Note, though, that apart from the TV Vampire(s)Takedown, all of the Paley Center events are screenings. While there’ll be a live panel at TV Vampire(s)Takedown, all the panelists and all the celebrities in the other panels are pre-recorded. They’re screenings of vampire-centric talks that have preciously taken place at the Paley Center. They’re awesome, but don’t go expecting Joss to be in the room.
