apartment has a perfect view of the boys when they come home from work,
we have band practice in the lobby every morning (and if we're lucky
Starsky joins us in his red underwear) and there's an artist's colony on
the roof with a special 2 way mirror over a certain cops' bed! Let's
not even mention the special security cameras and the cable station only
our building receives! ;-)>>

Oh, man, this place sounds like paradise! <g> Well, I'm here and all ready
to move in, if some of you wouldn't mind helping me lug my stuff up the
stairs. I wouldn't dream of interrupting the two gentlemen cops, they seem
awfully busy judging from the noise they're making.

I'm Sandi, and new at Venice Place (waves and thanks to Candy!). I'm a
slash addict, been writing in the Highlander universe mostly, with a bit of
Sentinel, although I'm still getting my feet wet there. I was absolutely
thrilled
to find that a slash Starsky and Hutch world was alive and well on the Net. I
was a *huge* S&H fan when the series first aired, which will certainly tell
you
my age <g>. Recently, a friend sent me a copy of the S&H pilot, and I've
fallen all over again! Glad to be here, and looking forward to life around
VP!

<<By the way, VP has its own website now! Go to:

You will meet a doorman you know. >>

Oh, yeah, niiiiiiiiice doorman!! :-)

Geez, I'm glad this *wasn't* confined to a calendar week, because I'm just now getting to catch up on email! Which is mainly why I lurk----not lack of  interest, but lack of time. And, maybe, too many email lists <g>........however, I digress...

I'm fairly new to Venice Place, but am enjoying it thoroughly! Having been in
the trenches of fandom for a good while, and having made it through many a
Highlander and Sentinel list war <g>, I gotta speak up for the friendliness of
the folks here. Gosh, my intro post alone netted me music vids and copies of
the entire series! (hugs to Cindy and Beth!), and MamaBird was so quick to
get me subbed, and show me around. And then there's those two gorgeous
guys upstairs.

As for commenting on the stories, I greedily devour all the slash available on
the net, but zines are beyond my budget. I have read a couple, courtesy of my
buddy J.C., and loved them. So, my lack of participation there has been
attributed to not having read the stories themselves.

I love all the discussion here, and am at this moment wallowing in re-watching
the eps, getting reacquainted with them, and hoping to get some writing done
soon. I agree with those who've pointed out that if *everyone* lurked, there'd
be no list....so.....I hereby resolve to de-lurk lots more.......and, hey, I
didn't even *know* about the band! <g>

My hat's off to everyone here. Thanks for the welcome and for making VP
such a lovely neighborhood!!
