San Diego Comic Con 2008 - The Pushing Daisies panel

On Saturday, we put a lot of effort into making it into the Pushing Daises panel (on the plus side, the panel preceding it was very interesting, so it wasn't a bad thing that we ended up sitting through that one as well).

The full cast showed up, along with show creator Bryan Fuller and executive producer Barry Sonnenfeld. This post is mainly meant to link over to my extensive Flickr photoset from the panel. Some highlights:

Lee Pace and Anna Friel being embarrassed by Barry Sonnenfeld as he tells the story of how they talked a director into letting them play the kinetic (and potentially calamitous, in context) card game Snap during an establishing shot for an episode.

Kristin Chenoweth singing part of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at a fan's request. She must be primarily made of lungs, because her voice is amazing and HUGE.

Bryan Fuller answering a question. The majority of audience questions came to Bryan, often from fans of his earlier shows such as Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me.

Also, Chi McBride is a very, very funny man.

Lee Pace explains that acting roles do affect you emotionally, and that's one reason he likes Pushing Daisies so much -- he goes home happy. Throughout the panel, people emphasized that a core concept of the show is that you're just happy to be watching it.

This was a fun panel, filled with people who seem to be happy to be working together and working on the show.
