Wow, never have made it to one of these 'till this weekend. There is so much STUFF to see. I'm a bit overwhelmed. I wish I had been able to get there earlier on Fri Night and seen the BDH's. Sounds like it was a fun time. However, seeing them Sat morning was a BLAST! It's clear that they really do dig making Firefly. Nathan, Jewel and Adam were fantastic. Told stories that made me laugh and tear up some, sang a bit of the theme song...it was great. The story about the big red button REALLY had me close to cry'n. (Alan took the big red button from OoG and gave it Joss as Firefly was done filming. Alan told Joss that when he needed them again, just hit it and they'd all come running back...)The room was PACKED too, folks were standing up along the walls it was so jammed. I'm sure that made the BDH's feel all that more appreciated. Heh, Nathan dubbed himself the biggest Fireflyfan in the world. I might have to agree w/ him there. He woulnd't shut up! Heh heh. He was crackin jokes about the trailer ( which I've not seen )and how it would sound if the voice over guy mispronounced everyone's name. Had to be there.
Some neat confessions about Jewel and Morena that Jewel told us. Jewel is so not Kaylee, in that she is such a 'girlie girl'. Jewel can't fix much of anything and seldom knows what to do w/ a set of tools. To contrats, Morena is more of a tomboy, prefers jeans and a t-shirt to fancy outfits. So when she gets all made up for Inara, it's as much as a role reversal for her as when Jewel gets all dirty faced for Kaylee.
Jewel says she was fascinated w/ the role of River, and that was her 1st choice. Curious to think about, Jewel playing the part of River. Glad Joss decided to go another way.
Gonna head on back to the Con in a while. This should be fun.
