So, I did something dumb.

When The Academy announced a panel featuring Marcia Lucas (!!!!), Ben Burtt (!!!!), John DykstraDennis MurenJohn KnollHarrison Ellenshaw (TB94 Episode 18), Richard Edlund(TB94 Episode 19) and many more … I bought a ticket. And then it sold out.

The event was in Los Angeles on a Thursday and I, well, live in Dallas. So I booked a flight, flew out to California and ended up having the time of my life.

Here’s a fun, quick listen about my trip, both my experience and some snippets from the panel. It is probably the closest I’ll ever actually get to getting Marcia Lucas on this show.

And definitely check out The Academy and all of the great events they are doing: https://www.oscars.org
