Before This | After This

I totally broke all my own rules.

Quality scripted tv
Also, I need some new TV icons. Various shows. Stat.

Because of where I live and the friends I've been lucky enough to make I get to go to TV show panels from time to time. Every single time I feel unbelievably lucky. I'm positive that at some point, someone will realize what a little imposter I am. There is no way I get to do something so cool. Some are Paley, some are TV Academy, all of them are a blast. Usually it's just not done to be a fan at these things cause that's not smooth enough for the industry, so I try to lie low, not go all fangirly, and generally play much cooler than I am (all goals that are not always met.) This means keeping the fandom to a minimum, not staring at the actors, and definitely, under no circumstances, taking pictures. I have breached this before for awful, unfocused, as they're getting up from the chairs on the fly shots, but really, no pictures. It just feels unprofessional.

But last night.

It's not even my favorite show. On right now or ever.

But um, I still broke all my rules.

I took pictures.

I woo!ed when he walked onstage.

It was a blast. And it won't happen again at the Academy or any other Paley event, probably ever, but last night, it was fun.

(And if Robert Guillaume had been up there, I'd have taken twice as many pictures.)


HI KRAUSE.


OH MAN.


I MISS SPORTS NIGHT.


He's one of three people in Hollywood that can reduce me to a fannish mess, and one of two that I never even managed to talk to, but I will say this: Steve Martin's dog loved me.

I completely understand the need not to be too fannish at events with where you work, but I'm glad you made the exception last night.

Krause is totally worth being geeky. I'm like a kid hiding out in a candy store usually at work. I just lie low and they don't know they've let me in. :)

And this is why I shouldn't work in the industry at all.

LOL, I know what you mean. I've totally lucked out with my job in that they are amused by my fandom and encourage me to try for development. It would be fun, but I don't know how objective I could be.

Oh yeah, the star of Dirty Sexy Money too.

Yeah, it was a fun panel. I like the show, but I really wish they'd gone in the direction of the original pilot. Hopefully it'll be better next season with the new showrunner.

Oh, the pictures you got were GOOD! Definitely worth breaking the rules for.

:) They were good seats! If only I'd been less self-conscious at the Gossip Girl panel. Front row! Oh the shots I could have shot if I'd been a little less hung-up.

Great pics, looks like you were way up there! Most people in the industry are working in it because they are *fans* to one degree or another. I know the rules can be maddening and they are worth breaking if you won't be affected negatively for it. :) Oh all those hours on the red carpet....inches from so many cool people... :)

I know! Everyone in this building is so damn NY and blase. I fit in much better with the animators who actually walk around in Disney stuff! :)
