Chuck Me!
Get ready to be jealous, kids, because I’m about to describe to you the coolest night of my life and, I warn you now, by the time I’m through, you’re gonna want to be me. And by that I mean you’re going to want to put aside whatever hobbies it is you do to while away the hours, start up a television blog of your very own, spend three years devoting every waking moment to it and spend far more than you’ll ever made back for your efforts… all in the hopes of having the kind of night I just had thanks to the site having gotten me the Comic Con equivalent of a Golden Ticket: an invitation to the Entertainment Weekly/SyFy party.
Not to oversell the event or anything, but it was basically the party of the year.
Where else would this TV Addict have the opportunity to geek out over STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION with FRINGE co-creator Roberto Orci, discuss Canada’s inferiority complex over its homegrown entertainment with TRUE BLOOD star Michelle Forbes and mistake boybander-turned-GREEK star Jesse McCartney with FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS star Jeremy Sumpter.
Um, okay, so that last bit may not have been my finest moment… but I digress.
Everywhere I looked, there was someone I worshipped having a conversation with someone I’d at one point considered stalking. Or in the case of Joss Whedon and Jane Espenson, forgoing conversation in order to bust a move on the dance floor as if they were mere mortals hanging at the local disco!
Folks, you would not believe the admissions, confessions and spoilers that come out of the mouths of actors after just a few martinis. (Of course, HPP — Hollywood Party Protocal, for those not in the know — dictates that my lips were sealed the moment I transitioned from red-carpet reporter to party guest! After all, I do want to be invited back next year and not left sitting on the other side of the doors like some Joan Rivers wannabe stuck on the red carpet!)
Want to be even more jealous than you no-doubt already are? Brace yourselves… because if there’s one thing you guys know about me it’s that I love almost nothing more than finangling my way into pics with stars like TRUE BLOOD’s Alexander Skarsgard (Eric). So to keep you entertained while you await my exclusive red-carpet reports in the days to come, enjoy some fun pics from the festivities after the jump!
