Oh Princess of Babylon, how I love thee...

[xie_xie_xie]

I had extreme PTSD when I discovered that the Princess of Babylon site had gone down.

When I first started watching QAF on DVD in December of 2005, one of the first things I did was Google "Queer as Folk music" so I could find out what some of the songs were. And POB was the first "fandom" site I ever saw, even though I barely understood that fandom existed, let alone what it was.

That site meant the world to me and when it was gone I felt all sad and miserable and lost. But it's back!!!!

*clutches Princess of Babylon to heaving bosom and kisses it many times*

So I just wanted to post this little love note about it, in case any of the new fans on my list weren't aware of this wonderful resource.

Also, the Princess of Babylon, hot4gale, made the first fan vid I ever saw. Called "Brian Remembers: Three little words," it was set to Sarah McLachlan's "I Love You." I adore this vid.

It's on YouTube and I'll embed it here, but if you want to download it or any of her other vids, she has them all here -- in better quality than on YouTube, too.

Just watched it, yes I cried, just perfect. And the best part for me, nothing past 510, as thats where I get off :) loved how she kept showing the waltz at the Prom, & the kiss by the jeep,,sigh one of my ever fav moments of QaF.

Thanks, god they were beautiful together.

I'm a big fan of the music, so that site is one of the fandom resources I use the most. I'm so glad it's back!

I hadn't realized that this site was gone. I used it extensively when I was making my disks. Goodbye old friend.

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

No idea where 1st reply went - so,
xiexie ni. This video is wonderful, the best Brian-Justin video I've seen. The clips are put together so effectively and so well linked to the song.
And, Sarah McLachlan - big sigh. I love her voice and her songs with B-J videos.
Thanks so much for the video and the link.

Brian and Justin

Your heaving bosom?

My life will never be the same.

Travis

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

Please. I've totally clutched you to my heaving bosom. Actually, one year ago to just about the day!

Don't you have a birthday right about now????

[orlith.livejournal.com]

But was our bosom actually heaving? ;)

In about 1.5 hours I will have a birthday. 41 years old. Very hard to wrap my mind around. :)

Travis

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

Pffft.

I'll be fifty next month. You can kiss my ass!

And of course, by that I mean... Happy Birthday!

If we were on IJ I'd use a nice Ares icon for you...

[orlith.livejournal.com]

You look far younger than 50, my dear. As beautiful as you've always been. :)

And thank you for the birthday wishes.

It was the first vid I ever saw too, and I was on dial-up at the time so it took forever to download, but I still rate it as the best ever made. Thank you for letting us know the site is back up again.

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy to see that others share my love for this vid!!!
