Ha ha ha! I just had a check through the suggest a guest entries on the Enough Rope site and there are SO MANY "Joss" requests - its fantastic! Here's hoping the ABC pay attention! Joss is way out in front in number of requests, (good job browncoats!!!) but whats the deal with all the Gavin Rossdale requests?? he's the guy from "Bush" right?? Magda Szubanski's popular too - gotta love Magda!

Have a great day Aussie Browncoats!

Oooh! Mangoes!

wow! we are up to 27!!
And someone at the website has added a bit of someones entry about Joss just under the "suggest a guest" in the menu. So now on nearly every page it has:

Great work!

Hey! Thats my quote!
Damn Ive just given away my alias by admitting to my real name... no stalkers please!

Here's my full submission:
Joss Whedon
Comments: Because he is the smart, hilarious, touching, brilliant, witty, inspired, generous, humble, talented, intelligent, gracious, side-splittingly funny hero to millions of geeks the world over (and many non-geeks!) and soon to take over the world when his directorial debut "Serenity" hits the screens in April 2005. Take notice Enough Rope, Joss Whedon could talk about belly button fluff and it would still be a fascinating conversation!



Oooh! Mangoes!

I remember reading that submission and laughing. How can Mr. Denton pass up on this oppurtunity when there are literally thousands of Australians dying to know more about our beloved creator of ....... goodlyness.

Well the beginning of that quote is on nearly all the Enough Rope pages. I bet they read it and thought, wow... heaps of people want to see Joss!
I think they noticed us!

Hi guys Brisbane here. Converted 7 so far and 3 in progress.
RE:The Martin Place idea: I think we need to be carefull how we might be perceived by those not in love with Joss's work..YET! and taint the quilty of the series with our actions using cards with inapproate messages, messages on buildings with spray cans etc will NOT endear us to the powers that be and may be used as an excuse to NOT show the show or anything to do with it.
I think we need to be out there doing stuff just to be carefull how we do it.
I'm just as excited about this show as the rest of you.

Sydney only has 2 members so far on meetup.com. Come on, we're the largest city in Australia for goodness sake! (Aren't we? LOL My American roots are showing...)

Great to see this thread is still alive and kicking, go Aussies! I'm off to join the Sydney meet up thingy, hoping it livens up soon.

Yep that's him.

We're the largest city, but not the largest state.
Thinks....

I better make me a t-shirt too!

Hi everyone... BUMP!

Question - did any of the Aussie Meetup groups have a meetup on Saturday (the default day for the October Meetups)? Particularly Perth - I saw you had a few RSVPs - did you decide to go ahead with it anyway?

I'm really glad to see that most if not all of the Firefly groups have gained another few members each.

I'm also here to remind Melbournians to ensure they are signed up at http://firefly.meetup.com/161/ because the Melbourne group is meeting this coming Sunday October 10th and we'd love to see as many people there as possible... we already have several RSVPs, so please come along and join us!

I'd also like to remind those who haven't already to please go to the Enough Rope website http://www2b.abc.net.au/enoughrope/suggestaguest/ and suggest Joss as a guest for Denton's next season...

'Yes... this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "this land".' 'I think we should call it your grave.' 'Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!'

Another Melburnian fan here! I've joined the meetup.com group, hopefully in time for this weekend.

Am in the process of converting a friend - I lent him the DVDs 2 weeks ago & he's watched 4 eps, and is loving it so far. Then they go to my sisters, one of whom is a Buffy/Angel fan, the other loathes them, but watches other fantasy/science fiction shows, so I'm interested to see what their reactions will be.

But I need some real life people to talk to about eps - I'm no good with the message boards cos I can never think of what to say.
