You know I love The Wire. And thus I was quite excited to see that The Museum of the Moving Image in New York City is holding a symposium about my favorite Baltimore show entitled Making The Wire.

The panel will feature a conversation with David Simon, novelist Richard Price (who wrote five episodes), and cast members Seth Gilliam (who played Sgt. Ellis Carver), Clark Johnson (city editor Gus Haynes), Lance Reddick (Lieutenant Cedric Daniels), Wendell Pierce (Detective William Bunk Moreland), and Clark Peters (Detective Lester Freamon).

Sigh, I love then all! I am super upset that I am in Ohio and have to miss it - so if you’re in New York City, you should definitely go!

To get prepped for tomorrow (or if you live elsewhere and can’t attend) I recommend you takepart to read a great interview with David Simon, takepart again to read a great interview with Michael K. Williams who plays Omar and takepart one more time to read a great recap and lots of great comments about the show and final episode.
