Tonight I went to the season 2 cast and crew premiere event for Game of Thrones in LA. It’s a great venue (the Ray Kurtzman Theater at CAA), of course, and a fun time out, but it’s also nice to see people I mainly communicate with via e-mail face to face—though, as usual, I forgot… Continue reading Game of Thrones Season 2 Premiere Event

As a result, I’m writing this otherwise contentless post to ask: Is… Continue reading Athahhaqar
