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.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

[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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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?

"Don' be e-scared"
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."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

If I only had a brain...
You get musical cred, just not understanding cred. Because I am nicer, although not as nice as msbelle.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
Yeah so instead of attending Tim's class I was trying to earn the money I would have used on the class by being an extra on a "late night cable movie." Clearly I'm not smart enough to make it in the biz. Oh well, another extra who was an aspiring director said I should try and write more comedy because I have a quick wit. Not really, we were on location for a shoot where people were serious about making a skinamax movie. The jokes write themselves.
