But Do I Get to Meet Pat Sajak?

I received some very cool news yesterday.  Dinosaur Train, the PBS show I write for, was nominated for two Daytime Emmys!  Particularly cool is that one of the nominations is for Outstanding Writing in Animation, an award that goes to the writers on staff of the show.  On Dinosaur Train that would be creator Craig Bartlett, story editor Joe Purdy (he plays Mr. Disclaimer on the show — why oh why can I not find a picture online???), and… OMG, me!

It's seriously awesome.

My next question is whether Craig, Joe, and I get to go the actual shindig, which is here in L.A. in June.  I think it would be a blast, especially if I can avoid seeking out fellow nominee Caroll Spinney (Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, of course!), and making a fangirl idiot out of myself… which I've already done once in the past.

If I do go, would it be inappropriate to wear a giant Populazzi T-shirt?  Hmmm….

Huge cheers to everyone involved with Dinosaur Train, and to all the other nominees.  Special shout-outs to Kim Turrisi, whom many book-world people know from her amazing work with SCBWI.  Kim's web series, Venice, was nominated for Outstanding Special Class Short Format Daytime.  And I definitely have to give another shout-out to Craig Shemin, my writing partner for The Muppets Kitchen. He was nominated for writing Tasty Time with ZeFronk.  While I'm sure he's excited about the nomination, I think he's still more excited that he got to meet Mark Hamill doing the show.

Here's the full list of categories and nominees — any favorites on the list?
