Ray is going to do a panel at Comic-con with Ray Harryhausen and Sam Weller this year, 4-5pm in room 6CDEF. I shall be in attendance. | |||

I hope he doesn't encounter any unpleasantries from certain other groups there. Email: ordinis@gmail.com | ||||

Nico, now just who do you have in mind that would be having a problem with Ray Bradbury? I can't imagine such a thing! | ||||
|
And afterwards they will be signing in booth AA2, but that may change to AA1 for convenience sake. John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

I was there in the second row and loved their appearance! Ray B was animated, energetic, and enthusiastic. It was a pleasure to see. The entire panel was really good, though I thought it too short. Sam Weller and Ray Harryhausen's assistant (Great guy who's name I can't remember. I've seen him many times.) kept the flow going nicely. Though I've seen these two multiple times (I live in San Diego) this was most definitely a highlight of the Con for me. | ||||

yup, I took some small videos with my digital camera, probably post then on youtube in a day or two. | ||||

Ray H's aid is Arnold Kunert. John King Tarpinian You know what you are, Mr. Bradbury? ... You are a poet! -- Aldous Huxley | ||||

jkt: WHAT!!? Sam Weller was at the COMIC CON? I was in the San Diego area most of the day. If I had known Sam was REALLY going to be there, I'd have figured-out my way in. | ||||

Okay, here are a couple of videos from the lecture, Ray telling his inspiration for writing F451, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aKItfLeso4 and his meeting with Katharine Hepburn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU8MuRQNIRA more to come later.... | ||||

Thank you for putting these videos on the site. I really enjoyed listeneing to Ray tell his inspriations, and he seemed so alive and well and on his game this day. Thanks again. | ||||

Here are the last two: Ray speaking on the censoring of Farehneit 451 that was discovered by high school students http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smyvm7CHC6s Ray speaking on whether we are a surveillance society, and the struggle between democracy and totalitarianism http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YVbeCGLBh8 | ||||

You're welcome patrask. He did seem really on top of his game and had some really interesting things to say. I loved when he said that his characters were himself. I always kind of thought that about authors. I know that they do get inspiration from people around them, but it always seems like it's different aspects of themselves personified, as well. | ||||

It was a great panel. As usual Comic Con counter-programmed everything, so when you attend one panel, you're missing two more that you wanted to see. I'm so glad I chose the two Rays. They were even better than being up realy close while the new Supergirl was being introduced. (What a hottie!) :-) Haha. No contest really. Sam and Arnold were both great and it's plain to see they both really love the two giants. (Is there a way to save the youtube videos to my hard drive?) Cheers, Bill
