Reports from this week's 2020 target consultation meetings suggest
that Nick Smith and Tim Groser (replaced in Christchurch by Adrian
Macey, NZ's climate ambassador) have had to face up to pretty solid
support for a 40% target. Greenpeace laid on a star-studded night in
Auckland (Jim Salinger told me today he enjoyed his date with Lucy
Lawless), and there were certainly plenty of Sign On and 350.org people
in the Christchurch session, as well as another voluble Gareth. The ODT
and 350.org.nz report that Dunedin was much the same.

San Diego Comic-Con 2009 Interview Planning
San Diego Comic-Con, the Mecca of all comic book conventions, is fast
approaching. (July 23-26.) Of course, I'll be attending and covering it
for my podcast, Comic News Insider (Sponsored by Dynamic Forces with a
weekly global audience in the thousands.) Normally, this is a more "go
out and party with friends" type con as it's so overwhelming trying to
get interviews with folks. That's why I usually do more interviews at
smaller shows. However, this year, I have been getting contacted by TONS
of TV/Film type PR peoples about setting up possible interviews. You may
remember last year how I got most of the cast of Pushing Daisies thanks
to good friend of the show, Bryan Fuller (the series creator). His
publicist also hooked me up with other Warner Bros. shows.
This year, I wasn't sure what to expect. I have contacted a few on my
own that are possibly going to happen out there. Felicia Day, Amber
Benson and a follow up with Brea Grant. But suddenly, my inbox is being
inundated with interview requests from publicists/PR folks representing
such folks as Lucy Lawless, David Tennant, John Barrowman, Big Bang
Theory cast, Fringe cast, Robert Englund, Julie Benz, Tim Burton, The
Middleman cast, Seth Green, Walt Disney studios, various video game
companies, and so many more. I'm literally getting about 10 emails a day
from various people. Honestly, I don't expect to get many of them. But a
few would be great especially the BBC types as I don't know when I'd get
an opportunity with them again.
