My wife is a personal assistance at many of the Sci-Fi and Horror
conventions around North America. We had an "Angel" screening party at my
house last night.....31 people who make Trekkers look 'cool'. I watched both
Buffy and Angel as a means to try and involve myself with my wife's
interests....but things like this and the convention push my tolerance for
geekdom. Good people mind you....just way over the top with the obsessive
fandom stuff. Unlike, you know, my power pop obsessiveness :-)
At any rate, I've seen Ghost Of The Robot....my wife has all the recordings
and I must say I've been less than impressed. Marsters really needs some
vocal lessons. The band made him stop playing guitar to focus on his
singing, but it hasn't helped.
A few of the other Buffy cast members have better bands (including Seth
Green) and I encourage people to investigate those...
