- Hey! Jeff's (Stacy, not Pruitt) is Ultra-Chronic Monstah! That's actually not horrid. He calls himself "Turbo Jeff Stacy" from time to time... (Hence the "Turbo Mix" on the "Warm" CD)
vampire_angel01 Thank you very much! =) You should check out our site! www.velvetchain.com Pictures, video, song clips, mp3s...
AjO:Don't worry, I knew what you meant! ;-)

- Sorry about the dropped tag...
John King: Hey! Hi! *Ahem* So....the new CD is pretty damn cool, you know...and this one song in particular has a pretty amazing Buffy and/or Angel vibe...hmmmmmmmmmmmm....just puttin' it out there. LOL! J/K! You going to the PBP? =)

(Wed Feb 9 21:04:26 2000 209.244.75.105)
- Thoin: Nope...I wish we were, but we don't have any backing for another tour. Yet.
musicbuff: It will probably be available at Tower, but it will be a fairly limited release (translation: crappy distribution), so I'd just get it through the site.
Shadowslayer: See above.
AjO:,/b> I know! I'll see you there!
vampire_angel01 Yes, I am. Hi. (But I'm leaving...)
Alpy: Ack! Sorry. Thanks for the sympathy!

- Sita! I'm leaving, girl! Bad timing...and yes, it's my butt again. Gettin' sore. lol
Thoin: LOL. I can relate. I was just joshin', anyway. But do try at Tower. =)
Carita: Yeah! The mugs are really cool! And the t-shirts, too. Let me know. And what the %@#! is a wu name???
Dakota: Hi back!
Slave2Faith: Ouch! Lame. But I still think I'm an idiot.

Merlin...: LOL
SusieQ: Thanks.
LilBufBuf: YAY!!!!! And I'm #0, what a cool thing! hehehehe
AngelLove: I haven't been forwarded any orders today, so if your came in yesterday or earlier, it already went out in the mail, and you should get it really soon! =)
Thoin: Yes, I scrolled and saw that story last time! lol (I drive a stick...maybe I shouldn't?)
Carita: Well...I still think I am, but thanks.
Shadowslayer: March! Be ready!
Angus: Nope, I think he just plyaes guitar. but I may be completely wrong about that!
Arielle: It's so lame. =( But I'll manage. =)
I should get going...

- 4Paws: Ick! I'm sorry to hear that. =(
Thoin: Well, "The Buffy EP" - a 6 song CD we put out around the same time as the soundtrack CD - is available at most Tower Records and borders Books and Music stores. Our other CD, "Warm," is much harder to find, unfortunately. Hey, why don't you get a money order and buy BOTH CD's and maybe a t-shirt and a mug, so the dollar amount will be higher! LOL!
musicbuff: March! =)
clover: Yay! =) I'm so glad. I can't wait to sing for you guys!
Carita: I don't know! Probably the Buffy EP, since your contest is Buffy-elated, don't you think?
devil: No! Your timing is bad. =( We're playing on Feb 26th and then we're having our CD release party on March 26th, and that's it until April.
Hi, Slave2Faith!

- Hi, Kiera & Labrynth!
Shadowslayer: I'm fine, thanks. Really. It's just a hassle I didn't need.
Drubie: Thank you! =) You should check out our other songs. ;-)
SusieQ: I cracked up my car backing out of a parking spot at my work, like a big MORON. Grrrrrrrr
Angus:Why, thank you! (Ummm...do any of the other sing? lol)

- Arielle: Thanks for asking! It's still a cracked-up piece of garbage. =( But I'm bringing it in to the bodyshop tomorrow, and hopefully it will be fixed in a couple of weeks. The only problem right now is that I'm not covered for a rental car, and I'm having a hard time finding a "spare" car I can borrow. *sigh*
Hi,Drubie & AngelLove! I'm doing OK. How are you guys? =)

- KAM - I AM Jewish. (Very Reformed)
KAM I AM...? What is this, Dr. Seuss?

(Wed Feb 9 12:15:04 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Only if I can watch, Carrie.
Ugh, I'm such a guy, aren't I?
^
- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 12:11:13 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Okay, nice people. I'm gone. Must live my life now (such as it is.) Happy most of you dug TIIT. (I worry about that acronym.)
Anyway, Peace Out.

- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 12:06:18 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Informant - It's being scripted as we speak by the wonderful Marti Noxon. (Running out of glowing adjectives for the other writers)
^
- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 12:04:54 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Cynster - That would be the Talented Mr. Petrie. (Doug to his friends and co-workers).
^
- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 12:03:12 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Circe - Allegorically speaking, don't mother's have a deep rooted sexual connection to their handsome strapping sons. (I know, you're all probably "ewwwwing" out there, but lots of plays, books and movies will back me up on this.) If you chose to believe she was jealous of Buffy from a romantic stand-point, doesn't bother me none. Whichever the case, it's moot now.

- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:59:15 2000 205.188.193.51)
- AjO - His skills are fading with time, as would an actual soldier who hadn't kept up his training. However, once in a while a spark of memory or talent can provide helpful info.
^
- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:56:33 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Krysten - It was just a visually interesting way to introduce B/R's lovemaking. Any symbolism is in the eye of the beholder.
^
- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:54:17 2000 205.188.193.51)
- KAM - Will's a Reform Jew. A very Reform Jew. And she's wiccan, so she can pray to whomever she wants. Doesn't take away from her Jewish heritage.

- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:49:11 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Dalia - I've posted this before, I'll post it again. Angel and Kate will never be together.
^
- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:43:21 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Narrator - What, the "much nekked, lotsa gay BUFFY" wasn't enough for you?
^
- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:41:14 2000 205.188.193.51)
- elusio - You didn't mind GO FISH that much? Stop with the praising. I'm blushing over here. *g*

- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:35:36 2000 205.188.193.51)
- vampire_angel01 - Actually came close to appearing in my ANGEL ep. "Parting Gifts" as one of the producers auditioning Cordy. (But I hate to take a job away from a working actor, so I begged off.)
Also, if you look very carefully in HUSH, I'm one of the students sitting in Walsh's lecture hall during the opening dream sequence. I've got my hand up on my face. In fact, most of the writing staff is in the scene.

- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:30:23 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Spoil
Narrator: Oz isn't evil either. Nor was Jenny Calendar. You people have an odd definition of "evil."
Unless you're referring to Ty King.

- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:28:13 2000 205.188.193.51)
- I didn't write "Beer Bad." That would be the lovely and talented Tracey Forbes. Sorry you didn't care for it, but your reaction reminds me of some fan reactions to "Go Fish," my first ep. Both GF and BB were meant to be frivilous fun eps. that purposely diverged from the series arc to, in effect, cleanse the pallet before some of the heavier stuff (like "Wild At Heart.")
It's a difficult thing to pull off. Hey, they can't all be Whedon-brilliant, you know. *g*

- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:22:28 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Tara's not sad. Just painfully shy, and with a damaged self-esteem. Nowhere to go but up with the girl.
^
- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:20:54 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Okay... Real story is next season will find our guys going through some interesting changes. Tune in then.
^
- Fury says:
(Wed Feb 9 11:19:51 2000 205.188.193.51)
- Xander and Giles will fall under an evil spell fusing them together into a new character: Xangi!
Xangi will also be unemployed and sepnd most of his scenes sitting on the couch, but we're very excited about him.

(Wed Feb 9 11:16:41 2000 205.188.193.169)
- SPOILER BLAH BLAH BLAH
Yes. Walrus most definitely eeeevil! (As are most sea mammels.)

- Alright then. I'm gonna crash now. I hope we all learned something here.
1) stunts rule for without stunts there goeth nothing before thee but the wailing and gnashing of teeth (without any violence)
2) without stuntfighting Buffy would only be people talking out there differences without any dust involved or pointy objects
3) without stunts the show would just be called, BUFFY: THE REGULAR GIRL. (or Felicity vs. the mean people)
So there.
Good night to all.

- Mark - I know that Joss mentioned going to England once. Something about the HUGE expense put a stop to that. I'd love to see that. The WB should just give him all of the money they allocate for those other angst dramas and let him use their budgets on BUFFY. It should be an all buffy network anyway. It's the only thing on tv worth typing over.

(Wed Feb 9 01:21:28 2000 169.132.153.29)
- Okay... I gotta go. No use waiting up for little blonde vamp-stabber. I'm going to pull all covers onto MY side of the bed. hehe Yeah. That'll teach her to stay out so late. God. I am so the man. In a boyish way.
I think that I'll bring my copy of "Catcher in the Rye" to work tomorrow. Just so no one will mistake me for a sane person.

- Pilgim - I think she eats ferrets and mongoose with cheese when she's in a non-training resting state.
I did notice that she had a nutra bar sitting in her chair today. Good for her. I hope she ate it.

Hey! How'd I know you were a sir?

(Wed Feb 9 01:08:31 2000 169.132.153.29)
- Brad Grenz - I wonder what would happen if they opted ofr other non-lethal weapons? How about the glue guns? They shoot out a huge spray of glue over the suspect to stop him in his tracks. Of course then a glue gun fight would be pretty ugly. And what if Buffy tried to kicki somebody hwo had just been glued? Hmmm
Okay then. Water Cannons. Paint balls to the face. Slow-mo hair pull?

(Wed Feb 9 01:02:47 2000 169.132.153.29)
- Claris - Yes I did get those b'day greetings and please thank everyone for me.
I'm the kind of guy who would drop a ferret into a guy's bathtub. As seen in THE BIG LABOWSKI.
I did witness a ferret attack in real life once. So quick those buggers are. A grown man squealed like a banshee over that one.

(Wed Feb 9 00:58:57 2000 169.132.153.29)
- Mark - I'm just waiting for that kicky/punchy chick to come home. I don't think I can hang much longer. I feel like the Sub Mariner out of water for too long.
I think I need a good sandwich and a fine beverage.

- Jeff Pruitt says:
(Wed Feb 9 00:55:44 2000 169.132.153.29)
- KrazyKat - I think you're on to something.
If they are out to get you but you don't know it, is it still paranoia or just common sense?
And if Buffy and Riley did have a baby, would it be more like say ... Jonathan or Anya?
These are the thoughts running through my ... y'know, like head.
^
- Jeff Pruitt says:
(Wed Feb 9 00:50:08 2000 169.132.153.29)
- Note to self: * give color code to Blucas. Receive kick to nuts from Fury. Leave cheesecake outside Sarah's trailer. Wash those stinking pads.
Okay. Now I'm officially in the LOSER mode.
^
- Jeff Pruitt says:
(Wed Feb 9 00:47:12 2000 169.132.153.29)
- Don't worry. When I see him I'm going to make sure that he gets the codes so you guys can talk to him. I think he's just been laying low to check on the Riley response. Not many actors have stopped by (only writers and loudmouthed stunt coordinators) I'll bet a lot of folks would love to talk to him.
Just think back to the days of "Who is this Oz guy anyway? He'd better not make a move on Willow." Does anyone recall that?
^
- Jeff Pruitt says:
(Wed Feb 9 00:43:20 2000 169.132.153.29)
- DeMoriel - In that case I'm the one who was overwhelmed. I never even saw it. He did where knee and elbow pads while performing the end of a Riley stunt that you'll see on your friendly WB stations next Tuesday.
The room just feels nicer that Marc was here. No really. He's really nice. I'm not just doing publicity hype here. He really is. Really.
^
- Jeff Pruitt says:
(Wed Feb 9 00:39:51 2000 169.132.153.29)
- I kind of think that maybe Marc was overwhelmed by the response.
^
- Jeff Pruitt says:
(Wed Feb 9 00:37:35 2000 169.132.153.29)
- I'll have to check and see if that was really Marc or not. I think it was. He had told me that he didn't know how to use color yet. Then again he didn't answer my question either. Fury seemed to think it was him though.
It sounded like him. I know that he lurks. Maybe I'll see him Thursday.
notXG - Thanks.

- Jeff Pruitt says:
(Wed Feb 9 00:25:17 2000 169.132.153.29)
- Getting sleepy ... but must remain awake. I'm just waiting for Sophia to get home. She's busy working on another show (that I can't name here) doing things (that I can't talk about yet)
I'll just be glad when she's back. Doesn't she understand the LOSER hours concept? The insane ones arrive. I shouldn't be alone too long.

(Wed Feb 9 00:21:08 2000 169.132.153.29)
- Krazy Kat - I did use two 50 ton cranes a distance of 400 feet apart. The actual double travel rig is one that I designed and built in my garage the weekend before the shoot. I used the standard up & down cable rig and a forward and reverse loop set to an electric wench. One of my stunt guys controlled the up and down to try to keep the guys from flying too high off the ground or sinking too low.
redsun - Mazda good.

- Jeff Pruitt says:
(Wed Feb 9 00:15:51 2000 169.132.153.29)
- Sorry I harp on the whole stunt issue so much. But what has happened in Hollywood is that Stunt Performers have becaome bargaining chips to SAG (our Union) I think a part of this is due to the fact that we get zero recognition for our work.
There used to be a saying many years ago that studio execs were always afraid of writers getting too much credit. That's why they were treated so shabbily. The studio bosses always felt that if the writers ever got to produce and direct that they'd be more in the drivers seat. That has happened in television. A lot of writers are creator/producers and have a huge say (not to mention salary) The "created by" credit is the one to have now.
Only one stuntman gets to call his shots right now. That's Jackie. He's the only star that harkens back to the day of my heroes like Douglas Fairbanks. Stunt actors. Now we only have actors who claim to do stunts, but can't. And stunt people who have to pretend not to exist in order to keep working.

- Nazguls - Yep. Marc does the kip-up thing and so does James. Soon everyone will be doing it. It'll be a craze. Like, instead of drinking after seeing a bra strap (the way they used to in 2nd season) they'll have to throw kip-ups. Kip-ups could be an exercise video.
