Calling all Daisy Pushers!! PUSHING DAISIES doesn’t come back until the Fall but it’s time we start doing our part to spread the word of the show to newbies. That’s where YOU come in.

Are you one of those crazy talented PUSHING DAISIES fans that just loves to create fanvids for the show? Well, then this contest is for you! ThePieMaker.com is asking fans to create and submit fan videos to help introduce the show to people that have not yet seen it. Show the world Pushing Daisies through your eyes.

What’s the best way to get someone to tune into Pushing Daisies when the show returns? Do you share the epic love story of Ned & Chuck? Or perhaps it’s the unrequited love of Ned & Olive. Maybe your video explains Ned’s unique ability to bring the dead back to life. Or maybe the charm of the Darling Mermaid Darlings. And don’t forget about Emerson Cod or all the alive-agains. What ever the subject matter, it’s up to YOU!!

When we created ThePieMaker.com we wanted to not only help promote our favorite show but help bring awareness to various causes and charities in hopes of getting readers to give back in the name of Pushing Daisies fandom!

Since 2002, ThePieMaker.com’s own Dan has been riding his bike (a lot) to raise money for HIV/AIDS awareness, education, and prevention. He’s raised over $15,000 for various AIDS organizations and peddled over 1,100 miles to help bring an end to this devastating pandemic.

This September he’ll once again get on that 4″ bike seat and ride up to 10 hours a day from Gettysburg to New York City as part of Braking The Cycle 2008.

All of the proceeds go to Braking The Cycle’s beneficiary The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York City which has been working since 1983 to educate and prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS.

ThePieMaker.com wants to help Dan raise $4,000 by the end of the summer and we need your help!

If you can only donate $1 to the ride, that’s amazing - every dollar counts! If you’re capable of giving more ($10, $25, $50 and up) that’s just as incredible. Each and every donation is appreciated and goes toward saving lives and preventing the further spread of HIV/AIDS.

I hope you didn’t think our coverage of the PUSHING DAISIES panel at this year’s Paley Festival was over! It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to really celebrate the show, so we wanted to make sure we shared as much as we could for those of you who weren’t able to attend.

To that end, we decided to do our second Pushing Daisies Piecast Podcast - this one devoted to our Paley experience. Among other things we discuss some of what we learned during the panel, some thoughts on Season 2, and our experience with the cast on that great night.

And when you’re done don’t forget to VOTE HERE for ThePieMaker.com as your favorite Pushing Daisies fansite.

If you’ve been following our coverage of the Pushing Daisies Paley Festival panel then you know we’re planning on doing another Piecast Podcast to chat about how incredible the evening was but we couldn’t help get some information up after all the emails we’ve received.

The Piecast will hopefully be ready for Monday night as we’ve decided to hold out until after our visit to the Writers Room in the afternoon in case Bryan Fuller and Co. give us any scoop we can spill to all the fans. Fingers crossed gang!

As we’re really trying to save our thoughts until the Piecast, we decided it would be a good chance to have some of our loyal ThePieMaker.com readers in attendance share their thoughts with you all!

First up is Patricia from San Diego (who oddly enough happens to be the Sister of my friend Jenny, strange but true) who attended the panel with her husband Michael. Patricia’s got a ton of quotes from the panel as well as some fun tidbits that the cast and crew shared. Some of our burning questions are answered as well. Ever wonder if Ned is a Vegetarian or if Ned & Chuck could ever possibly have a baby? Well, read on…

Second will be reader Erika with a quick take on what it was like to be a fan and aspiring TV Writer in attendance of her favorite show.

Take it away ladies…

We’ve already posted a bunch of the official Paley Center images from last night’s Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Panel but here are the one’s that Kath and I took during the session as well as during the fan signing.

For full disclosure, our microtrack was confiscated and our cameras bitch-slapped out of our hands by Security (we were in the front row so apparently it was distracting) even though they made no announcement but whatevs…

*Share your thoughts on your favorite pictures in the comments section because you never know who’s reading!

Hey gang, Kath and I just returned from our fantastic night with the cast and writers of Pushing Daisies. As you know, they were on hand for Night 2 of the Paley Festival and a sold out crowd welcomed Bryan Fuller, Peter Ocko, Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Chi McBride, Kristin Chenoweth, Ellen Greene, Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks as well as the fraktastic writing staff for a night we surely won’t forget.

It’s almost 2am here in Los Angeles and we just returned from the after party with the cast and writers who are just a divine group of folks who are incredibly honored and humbled by all of the fans and the love we and other Pushing Daisies sites put out there.

We’ll write more later, post some pictures, some audio, video and even have a podcast ready over the next day or so. Big huge emotional heimlich’s to all of ThePieMaker.com readers who stopped us and chatted. You guys/gals are rock stars and it was amazing meeting you all. Check back later, but for now it’s bedtime!
