#1 - Dr. Horrible Wins an Emmy
As it should. Plus, there was an awesome appearance by the cast of Dr. Horrible, too. Good times.
#2 - New York Comic Con 2009
Oh boy, was this a bit of craziness mixed with amazing. It was out first year covering the convention and we got to interview Super Scott Allie, the Amazing Brian Lynch and Buffy's own Amber Benson. We also heard Joss speak and I was inappropriately touched by a blind man, but that's a story for another day.
#3 - Buffyfest 2009
It was the year of the Guerilla Drive-in. We thought we might get arrested or at least a little harassed, but alas, it went off without a hitch.
#4 - "Don't Spuff 'til You Spuff Enough"
Words can't properly express how we feel about this song. In truth, it's really the anthem of our year and the pride of our blog.
#5 - Angel's 10 Year Anniversary in Los Angeles
What's more fun than Buffyfest all together in the same room? It's when Buffyfest are all together in the same room that also happens to be the courtyard of the Hyperion Hotel.
#6 - Dollhouse
It was the little engine that could and against all odds, Dollhouse made it to a 2nd and final season with awesome guest appearances by quite a few Whedon alum.
#7- Can't Stop the Serenity Charity Screenings
There's always reason to celebrate charitable giving, especially this amazing group and their determination to help stop Human Rights abuse around the world. As proud sponsors of this year's event, we're happy to report that they had a record breaking year in '09!
#8 - Buffy Season 8 Motion Comic
We still have no idea what this will entail, but it's Buffy and she'll be moving her arms and legs and words will be coming out of her mouth, so this is absolutely a cause for celebration.
#9 - Twilight
A year later we're still asking, "Who the hell is this guy?", but it's finally inching a bit closer to one of the most exciting reveals in the Buffyverse.
#10 - The Buffy High School Reunion
It was a fun-filled two nights in NYC with an extra special Spike performance by our very own Bitsy.
We'd also like to add a very special thanks to the Guest Bloggers we've had throughout the year. We were lucky enough to get some amazing peeps to take over the posting reigns for a bit. A huge heap of gratitude goes out to JayUnderscoreZero (here and here), InyRules, Steph, Danner, Heidi, and Heroine_TV (Part I and Part II).
It has been a very good year for Whedon fans, I think. Hopefully the New Year will bring even more fun and goodies for us. Dr. Horrible sequel, anyone?
ReplyDeleteI personally enjoyed the episode tournament. Lot of fun that spawned some good debates which is always a plus:) Hope you rock another one in 2010!
ReplyDelete2009 was my first year as a Whedon fan, so I'd call it a GREAT year! My roomie and I were actually so enthralled by the season 2 finale of Buffy, that we didn't realize midnight had passed and 2009 had begun!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered a Serenity viewing in a city near me this summer 2010, and I can't wait!!
Thanks for a great year of blogging Buffyfest!!
ReplyDeleteI cant believe I have only recently discovered this fantastic blog. Great job, guys! I always enjoy reading your posts. And yes, in agreement, it has been a great year for us Whedonites! Even with the fandom all in a scattered fit thanks to the monutentally awful premature Twilight reveal, were still going strong! Thanks Buffyfest blog for keeping with all things Whedon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky, Sarah, Harvin, mbatz, heroine_tv and to everyone who read our blog in 2009! To all the new Buffyfest readers, happy to have you on board for 2010! :)
