I'd risk time away from in front of my precious TV to spend time on the other side of the glass.

Dear God, please don't live blog it. The sort of corporate/star-based spin that will be from it needs time to be molded into individual stories and clever quips from the TVSquad editor(s)/writer(s) need to be inserted.

You should definitely go. But you should definitely keep a sense of humor about it. One of the best parts of this blog.

I thought that these events were tight lipped and private. That we wait until the fall to see the shows. And that wait of 27, 28 to 35 days, even a staggering 42 or 48(!) days when they announce it on August 24 or 25 during summer reruns of the premiere date--I've noticed this every summer since 1985 and 1986. So I don't really pay attention to these press conferences. I wait until the big premieres of the new shows in mid September.

I'd rather read about it in my air conditioned room than go spend three weeks in LA (during the summer.)

I think the only thing better than doing the Press Tour would be doing it on someone else's dime, since I understand that at least for the winter tour the critics pay their own way. That said, and setting aside the inevitable likelihood that one is going to every conceivable (and some inconceivable) manner of spin from experts, going to the press tour has to be one of the best things about being a professional TV critic.

I think Press Tour is every tv fans dream. I like how TvGuide blogged it minute by minute, but Ausiello's in love with himself attitude can be a little annoying. Plus if an actor's gonna be a brat like Ming Na, she totally deserves her own failure slogan.

Press tour is ultimately a job but there's no reason why it shouldn't be fun too. I mean it's a tour about tv. Can't get better than that.
