Hmm, looks like Bleeding Cool may have cribbed from your report and/or the video for a couple of articles....

Both are posted by Rich Johnston, who was definitely not there, but with no attribution or acknowledgement.

Probably the video since JMS posted a link to it on Twitter. No problem. That's one reason why I record his stuff - so that accurate info is out there.

Thanks for letting me know.

He did crib from it, because I sent him the link (since none of the comics sites seem to have picked up the story at all). He doesn't tend to acknowledge sources these days, which is occasionally irritating.

... and I predicted to him that 75% of the responses would be snarky and focusing on the delays in his comics, rather than actually reading the article to understand why. What a shame I was proved right.

I didn't notice anywhere near as many bloggers at panels this year as usual so I wasn't too surprised that there wasn't a lot of coverage. I was surprised at the lack of interviews with JMS coming from the con, though.

Just found this link posted. A memorial show about Jerry by his exec producer. Haven't listened to it but I don't think it was the show where Andrea and Claudia appeared.

JMS uploaded his Career Reel from SDCC. It's only available in the US apparently.
