Amber at Clexacon 2019 - Tara Maclay and The Legacy of Buffy Panel and Behind-The-Scenes Videos.

4/20/2019

Last weekend Amber was one of the special guests at ClexaCon 2019 in Las Vegas. ClexaCon is the first and largest multi-fandom event that aims to bring together LGBTQ fans, allies and content creators to celebrate positive representations of LGBTQ women in media. Amber was the special guest on a panel called: Tara Maclay and The Legacy of Buffy.

Amber discusses the impact of Tara and Willow's relationship and the positive impact it had on society. As well as the many letters and messages over the years that both she and Alyson (Willow) received from fans saying how much seeing a LGBTQ couple on screen helped them. Amber talks about her working relationship with Joss Whedon, “Hush” and “Family” also she gives her honest opinion on Tara's departure from Buffy and much more. Amber also takes questions from the audience. This is a really enjoyable panel, a must see for fans and there is some really exciting news from Amber regarding her latest projects.

There is good news for fans who were unable to be there in person. ClexaCon have released two videos the first is Amber behind-the-scenes as she prepares to take the stage. The second is the full Tara Maclay and The Legacy of Buffy Panel. I've embedded both videos below so you can watch them, they are an absolute must watch for Amber fans.

Disclaimer: There is some discussion of mature themes in Tara Maclay and The Legacy of Buffy video.

Thanks to my friend Katie for the heads up. Due to work commitments it took me a longer than I would have liked to get this update online. I hope everyone enjoys the videos.

2/26/2019

A few days ago Amber confirmed via her official Twitter account that she is to be one of the special guests at CLEXACON 2019 in Las Vegas. CLEXACON is the first and largest multi-fandom event which aims to bring together LGBTQ fans, allies and content creators to celebrate positive representations of LGBTQ women in media.

As many of you will know Amber played the role of Tara Maclay in Buffy the Vampire Slayer together with Alyson Hannigan (Willow). They played the first openly gay couple on a US network television show. Amber played the role of Tara with both honesty and sensitivity, which earned her much deserved praise. The role had a big impact on her life, and Amber continues to support the LGBTQ community to this day. Amber is excited to be attending this year but rather than paraphrase or quote her I’ve included a link to her original tweet, click here.

CLEXACON 2019 will be held on 11th-15th of April 2019. At Tropicana Hotel Las Vegas Nevada: 3801 Las Vegas Blvd S. Las Vegas, NV 89109.

Amber To Be A Guest at Wales Comic Con In The UK Next Month

11/14/2018

There was exciting news for UK Amber Benson fans yesterday evening when it was announced that Amber is to be a guest at the upcoming Wales Comic Con in December. It will be held on the 1st - 2nd of December at Glyndwr University, Wrexham, North Wales.

Amber is the latest addition to an exciting line-up of Buffy The Vampire Slayer cast members attending the event including:

Mercedes McNab
Michelle Trachtenberg
Nicholas Brendon
Emma Caulfield
Perhaps the most exciting news for fans of Willow and Tara is that Alyson Hannigan will also be a guest along with Amber as well.

Alexis Denisof was due to attend it was announced via social media that he has had to cancel due to ill-health. This news broke shortly before it was revealed that Amber would be attending this year.

Wales Comic Con announced Amber’s attendance just over six hours ago via their official Facebook and Twitter accounts. At the time of writing this Amber has not yet been added to the list of guests on the event’s website but from the information on social media it would appear she set to attend on both Saturday the 1st and Sunday 2nd of December.

The event is already proving to be very popular and Saturday is a complete sellout. However there are still general entry tickets available for Sunday. To find out more about the event and to buy tickets click the link below and hit the “Buy Tickets” button at the top of the page.

https://www.walescomiccon.com

There are photo shoots available with guests but again at the time of writing this photo shoots with Amber have not yet been added to their official site. I will do my very best to update this article and our Twitter and Facebook pages with more information as and when it becomes available.

Sadly due to a combination of factors I won't be able to attend this year but I'm delighted that Amber is returning to the UK and my fellow Amber fans will get the chance to meet her. I hope everyone who is attending and Amber herself of course have an amazing time. As ever I will do my very best to keep people updated on any new information regarding the event e.g. Amber’s photo shoots, guest talks etc. as soon I get it.

Amber To Attend Slay The Vampires Again Convention In Paris on Saturday the 3rd of November

11/1/2018

Amber delivered a late Halloween treat for her fans confirming she is heading to Paris this Saturday the 3rd of November. Amber will be a guest at Clouds Con’s Slay The Vampires Again Buffy convention in the French capital. Amber shared her excitement with fans via her official Twitter account. (click here) She also posted a video message to fans via her official Instagram account. (click here)

Amber will be joined by fellow Buffy cast members Kristine Sutherland who played Joyce Summers and Larry Bagby who regularly featured as a guest star throughout seasons 2 and 3 playing the role of Larry Blaisdell. Alongside this trio of on-screen acting talent is former Buffy costume designer Matt Van Dyne who will also be meeting fans.

The event is being held at Evergreen Laurel Hotel Levallois-Perret France, unlike most of the US and UK conventions I've come across this is only being held for one-day rather than the full weekend.

For more information you can visit the official website by clicking the link below:

http://cloudscon.fr/en/event/fan-meet-buffy-2-slay-the-vampires-againen/

It looks as though the event is completely sold out. I apologise for not posting about this sooner, A big friend of the site and fellow Amber fan Katie gave me a heads up a while back. My plan had been to wait until nearer the convention to see if I could gather some more information before posting but I’ve had a stressful couple of months and it slipped my mind. Even though it's late in the day I still thought it was worth posting about for informational purposes and in case fans hadn't seen Amber's video.

I hope everyone who is attending has a fantastic time and Amber has a safe and enjoyable time in the legendary city of lights.
