TV Around LA

The life of a TV fan in Los Angeles is never dull. It’s easy enough to spot an actor walking around town, but it’s equally as easy to see actors talking about their work at numerous other locales.

For me the next few weeks are going pretty busy, with the added bonus of being really entertaining. Friday, the Egyptian Theatre is sponsoring an event featuring Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog and The Guild, followed by a conversation between Felicia Day and Joss Whedon (schedules permitting). I can only imagine what those two will have to talk about together, but that’s what comes with these events.

Two weeks after, Whedonopolis, a site dedicated to all things Whedon, is sponsoring its second annual showing of Dr. Horrible. Last year’s event included some of the creative team and cast talking before the screening as well as plenty of fun (this event welcomes fans to sing along and to dress up).

Lastly, the inner teenager in me doesn’t want to wait for next event. In celebration of Dawson’s Creek being available as a complete series on DVD, the Paley Center will host a night with creator Kevin Williamson (with additional guests pending) to discuss the show’s influence.

Needless to say, there will be plenty of material for columns from these events, as they always leave an impression.
