Nicholas Brendon audioblog update Nov. 20, 2008 Part I
Hellooo, everybody. It’s Nicholas Brendon, calling you, at your homes. At your works. At your synagogues. At your mosques. At your temples. I be … ugh. Are you gonna? … This thing keeps hanging up on me, so if it does, I’m just going to have to put my fist through a windshield.
I’m driving in beautiful downtown right now – downtown Los Angeles. And, one of my episodes of Criminal Minds aired last night. Probably, this is a day late, if not two days late, this blog. But I wanted to blog at you: Blog. … It’s … probably … Blog. … Hold on: Blog. Blog. Blog. OK. Sorry about that. It’s gonna be a little: “Cleanup on Aisle 4. Yeah, I blogged everywhere. So if you can help me clean that up, that’d be great. Y-e-a-h. It’s kind of leaking into Aisle 5 now, too. It’s a mess.”
So, I just got done reading a book called A Prayer for Owen Meany
I just started reading a book called Prizzi’s Honor, which was a movie
Just finished a pilot – a comedy pilot, that we’re going to shoot. It’s called The Quincy Rose Show, and I am playing myself: I’m playing Nicholas Brendon in this project. And we’re going to shoot it on a shoestring budget, and shop it to networks, or quite possibly produce it online. And then we would have complete creative control of it … I’m talking to you like you guys are my lawyers. So, email me and let me know if you think that’s a good idea.
I have seen … I just saw Slumdog Millionaire

I love it when you post a new Blooooooog. Blaaaaaghhh! You are earlier than me, I still haven’t read A Prayer For Owen Meany. Thanks for the notes on the book. I loved you on Criminal Minds. But we want more more more!! Where’s your bookstore?
Good luck with your pilot! Hey, will you not have any lines to memorize if your playing youself? I think your idea for the project is great. Soon, everything will be online. I’ll watch your show however I can get it.

My sentiments exactly on Owen Meany. I read it in secondary school and really enjoyed it up until THAT FROMAGE-Y ENDING. Horrible. Horrible. And John really grated on my last nerve, too. Kept thinking he’d get laid at some point and stop whining but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not that lucky. Glad to see someone shares my thoughts on the subject.
Glad to hear you are working on a pilot, will keep my fingers crossed for ya!

Read “Fifth business” by Roberson Davies for a much better book about kids knocking ladies upside the head. Really, you’d love it.

oh nick brendon, i adore you.
i watched Criminal Minds for the first time in about two years last night, but you were only there for the first…what, five minutes? UNACCEPTABLE. make them give you more air time.
good luck with your pilot!

My favorite book review possibly ever.
So with the bookstore, you must be able to get your hands on advance reading copies too, right? If you’ve got an ARC for Christopher Ransom’s “The Birthing House” that might be a cool read. The author’s married to my carpool buddy, and it’s a horror novel inspired by the house they live in, which was a birthing house in our town’s distant history.

Sounds like you got cut off there at the end so I hope your windshield’s safe or at least being replaced atm
So I’m going to embarrass myself here and say I saw you at Megacon back in March in Orlando and by saw I literally mean saw you as I was too busy blushing and internally flailing to actually get in line and talk to you or get your autograph or anything like that so I guess I’m commenting on your blog to say “Hey” like 8 months late *L* Anyway I LOVE you on Criminal Minds but I gotta say the wardrobe dept is just AWFUL to you anywhere you go or do you purposely ask for those terrible shirts as kind of your trademark? 
Back in March if I’d actually gone up to talk to you I’d've told you that your portrayal of Xander is what got me hooked on BTVS and I wanted to thank you for dragging me into that ‘verse because it’s an awesome place to visit! Hope you get Quincy Rose going soon as I’d love to see more of you on TV!

Oh these audioblogs always brighten up my day, I can’t wait till your Criminal Minds airs in Australia, I think it’s in like 2 weeks or something. In fact it’s because of you that I startted watching the show so theres a little tidbit about someone you wouldn’t know.
This comedy pilot sound’s fantastically awesome, and Online would just make it awesomer. I know I can’t wait to see it, I am on the seat of my edge in anticipation about this. Hope your windsheild is still intact

” shut up and fuck somebody, already,”
Words to live by, my friend. Words to live by. Sounds like all is going well for you. Take care!

Wow, I must be a sucker for pathos – Owen Meany is one of my all-time favourite books and I cried my eyes out at the ending. Oh well
Try “The Book Thief” – a wonderful read that got me through two dreary, rainy days in London …

Hey Nick!
Just watching Grave and felt it was a perfect summarization of Xander; he feels useless but his presence, his innocence, his nobility and purity of heart and willingness to put it on the line for his loves–that is the glue that enabled the Scoobies to do their job. Their magic was stronger because of his.
Going through a rough time right now, but I just wanted to say your art has helped me; so you, like Xander, make the world a better place just doing what you do.
Happy Holidays,
Scarlett

re: The Quincy Rose Show. even though i hope a network picks you guys up, i’d almost rather you went straight to The Internets.
no, there’s no immediate, or even large amounts, of cash guaranteed but the creative control would be its own reward.
which will lead straight to the moola once it becomes Internet Famous.

Hey, Nicky,
My sister, Alex, and I loved the audioblog. Hope to hear another one soon, you rock. Update more often, some of your fans miss you, too.

Hi Nicholas,
I think that the Quincy Rose Show sounds cool and I hope for you that it gets picked up by a network, however I reckon online is the way to go you can do more things creatively then on a network and I would be able to see it straight away instead of waiting for it to be shown in my country
Kind regards.

I’m in the proccess of writing too, great endeavour. Spell checks a friend! LOL New show sounds interesting. I always thought you would make a great Ash, as in Evil Dead. They are doing a remake of this great classic horror flick. I could really see you in that role. but who am I? right…Good luck with all you do. You are a really good actor and I enjoy watching you. Have a good one, Faith

Oh my god! I totally just discovered you’re blog via Whedonesque.com, and when I heard your voice on this audio I coulda cried! lol… and how funny was it in spots really, man you are awesome! I have to say I saw you on Criminal Minds and much to the people in my house at the time and their ears, I think I yelled ” Oh my God, Nicholas Brendon is on Criminal Minds!” I was sooo happy and it was adorable seeing the outfits they had ya wear I’m like, yeah they were totally inspired with his role on Buffy. lol…How I miss the Xand man. *sigh*
I really hope you get to read this cause I’m a big dork, and yeah…it’d be an honor if ya did. You are so candid and funny, I just think that being a friend of yours must be a blast because you just seem so personable and down to earth which is rare especially as qualities of a famous person. (at least I think its a rare blessing anyway) So I absolutely love you and think you’re great and I just wanted to say YOU ROCK! As far as the new movie being sold over the internet please please do, as I am from nowwehere’sville Canada and yeah…lol it’d be alot handier cause otherwise I’d never have a hope or prayer in seeing it. *sniff,sniff*
Btw did you hear Sarah Michelle Gellar is in talks with Joss about a Buffy movie? I was soooo happy when I read the article online (found it through whedonesque I beieve) And apparently they are thinking of having her be a mom. Which, I dunno you know Buffy better than me so…j/k But yeah you have to sign on for that cause the Scoobies are not the Scoobies without their comic relief. And Xander was the man for that! So you are awesome, glad to see you in other projects as I always keep a watchful eye on my fav actors (not literally of course, cause that’s ya know stalkery and creepy lol) but yeah, where was I? …oh yes, congrats and good luck on all current and future projects.

Mr. Brendan
I so so so love you. I’m a big big fan. Is it possible that I could get an autographed picture of you? Are you working on anything new? I want to own everything you have ever ever been in. I love watching you on Buffy.
