BUFFYFEST 2010 (and so much more!) at NEW ENGLAND COMIC CON!

The yearly takeover of Hynes Convention Center by New England Comic Con is going to be drawing far more than just us comic geeks this year. The three-day nerdapalooza, which starts this Friday, is hosting several generations' worth of TV's most-beloved heroes and villains, including SEVEN MEMBERS of the cast of Joss Whedon's masterful BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER! My inner fanboy is beyond elated at the thought of being in the same room as XANDER, SPIKE, CORDELIA, HARMONY, TARA, THE MASTER and GLORY all at once, SMG and Boreanaz be damned.

If you are a Buffyphobe or just need more convincing, I have five words for you: Adam West and Burt Ward. BATMAN AND ROBIN! They of the anti-shark-repellant-spray! THE MAYOR OF FUCKING QUAHOG AND HIS BOY WARD!!!

There. I'm sure by now you're already purchasing tickets. And in case it's too expensive, maybe you can ask STEVE AUSTIN, aka THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, aka LEE MAJORS, if he still has access to the kinda cash necessary to float you... That or ask that BARACK OBAMA guy for one of those loans he's always handing out, since he's appearing at a rally in the same building as all of these people on Saturday.... I know, wtf, right?
