Talk about your one-liner opportunities. Taking off from the crazy speed-dating phenomenon, the Writers Guild has come up with something called "Speed Partnering," in which WGA members (and it is a members only event) will pair up at tables for five-minute interviews. When the bell sounds, it will be time to switch tables and meet the next writer. "No need to bring your samples or resumes - just an open mind and serious interest in teaming up," the WGA says of the June 23 yack-athon. They're serving coffee, which is certain to come in handy.
