Catching up on my e-mail I came across a Google News Alert for this article:
La Dolce Musto
Who Put the Goth in Gotham?
Unconventional swordplay and vamping, plus blind items that will make you go blind
by Michael Mustofrom the Village Voice. To say it puts an, uh, unique spin on the whole "thrust/parry" scene between Barnabas and Burke in Ep #301 would be an understatement!
And be sure to also read the second item because it references Frid as well.
(FYI: If you're unaware of what articles in the Village Voice can often be like, be aware that you might take offense to some of the images/text contained on this Web page - so, check it out at your own risk.
