It's been a busy day here in the fortress — prepping for the Cartoon Voices Panel, doing the Cartoon Voices Panel, recovering from the Cartoon Voices Panel…
Recovering involved a long nap but it also involved a lot of nice phone calls and e-mails and texts, including a few from friends I haven't heard from in quite a while. That was an unexpected bonus. I thought it went pretty well, especially considering the inevitable last-minute tech problem. One of our five panelists, Bob Bergen, suddenly couldn't hear me. He could hear the other four panelists but not me…and how can you be on a panel if you can't hear the host?
If you watch it — and I hope you will — you'll see how we coped with it at first, then fixed it. From that point on, everyone seemed to have a pretty good time, though I came up with several thoughts about things we could do better. If and when we do more of these, we'll try to perfect the form…and it's starting to look like a when, not an if. Stay tuned for more details…and thanks to everyone who watched us in real time. It made a difference, wholly positive, to know we were doing it for a live audience, even one we couldn't see or hear.
