True Blood News - Season 4 news and spoilers

Guest correspondent and friend of the site, NotHoney, reported in from the Earth Day, Save the Whales Rally in Washington D.C. where Kristin Bauer spoke today. Here’s her account of the event. Special thanks go out to NotHoney!

Today, to celebrate Earth Day, I attended IFAW’s Rally for the Whales on the National Mall featuring Kristin Bauer, who plays Pam the vampire on HBO’s hit series, “True Blood.” It’s especially important on this 40th anniversary of Earth Day to draw attention to whale hunting because the Obama Administration plans to announce the lifting of the ban on commercial whaling.

I did, however, get to meet Kristin and her husband, Abri VanStraten. I met Abri first, who then pointed out his wife, talking to a group of people attending the rally. Abri called Kristin over and I introduced myself, even mentioned Bill’s Wiki’d Women, and she seemed to have heard of the forum.
