Am I the only one who wishes G3 LesPaul would stop with his sly, wink-wink-nudge-nudge hint-dropping on the Herzeleid forums? Couch your l33t insider knowledge as standard fannish speculation and stop fishing for fan cred by claiming to "know someone." His l33t knowledge hasn't proven very reliable, in any case, and he only seems to have succeeded in impressing and stirring up the excitable Sirkorn, who's started baying for a Florida date on the "best-of" tour he's suddenly sure is coming this to the States this fall or early next year because G3 Lespaul said it was.
I've started watching Are You Afraid of the Dark? reruns on Youtube. This was a cheesy, fun, tween spook anthology show on Nickelodeon from 1991 to 1994, and I ate it up with a spoon back then. It wasn't terrifying, but it was good for the occasional frisson of unease or a brief case of the creeps. Apparently, it was released on DVD in 2006, well before I had the means to use Amazon, and it's since gone out of print. I looked into buying it from a third-party seller, but the first season is going for nearly three hundred dollars, and that's too rich for a scrap of teenage nostalgia. I thought about checking Ebay, but it no longer accepts any forms of payment other than Paypal and the occasional credit card, and I'll be damned if I'm setting up a Paypal account just to bid on a set of DVDs for a dead tweener spook show. Still, watching it brings back memories of sitting in the queer, wan light of the television and watching G-rated horror on Friday or Saturday night.
