Sharpen Your Fangs…..

We’ve Found the Willing Freshies!






Finally, my undead brethren after wetting your appetites for weeks and weeks I have the dates for the New York ComicCon and Philadelphia Blood Drives. I have also included all the information regarding monetary donations, donating off-site, and T-shirts.


Breaking News before I even got this baby off the presses – just goes to show you how fast this campaign is moving!

YouChoose has just informed me that the National Moonlight Blood Drive will be at the Early Show on CBS on April 18!! Tune and See the heart of Moonlight broadcast to the masses! Check your local listings for the channel in your area. The show is on 7am – 9pm EST.

Some housekeeping issues to take at hand.


1 – The New York ComicCon has announced on their website that Alex O’Loughlin and Jason Dohring will be at the event. My understanding from the website is that there will be a Moonlight Panel on Sunday. Please go to the NY ComicCon website for more information. I cannot stress to you enough that Alex and Jason will be IN the building and the blood drives will be OUTSIDE the buildings. If you are coming to New York to see Alex and Jason then you must purchase ComicCon tickets and go to the event inside. I would only hope that if you are diehard enough of a fan to come to New York to see Alex and Jason that you would also be diehard enough to come to the blood drive outside and donate.


2 – Huge heartfelt thanks and hugs to Marco of 258 West for allowing Moonlight to participate in his annual blood drive at the NY ComicCon. Please, if you are on site to donate and show your support please extend the love that all Moonlight fans are so well known for and thank Marco for allowing this. This is his baby and he works very hard every year to make this a success, and as a fellow Moonlight fan he has extended the olive branch that has allowed our participation at such a wonderful event. Please check out Marco’s store at [link] .


3 – Last, and most certainly NOT the least -- Please show Moonlight love and support to Christine whose immortal vampire spirit has worked so tirelessly to see that this whole nationwide campaign came to fruition. I can say from the bottom of my undead heart that she has put her immortal soul into this. Without Christine and YouChoose.net none of this would have been possible on such a large scale.


Now enough of the love fest ---

On to other things you want and NEED to know about the National Moonlight Blood Drive!!


So you can’t get to New York – no worries – we have you covered….


Go to YouChoose.net (Campaign, Moonlight Season 2) and print out a Donor Verification form. Then go to [link] and find a donor site near you. Take the form with you to the site, donate your hard earned hemoglobin (blood), get the form stamped with your donor number, and send it back to the address listed on the form. Simple as that!


You just recently got a jail house tattoo or you have some other condition that prevents you from donating blood, or perhaps you’re just not much of "needle" person --- no worries my friends we have you covered there too. Go to YouChoose.net (Campaign, Moonlight Season 2) and make a monetary donation, print a donor verification form, write the amount of the donation where the donor verification number would go, attach the receipt for your donation, and mail it to the address listed on the form.


You were out for an afternoon stroll and wandered into a Moonlight Blood Drive….stranger things have happened….No problem! There will be donor verification forms available ON SITE! Simply get a form from a volunteer, bleed for the Red Cross, get the form stamped, and send it to the address indicated.


So why all the stamping, sending, and receipt attaching?


Simple. Every verification form that gets returned counts towards our cause of saving Moonlight. The numbers will be tallied and given to the powers that be so they know we were out there and they know that we are willing to give our BLOOD to save our show.


One more added bonus – every person who returns a stamped verification form or a receipt attached to a verification form is eligible to purchase a limited edition, one of a kind Moonlight Blood Drive T-shirt for the bargain price of $10. (I haven’t seen the shirts – but I’ve heard the buzz…..and the buzz is good!)


Anyone who makes a blood donation or monetary donation between <> NOW and April 26th is eligible to receive the T-shirt.


Thank you so much MaryBeth from YouChoose for tolerating every single one of my questions to get all the information together for the fans! You’re the best – truly truly everyone she is AWESOME! I encourage everyone, when the dust settles on this campaign, to go to YouChoose and look for more great efforts to become involved in.



Stop reading – it’s done….GO DONATE! Why are you still here?



See ya in NYC and Philly……Fight for your right to Vamp out on Friday nights!
