Hi! I like most linguistic play, which is, of course, one of the reasons why I like Joss Whedon stuff so much, like you I suspect. I speak other klanguages as well but am not as adept at them as these two. I'm one of at least five Dutch browncoats attending this shindig and some of them are my age and others are younger. I like the variety too.
What type of helpfull hint about England, or to be more specific, London would you like? I have been in London quite a few times in my life and love it very much. It helps, for instance to have punds sterling to exchnage for goods as dollars may not be accepted. :) Just kidding, I think that bit of info may be superfluous. 
By the way I envy you your energy level that enables you to raise children. Well... not envy, as that implies I don't want you to have any, but just a tinge of green is definitely there. :)
Robyn.

Funny to return home and read your message about energy and having children. I just came home from the gym, where I ran into a neighbor of mine and found that she's expecting a baby. Both of her other children are teenagers! I'm so jealous I could spit. If things were different, I would like to have had a whole household full of kids. Samantha used to have a younger brother, whom she misses very much (as do I).
Oh well. Life goes on. Enjoying other people's children has it's charms, too. That's why I like teaching, and being the rogue Auntie that I am.
I hope you have opportunities to be a Fascinating Influence on Other People's Kids

Hi Fireflysuzie
My family will be at Serenity, Fred and I are in our late 40s, and the children are 10,12 and 16. Cat my daughter is 12 but looks older. We've been to a couple of Sean's conventions before, both in Blackpool, but the children came along to all the evening stuff with us, no problem. No blatant drunkeness or bad behaviour at least in the earlier part of the evenings so you've nothing to worry about there :=) Some of the jokes at the talks could maybe be regarded as off-colour by good parents, but that's what makes them funny, and in my experience, either the children don't understand it at all or sadly they find it hilarious too. Glad to hear of people travelling all that way to the UK, increasingly I'm thinking of getting to the US for the end September for the premiere (not the real thing, but just to be with other browncoats - I really don't think I could wait the extra two weeks or whatever). Need to try and persuade my company it's time they sent me to the Reston office!

Another Yank flying over despite the ever-more-depressing exchange rate! Maybe we can swap our twins/doubles for a quad room (do they have those at the Heathrow Thistle?) I wonder, do quad rooms have two bathrooms? Because four people sharing facilities would be inconvenient enough without one of the four being a teenager. EEk. Never mind.
They do have quads in the Thistle, but not many, so I'd suggest you contact the hotel now. And no, they don't have two bathrooms - sorry.

Hey - when did they confirm Adam for this event (just looked on the site and there's his name)? Have I been asleep or something, maybe I'm dreaming now?

Also sort of replying to my own post which is bad, a note about the price rising to 75 GBP from 1st Feb which I didn't see before. Perhaps they are just testing?

Hi Suzie,
I'm so sorry about the loss of your child, One of my best friends lost her son and she, her husband and their daughter miss him very much still, which is natural of course. They talk about him and he is still very much part of their lives.
I enjoy other people's kids too, and am a rogue auntie as well as a real auntie, my brothers live on opposite sides of the globe though, one in Singapore and one in Seattle. I don't know about fascinating but i definitely have influence of some sort. :)
Robyn.

Hi!
Adam comming to Serenity has just been announced by Sean, the convention's organizer. It's his christmas present for us :-)
Now, who am I... Delphine, 25, living in Strasbourg, France. Studied biology, sociology & history of science, got no job but two cats and "nearly" a horse. I've discovered Firefly in March 2004, have bought two DVD sets and have recently been called The Converter
I've been to two other Starfury conventions (Senior Partners and The White Room) which I enjoyed a lot. Very much looking forward to Serenity!
