Hey HarlTheMad, if this system were a pyramid scheme, which colour robe would you be up to? Blue? How many have you turned? And the rest is food? By the Way I'm talking about the episode of Angel, ummmm... "Disharmony" Season 2.

I've already suggested Joss to Enough Rope (admittedly, only after someone suggested it on the Serenity boards...) Having to limit the 'why' to only 50 words is hard, though!
Harl, thanks for joining us! I don't know what level/colour you'd be at, but you'd have to be high up! LOL. :D

I'm still pretty new to Australia so I gotta ask - what's Enough Rope?
Oh, and as a stay-at-home mom who knows practically nobody and can't convince her husband (yet!) to watch Firefly, anyone from Sydney want to meet up for the movie? *Willow-type impression* Cus, ya know, that would be cool.
I dunno if it's been done already in Aus but even if it's one I can't make it too, like in Melbourne or Brisbane or somewhere, we really should have some sort of meet.

Good to see Ozzy Browncoats still trickling through, everyone keep speaking up and spreading the good word.
To JenDandy, YoungSpirit and I are trying to organise a Shindig down in Melbourne, but so far no one has spoken up and shown any interest. Shour Out LOUD people, let's share our love of that wonderful crew and embrace your inner geek. Although, I don't consider watching Joss Whedon shows to be that geeky, in the Star Trek sort oof sense. I actually found a great many people in the Arts Faculty of my uni who were Fans, and they aren't geeks, just intelectuals, like me 
By the way JenDandy, as BeyondCompelled mentioned, Enough Rope is a show broadcast on the ABC on Monday nights. It is an interview show hosted by the very witty Andrew Denton (who has been in the biz for yonks). The difference between Enough Rope and other talk shows it is uninterupted and Ad free, and it is extremely informative and intelligent. His interview with Mel Brooks was amazing.
Well enough rambling.

Glad you elaborated on the coat thing - I'm not really a fan of either Angel or Buffy (seen a few episodes of each though), and before all of you rise up and burn me at the stake, I'll say that I nevertheless think that they're both two really good, thoughtful shows, just not my cup of tea is all.
That and there's a man hanging out of a spaceship with a really big gun pointed at you all, so no lynching now.
Andrew Denton's prolly Australia's best interviewer, he has a way of drawing people he interviews in and drilling down to core issues close to their heart. He does it through humour and wit, and a lot of people watch his show because they're intelligent interviews, no fluff or pretensions. Monday nights 9:30 on ABC (channel 2) - have a look at the website at some of the transcripts, they're really interesting.

I'm from Florida originally but I'm a permenant resident in Australia now, which means I can do everything you lot do except for vote. I can apply for citizenship in a few years I think.
I'll look at Andrew Denton's transcripts and maybe check out a show or two sometime. What are the chances he would interview Joss Whedon?

I think kinda high, he doesn't aim for big shot kinda people, just the really interesting ones, and I think once he spiels Joss' background a bit, people will sorta go "Oh, THAT guy", and even if they don't, I think Joss is so heady that he could gargle honey and it'd sound interesting. And think of the sympathy he'd stir up from your average aussie when he lets on how much of a fight he had to put up with Fox, knowing how much the Aussie psyche is all about the underdog. It'd be a boon for publicity, and hey, if Australia supported it that much, maybe Joss could move the production to Fox Studios Sydney!
Wait a minute - Hmmmmm!!! I really like this idea! I'm thinking Farscape, Matrix, Space Above and Beyond, Star Wars - it's right up our alley!
Hey Joss! Come down here, we'd film it for ya!
