Kendra: Everyone at Footlight loves music, and we are almost all artists of some type. ![]() Laura: Pivoting our emerging artist mission to an online model seemed the natural choice. There didn’t seem to be any avenue for bands to safely get on a stage and do what bands are supposed to do, play together. FOOTLIGHT RIDGEWOOD PLUSPlus it was rarely an actual band playing. It was great at first but it didn’t take long to be frustrated with sound/video/internet quality.

The lack of clarity, the misinformation and the lack of support and direction from the local authorities was disappointing and continues to be alarmingly ineffective. We even had a break in and the ATM was stolen March 13th!!! It was so much to handle I don’t think I have all the words to describe the whirlwind.

Why, for example, was she so hot for vampires? We will discuss and debate whether, in the end, Buffy reconciled these dilemmas as she saved the world (Again!). You and up to 20 socially distanced close friends will look critically at the show’s overarching narrative, asking ourselves: Was Buffy truly a feminist icon? If so, what kind of feminist? Radical?
