In the news: Auctions, exhibit crowds, TFU

The TIE fighter model in the Profiles in History auction is expected to fetch up to £100,000, the highest-priced (or, well, estimated) item in the collection. That’s about about $200,000 American. Gotta love the exchange rate… The Crusade Grail is only expected to go for about £12,500, or $25,000.

Dr. Horrible Breaks the Internet

Apparently geek musicals are popular, these days. A big sorry to those of you who were excited to hear that we had another Whedon musical on our hands only to find yourselves unable to get there.

It appears that Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was so popular that it took out the website; along with Whedonesque.

While Joss sent word through E!’s Watch with Kristin that they would soon be back up, it appears to still be down this morning. (US Eastern)

Those willing to pay can try their luck with iTunes. It seems to be holding up under the strain. (A season pass is only US$3.99)
