“Last year I had the pleasure of moderating the Doctor Who panel at Wondercon, and saw some amazing booths & people walking the show floor. At the time, I had only wished that this Con was closer to where I live in L.A. With the news that it had moved to Anaheim in 2012, I can only infer that I willed this into reality. Naturally, I’m super-excited–both for the southern migration of Wondercon and my weird new psionic power.” -Chris Hardwick.

    Im so excited for this, but I live way to far away (as do many other Nerdist fans). Is the any chance you guys could put a full video of the panel up on the Youtube page. I think it would get many hits from Nerdist fans and its awesome because people would be watching a video on the Nerdist Youtube channel and be learning what is coming up on the Nerdist Youtube channel. I would love to see video of this panel, so why not make it official Nerdist video of the panel. Im not asking for fancy, just one camera seeing the stage. Please try to do for fans not in CA. Thanks
