That’s right – the one and only panel that I’m on, and it’s overlapping with the big Peanuts panel. That means that I’m going to have to miss the Peanuts panel, with its preview footage of what’s obviously Happiness is a Blanket, Charlie Brown<\/em> (and “Warner Premiere” means this is direct-to-video, folks.) And it means that the huge room for the poor Peanuts panel will be empty, because all of the AAUGH Blog fans will be over at my panel, soaking in the goodness that is me… right? Right?<\/em><\/p>\n
Oh, all right. Go to the Peanuts panel. Have a good time, and let me know about any new news they announce there. Just don’t gloat to me about how abso-mazing it was, okay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
