I may have spent the better part of this weekend reliving the magic that is BtVS seasons six and seven, and I may have picked Nancy Holder's
Buffy: The Making of a Slayer.

I'm a proud member of the Buffy generation -- you know, back when vampires were scary. Even if a human girl fell in love with one,
they could still instill fear. You know, back before vampires sparkled in the sun and were worried about
pre-marital sex. (Okay. Technically, very bad things happened when Buffy and Angel got intimate. It's totally bogus that even a show about a kick-ass female superhero was so sex negative.)
I'm rambling again.
So, with lame vampires, zombies became the new trendy Big Bad -- and there are plenty of post-zombie apocalypse, survival-themed races to prove it. What's a fan of vampires to do?
Why the
Vampire 5K, of course!
Participants choose one role: citizen or vampire. Starting at dusk, citizens toward finish line. Meanwhile, vampires try to convert citizens by taking away flags from their garlic belt. There's even fog, a red powder zone, and a finish line party!
The DC race is scheduled for April 26th. Anyone in?
