The final Sunnydale High School Reunion was held at Galapagos in Brooklyn on Wednesday night (part 1 here) and I'm not exaggerating when I tell you this space was so much like the Bronze. The dark lighting, the balcony and the 90's music almost made me wonder if Angel was skulking in the shadows somewhere (I wish).

The night's great fun included "Bloody Mary" drink specials, trivia, the awesome Buffy Season 1-3 movie trailers, "Buffyoke",  and the biggest surprise of the night - The Buffy "Once More with Feeling" Sing-along! That's right folks, the 200-plus in attendance were given the gift of the musical. Even cooler, our very own Bitsy graced the stage as Spike, blond hair and all. It was very surreal and ironic. There were the usual "Shut up, Dawn" moments, but the funniest part was when the actress playing Dawn came out towards the end of the episode wearing Michelle's "Buffy Loves Angel" t-shirt. That got a few in the crowd fired up.

There were some great prizes given out, too. One special guest recieved a real Class Protector award made by our lovely Tara (which was especially hilarious given it was a dude who now owns a pink and gold sparkly umbrella). Another group recieved a gift bag filled with Buffy books, comics and other goodies. All in all, a fun Buffy-filled night.

Here's a video showing some highlights of the night. They showed the fantastic fan-made Buffy trailers of the first 3 seasons, you know the ones. You'll also see below a clip of the "Buffyoke", Trivia winners, and of course, our very own Bits - doin' the Spuffy.

Last Night's Sunnydale HS Reunion (Pt. 1 - Back to High School Edition)

The Sunnydale HS Reunion last night at the JCC in NYC was a good, late 90's time! Met a lot of great Whedonverse fans. Don't want to give too many details away as there is still another event next week, but there was definitely a cool surprise or 2!

Upon arrival, you received a randomized Sunnydale Alum name and that was your name tag for the evening (photo at right). This came in to play later on during Trivia and stuff. There was trivia all night long and at the end the winning team received a box of stuff to hold a Buffy Sing-Along enough for 70 people! Also included in that prize box was a bunch of Whedonverse books and other loot. Fun!

Don't forget the "Bronze Edition" at Galapagos in DUMBO will be next Wednesday, June 4th. Have a feeling that event will be a lot crazier, since not only will there be booze involved, but it got a full page write up in this week's Time Out New York! Check that out here and here. If you want to attend, it might be best to reserve tix just in case. Go here for the full scoop on that.
