I think I’m as much of a fan as a lot of the attendees, so I’ve scheduled some time for myself just to wander around and sit in on some things, and I know that-I think that Simon Pegg is going to be there and the guys with Scott Pilgrim are going to be there, and I’m excited to see anything and everything about that.

With Covert Affairs, there’s two separate things. I’m so happy to be here and talking about my favorite shows that I get to work on and my favorite network.
