Nathan Torkington sent the following bits through the ether: ... I wonder how hard it would be to get Faith or Charisma Carpenter or one of those other minor characters to do a meet'n'greet at TPC. I suspect they're hard to dislodge from LA, but it might still be worth a try[1]. I'm tracking down their agents now. What a totally excellent idea. The costume designer for Buffy was at the ICA on the last day of yapc::Europe last year. Unplanned, but rather weird and neat anyway ;-) This now sets a standard for this year's conference to beat...

Despite the fact I won't actually be there. Whilst we're (kinda) on the topic, can I have a reminder of who's going to yapc. I'm still umm-ing and ahh-ing over whther I can afford it (us phud students suffer for our science). L. Never argue with a biologist.

Not sure what Charisma's doing outside of the Whedon Axis. She was supposed to be in a film called The Twins but that was supposed to have finished shooting in 2000 and nothings been seen of it since the early details. Does any one know if ORA will be selling a compilation of the papers again after this conference?
