Ipod Day? So …
So a few months ago (felt like years ago) there was Ipod Day – where had Wade building playlists for Serenity members.
I’ve actually started a playlist on spotify (there’s not many songs – but will add one for Ben Wade).
Call out to everyone here – got any good songs that would represent characters from Serenity? I’ll take suggestions and work up a Fanmix (Spring Fling is coming up)
Coffee House Friday
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.
Plans? Just taking all the chocolate and forget everything else?

Sylum Inspiration: Sundance Kid
Sanctuary: Legal Advisor
Longabaugh was born in Mont Clare, Pennsylvania in 1867, the son of Pennsylvania natives Josiah and Annie G. (née Place) Longabaugh. He was the youngest of five children (his older siblings were Ellwood, Samanna, Emma and Harvey). Longabaugh was of mostly English and German ancestry and was also part Welsh. At age 15, Longabaugh traveled westward on a covered wagon with his cousin George. In 1887, Longabaugh stole a gun, horse and saddle from a ranch in Sundance, Wyoming. While attempting to flee, he was captured by authorities and was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in jail by Judge William L. Maginnis. During this jail time, he adopted the nickname of the Sundance Kid. After his release, he went back to working as a ranch hand, and in 1891, as a 25-year-old, he worked at the Bar U Ranch in what is today Alberta, Canada, which was one of the largest commercial ranches of the time.
Longabaugh was suspected in 1892 in a train robbery, then again in 1897 in a bank robbery along with five other men. He became associated with a group known as the “Wild Bunch,” which included his famous partner Robert Leroy Parker, better known as Butch Cassidy.
Longabaugh likely met Butch Cassidy (real name Robert Leroy Parker) after Parker was released from prison around 1896. Together with the other members of “The Wild Bunch” gang, they performed the longest string of successful train and bank robberies in American history.
After pursuing a career in crime for several years in the United States, the pressures of being pursued, notably by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, forced Longabaugh, his girlfriend Etta Place, and Cassidy to abandon the United States. The trio fled first to Argentina and then to Bolivia, where Parker and Longabaugh were probably killed in a shootout in November 1908.

It was 1902 when Butch and Sundance ended up robbing a bank that happened to have Will and Sparrow inside. It went wrong from the moment they stepped into the building. In the end Sundance and Butch escaped with the two Vampires’ help, and ended up Turned.
No one was surprised they were Mates.
Floating Lantern Festival
There’s a lot of history with Floating Lantern Festivals, dating back to China during 200 BC. Many cultures have traditions and histories with the Sky Lanterns from releasing ones worries to celebration of the water goddess and to honor family ancestors. It usually takes place on the 15th day of Lunar New Year.
And for a Sylum Snippet – one requested way back by Kathie – Nathan and family (that still leaves 8 … how do I always have 8)

Sylum Inspiration: Ysabel Lomelin
Integridad: Hunter
Ysabel was the third daughter of a Merchant family. She was nothing like her sisters, had no interest in being a wife or mother. She spoke her mind, drank with the boys, and had no problem finding a solution to her problems.
Which was what led her to Nerha Silks looking for Máximo, trying to make a deal with him to marry her, as she wasn’t happy her father promised her hand in marriage to an Don, whose granddaughter was five years younger than Ysabel. Instead Aguilar offered her the title of widow.
She instantly forced her way into the small family. It didn’t take her long to learn about Assassins, which she demanded to be trained, and when she learned about Vampires she just gave Máximo a look. He sighed and Turned her.
