Starting this Friday, 6/22, The Cerrito Theatre welcomes customers 18 and over on weeknights. So tell your young friends who have been wanting to join you at Buffy and Firefly nights to come on down to El Cerrito for some Whedonistic fun!
We will start the evening off with the sing-a-long "Once More with Feeling" and then enjoy a double feature of "Something Blue" and "Intervention." Both episodes have the Scoobies confused (and revolted) when they think Buffy is going out with Spike... but is she?
And don't forget to study up on Spike and Buffy and show up early for the very Spuffy trivia test and BUFFY BINGO!!!. There will be free admission tickets from the theater and comicky goodness from Stand Up Comics for the winners.
Spike 'n' Buffy 4- Evah!

Spuffy Trivia

We will be showing the real 2 hour pilot, "Serenity", parts 1 &2, and then the faux/Fox pilot, "The Train Job"
In fitting with the "pilot" theme, come dressed as Serenity's lovable pilot, Wash (Hawaiian shirt or a jumpsuit if you have one), and be ready for Wash trivia. (For those of you still reeling from the pop quiz at the Buffy prom last month: don't worry this should be much easier.)
