“Grant that i may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted”

Oy - what a weekend. I swear to god, I think I got into fights with everyone I talked to. So, just a warning - email me at your peril. I’m crabby.

In awesome news? Dr. Sketchy’s went well (except that I almost beat up and old lady… long story), and I think we might have the highest animal population of any other life drawing group. Two cats, three dogs, two models and a DJ… man, add all the paying customers, and even in Rachel’s loft it was a packed house!

In other, also awesome news - I have the skinny on my two panels at SDCC:

SATURDAY:

12:30-1:30 Spotlight on J. H. Williams III
His Eisner Award–winning work with Alan Moore on Promethea made him one of the top artists working in comics today. Comic-Con special guest J. H. Williams is joined by writing partner Scott Johnson and writer Grant Morrison in this fully loaded panel moderated by Laurenn McCubbin. Room 2

6:00-7:00 The Pitching Hour —
Jermaine Turner (director, original series, Disney/ABC Cable Networks Group), Jill Stewart (manager, original series, Disney Channel Animation), Dan Evans (network exec, Digimon), Jeremy Love (VP, Gettosake Entertainment), Laurenn McCubbin (producer, Showtime’s Rent Girl), and Jonas Agin (senior VP, Tom Lynch Company) will take an idea from conception through production. This process will include creating a pitch document, obtaining agents, and getting a pitch meeting. The panelists will explain, through hypothetical example and humorous stories, the process that new creator should adapt to make their way into the Hollywood creative battleground. Knowing that each project is unique, there will be a Q&A to allow the audience to really hone in on the solutions to obstacles they may encounter. Also on hand will be IP lawyer Brendan McFeely to give creators insight on protecting their ideas as they navigate Hollywood! Room 5AB

So, evidently Sattidy is my busy day. I may spend the rest of the time at the beach.

    […] On the business end of things, we’ll be headed to San Diego for the Nerd Prom on Wednesday. (Note to potential robbers: we’ve got a mean housesitter, a new security system and two vicious dogs, so perhaps you should try Mark’s place next door instead?) Fraction, Ellis, Jamie, Steve, Fabio & Gabriel and Brian have all posted their schedules. (Laurenn is doing a couple of panels — I suspect she’ll post info when she sees I’ve hinted that she should. Hint, hint.  EDITED TO ADD: Laurenn had already posted her panels.  My bad!) I have nothing to post, but at five feet tall and eight months pregnant, I’m hard to miss — stop me and say hello if you see me waddling by. […]
