Buffy board game

Happy Halloween! It's time to talk about spooky things! A friend who knows me well gifted me with the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer board game! I can't wait to play it. I own a much earlier version of the game, which came out in 2000 while the series was still on the air.  In the original game, there were 4 possible stories to play, each one fighting a different villain, a.k.a. the 'big bad.' 

Through the phases of the moon, the vampires and wolves got different powers and the good and bad guys delivered damages. It was elaborate! Check out more information about the original game here. I can't wait to play and report back on the new updated game (with stories and characters for all 7 seasons). 

The Pianoman: Too Old to Be a Dad

Sara (No H)! EWWW

    The 'Pianoman' Billy Joel is 68 years old. I admit, he's a great singer and I would love to sing 'We Didn't Start the Fire' with him. But truthfully, he is getting up there in age. Billy and his 4th wife, Alexis, 35, announced they were having their second child about five days ago.
   
Today, baby Remy (a girl) was born to a man that could be her grandfather. Joel has two children already. Remy joins sisters Della (2) and Alexa (31). As a contemporary of Alexa, I'm taking a stand on this issue. I understand that when you're on to wife number 4, you just want to have kids. At a certain point, your previous children should be allowed take a stand and weigh in on their older parents from having more children. What quality of life is this kid going to have with a dad who is about 70? You can't be a full time caregiver for an infant, nor do you want to (although I'm sure they have a nanny).  Also for poor Alexa, each of her parents have been married 4 times; they met on a second marriage. Alexa's had 2 stepdads and 2 stepmoms. Aside from her two baby sisters and stepmom who is a few years older, Alexa has siblings Jack, 22, and Sailor, 19, from one of her mom Christie Brinkley's 4th marriage. This is a different situation because Alexa grew up with these two kids in the same house and they were closer in age.

In conclusion, If I were Alexa, I would be majorly creeped out if my parents had more children at this point in my life. I once went on a date with a guy that said he was pretty sure his parents weren't having another kid. He was well into his 20's and we did not have a second date. As Jimmy Fallon's Sara (No H! H's are gross) says, "EWW!"

Another GIGSoup Concert Review: Gavin DeGraw at the Wellmont Theater

(c) PipPepPop

I've been to many Gavin DeGraw concerts in a selection of intimate venues. These concerts are special and standing room gets you close to the stage. I love being close to the stage and up in the action, but there is one more thing I enjoy at a concert: sitting in the seat I paid for. Gavin DeGraw's RAW tour blended the intimate, stripped-down in front of the stage experience with the joy of sitting in my seat in the balcony. Check out my GIGSoup concert review to learn more about his stop at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, N.J.
