I can think of one or two people in my circles who might be interested in seeing this:

So-- as I said, recently, YouTube has been recommending (after about a year's break) videos related to Chuck... Well, it turns out that the lead actor in the show (Zac Levi) has been, for the last three years, holding charity fundraising events at Comic-Con for Operation Smile called "Conversations for a Cause." He hosts/organizes panels in intimate spaces (rather than massive halls that hold 5,000+ people); entrance to these venues is $20, and the entire panel time is Q & A with the guests.

Here's one of the panels that streamed live, yesterday: Conversations for a Cause -- Doctor Who (Matt Smith, Jenna Louise Coleman, and Steven Moffat) -- Hosted by Nathan Fillion

~45 minutes

Ooh, thank you for that link, grabbed the Who, Sherlock and Tom Hiddleston ones to watch in the shop when it's quiet. Definitely be passing a link to the Hiddleston one to a friend.

\o/ Glad to be of service. Though, as with much live streamed things, there's a long lead time (2, maybe 3 minutes) of a static image on the screen.

Just so you know...

*nod* Got the Who one watched in the shop and after my bath going to fire up the YouTube app on the 360 and watch a few more talks on the telly.

I've also heard Chuck is coming to Netflix UK soon, so will likely give it another try, I got a few episodes in last time and it was only the backlog of other stuff I had that stopped me keeping going.

\o/ Being a fan over something is a bit like laughter: it's most enthusiastic and deep when done in a social context. :-)

And I think you'd like it, too, because half the humor is based on how difficult it is to work in retail, and deal with customers. :-)

*huff* And missing this is what I get for abandoning my circle while focusing my attention on the 'Con. Though I think I was in my panel, or preparing for it, when this went on. So it goes.

How did your panel go? It was about an hour after our exchange yesterday that it pinged in my mind that the videos I'd been watching were coming from the same place you were signing/talking... and that a lot of Comic-Con is uploaded to YouTube, and maybe your panel, too...

So maybe I can see it, after all? What was your panel called?

[smw]

It seemed to go well, but I would be interested to see a video, too, as I have no clear idea of how I came across from the audience's perspective. My google-fu has not yet brought it up, though it was fairly late yesterday and might appear later. Nor have any photos of my ugly mug, which is interesting, 'cause there was a goodly handful taken.

To answer your question: it was called "Witches and Fey, Monsters and Mortals".

[capri0mni]

'nifty. I'll keep my eyes out for it. Was it a Tor publishing hosted, or -centric, panel?

[smw]

Good question! I believe it was put together by someone outside the company, so I am guessing the authors were not all Tor's. Can't swear to it, though.

[capri0mni]

Okie-doke. Just wondering if Tor would be a useful keyword for a search...

[pedanther]

I've just realized I never thanked you for pointing these out. Thank you!

[capri0mni]

You're welcome.

(personally, I think Matt Smith's polka-dot socks are the best part).
