New York Comic Con update

Well well well. Wasn’t I a gleeful little fangrrl yesterday when I heard the news – Sci Fi Channel just announced the final guests for New York Comic Con: Michael Hogan, Michael Trucco, and Rekha Sharma. That’s right folks: 3 out of 4 of The Final Four…and I believe that this is Mr. Hogan’s first con appearance, is it not? Needless to say I am very pleased and looking forward to it. For those of you bumming that Tahmoh Penikett won’t make it, be made happy knowing it’s because of his DOLLHOUSE work. I hope that helps. *\o/* (That, and the Amy Acker news, adds to my happy today.)


I’m also hoping to catch a bunch of other events, which I’ve cataloged over on my LJ if anyone is interested...for example: has anyone else noticed that Bill Plympton, Seth Green, Milo Ventimiglia, and the entire cast of HELLBOY are supposed to attend? Seems like I will be living in the IGN Theater for most of the weekend. If you hear about any other cool panels or booths related to film and TV, do let me know.

I’ll be twittering all weekend on my mobile – see the sidebar here to follow me – so give me a shout and let’s find each other, fellow Con-goers! Also keep your eyes out for the beloved Whitney “PopCandy” Matheson, who is on her way up from DC as we speak.

Those of you in the New York area might also be interested in a panel about TV fansites that I am participating in on May 19th, at the Paley Center. I just heard a rumor that there might be some showrunners attending this thing…probably not OUR showrunners, methinks, but hey, who knows. [OT: Did you Joss Whedon fans out there also hear about this event happening next Friday at Paley NY? I’ll see you there.]

For those of you not in New York, you can still get some questions in for Michael Trucco and Rekha Sharma over on these two skiffy forum threads. But hurry – deadline is 5pm Eastern US time today.

And because it was such a great interview, let me pimp one more time Trucco’s 20-minute chat with Slice of SciFi this week. A fun listen for you Trucco fans.

See you at the Javits Center...
