Covering Comic-Con for BuddyTV, time is of the essence.  You have to get from panel to panel in a hurried manner, all the while trying to write up your stories in the few minutes you have between commitments.  I had a small window of time to write up a couple stories before catching the panel for Pushing Daisies.  So, I raced from one of the rooms towards the press area.  The first press room I walked in on was in full-blown Chuck mode.  All the actors and Josh Schwartz were there doing interviews.  I could have stayed and joined but, as I said, time was short.  I walked out, and went next door to the other press room, where there were a bunch of my kind typing away.

Ten minutes into writing up a piece, a horde of publicists rush in.  They try to kick out some ancillary press, including me, until they realize the room is sufficiently big for us and whatever they're doing.  I move to the back of the room, whatever, and keep working.  A few minutes later, a full blown press conference begins for Terminator: Salvation, the fourth film in the series.  In walks the entire cast, with director McG, excluding Christian Bale.  There was Sam Worthington, Moon Bloodgood, Bryce Dallas Howard and Common.  There I am, writing an article for BuddyTV, while a star-studded press conference gets underway.  Unfortunately, I had to leave early – Pushing Daisies was calling.
