To answer Kat, I did have fun. And it was intimidating at first. A room full of people and me without an idea in my head. It seemed like most of them wanted to do Firefly, and I went with Angel instead. It actually felt like it could have been a cool episode. Had the bones of a fantastic teaser and act one. Not bad for an hour or so, which is how long that much took.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

That's a whole 'nother thing that you will never learn from my lips.
So does that preclude typing?
It is kind of scary that one of the best hours of television ever was written in a weekend.
I want to see Tim at work. Does anyone know when the DVD will be available?

If I only had a brain...

Yeah, but what about your fingertips?
[great minds...]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That does sound like a great event to be at. Nothing is better than learning about stuff you care about from someone who's really really good at it, AND good at helping you get it.
PS: Allyson is a whitefont schmoop head!! Love it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'll find out about the DVD. I'm interested in Kristen's opinion on it all, because she wants to be a television writer, and since I don't, I was listening from a different angle, probably.
Ginger, I'll find out when the DVDs will be sold.
Allyson, that's very nice, what you said in whitefont.
What whitefont?

I just want to know how they graded me on those cards. I felt like a hotel chain after Allyson spilled it to me. Thank god John protected me from knowing about it while I was up there. That woulda sucked.

Drop off a pie at the corner of Vermont and Franklin....

Okay, Allyson. Pie dropped at Vermont and Franklin. I left it in that building called, um, "House Of Pies."

Hmph. I get no musical cred? Hmph.

OMG Tim, I forgot to tell you my favorite part of the Q&A. Someone asked you what the most common mistake you see in scripts is, and you replied, "They suck."
I almost peed my pants.
