a voice that would charm the pants off a nun wearing pants. And I want his fucking coat. He does this lounge lizard act that made the audience about wet their own pants. And at random moments scream out, "WE LOVE YOU ANDY!" To which, he inevitably responded, "I love you too baby." No matter who shouted. *g*.

The nerds: I didn't WANT TO like them. I really, really didn't. I was all happy to be pouty in my non-Jamesness, to be content with my Gunn-head-rub and to tilt my nose up in distaste when Adam took the stage with the band called Common Rotation. Then I realized they were good. No, they were *fucking* good. These guys kick ass; their music is original and fresh and godamn funky. Dak, of course, swooned at the pretty guitarist with the messy hair and the ND t-shirt. I was smack dab in front of a little bald dude in sunglasses. At one point, the entire team of nerds came onstage to give the band a hand singing some Joss songs from the musical ep. By that point, I was bloody well smitten. When they got into the Charlie's Angel pose and sang "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", I was working out how to buy their CD before leaving LA. I finally got the chance to tell Adam that he plays a very convincing psychopath. He seemed pleased. Jess was in fucking nerd heaven. I'll let her tell you the evilbumsacigarette story.

Amy Acker is tiny and lovely, and signed my Angel trading card. Fred is still fucking pointless though.

Amber Benson is drop dead gorgeous. No makeup, in sweat clothes, and still, *still* managed to more than hold her own against the bevy of gorgeousness on that stage. And she is the sweetest, most genuine human out of all of them, with the possible exception of JAR. (Did I mention I got to touch his head?)

The guy who plays Groo was there. He's shorter and thinner than he looks on film. And he doesn't appear much brighter than his character.

Most of the male members of the cast danced quite closely and suggestively with one another on stage. Thereby leading Dak to shout "KISS! KISS!" at various moments. Ah, yes, we have corrupted yet another mind. My work here is done.

Joss tried to drag Aly and Michelle in front of a mike to sing, but they refused. Well, they kicked and screamed. They were all quite shlockered. Except for Michelle, I would hope.

We met Drew Greenberg, my new favorite Buffy writer. He penned 'Smashed', for those of you who dunno. I told him he was in obvious need of another Heb to run his fanclub. I was crushed when he said he already HAD a fanclub. Either Jess and I looked terribly cute, terribly pathetic or both, cause he then agreed to sanction ours the "honorary" fanclub, and said he looked forward to seeing it. He also looks just like every one of my relatives.

I could not find Tim to ask wtf was going on with Dork!Angel. I was much bummed.

James was not there, despite numerous false promises and moments when it was assured by several people "in the know" that he was coming. Bleh.

Zero (of jamesmarsters.com fame) is the shibbyest wench I have ever met. I don't know what else to say about her, except that if I had my shit half that together at that stage of my life, well, I wouldn't be me, frankly. *g*. But man, she has guts, glory and presence. And a new stalker, me.

Wanna see the first round of pics? Go here: Bronze
(Ed. Note: This site is eventually gonna house all pics of BPP's past as well as the comic strip made by Dak. Currently, it's just a few Jess took, untweaked and large in size. But terribly amusing nonetheless. Esp. the skeleton dude from pre-party, and the Flash lettuce. Ask Jess.)
