Some of the local media turned out to take pictures and get quotes, should be on the local news shows tonight, and there will be stories in the New Mexican, maybe the Albuquerque Journal as well. It was great to show New Mexicans that there were people right here that are affected by the strike, and I got to meet some fine people while trying to not slip on the icy street.</p> <p>My WGA contact said there should be more pickets set up if the strike continues, right here in New Mexico.</p> There was a WGA picket at the on-campus studio at the College of Santa Fe this morning!

My WGA contact said there should be more pickets set up if the strike continues, right here in New Mexico.

That was, like, the whole <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer#Plot_summary" rel="nofollow">sixth season</a> of Buffy, wasn’t it?</p> As I recall, Whedon’s characters are great a dealing with things when nerds make all Hell break loose.
