I am going to be fang deep in vampires this weekend.
I’m heading to Dark Shadows at Twilight: A Paley Center Vampire Weekend at the Paley Center’s New York outpost.
If you’re not familiar with the Paley Center For Media, the organization hosts many events dedicated to the cultural, creative and social significance of TV, radio and emerging new media platforms, the most famous of which is their annual William S. Paley Television Festival. I was lucky enough to go to this year’s Paley Fest with @TrueBloodDallas where I livetweeted the True Blood panel (read my live tweets from the event here).
Vampire Weekend officially kicks off on Friday, November 13 with screenings of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and one of my favorite vampire films, Nosferatu.
Saturday is going to be my big day. I’ll be livetweeting from the True Blood screening. Alan Ball, Stephen Moyer, and Anna Paquin are scheduled to be there, so expect loads of tweets and pics. While there won’t be any stars in attendance, I’m sure we all remember how quickly we were glamored by Alan Ball’s series, so yeah, expect loads of tweets and pics from the event.
I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the “TV Vampire Takedown” debate led by Entertainment Weekly’s Ken Tucker. Expert vampire fans from the likes of Television Without Pity, TVland.com, and Vanity Fair are going to be debating merits of everyone’s favorite TV vampires. Given that they’re going to be focusing on the results of Paley Center’s TV Vampire Poll (yup, Spike won), I’m expecting to see blood on the stage.
So if you’re interested in following the action, follow my Paley NY Vampire Weekend list on Twitter. And if you’re going tweet me so I can add you to my list!
