Just don`t come wearing the following 
A Dark Suit & blue nitrile gloves 
A Blue Sun T-shirt (especially with River fans around) 
& of course don`t come dressed as a Beagle, you may just find yourself kidknapped & sold on another planet 
See you there.

I know what you mean about the "mini-con" feeling but we'll have to see, eh?
I must admit that it is by no means guaranteed that I will love or indeed even like it. I've been disappointed by hyped up movies before, even from film makers I trust, even when all those concerned have been merrily insisting that it will blow us away (Helllllllo Matrix Reloaded). I may very well walk away from the movie going "Pooey."
That would not change how good the TV show was, nor my appreciation of it. It would put a bit of a downer on my week, to say the least, plus there's always the possibility that it would be "fixed" in time for September but I have a feeling, one way or another, I'll know the truth in 48 hours.

Nope, I'll just be wearing the obligatory brown outfit
See you there!
I love my cap'n

I imagine that there will be test screenings where the majority of people have never heard of firefly. Just enjoy it and provide honest feedback.
I don't know anything about a mini-convention, but I also don't think there will be many people there who are new to the Firefly 'Verse.

I suspect that what Universal are doing is testing their two clear markets, sci-fi and action fans who haven't seen Firefly and are certainly not Buffy and Angel fans, and Firefly fans.
If Universal release the movie without having tested the established Firefly audience, they will be taking a huge risk. This is their core, their guaranteed cash, and they aren't going to assume that fans will go along with everything presented in the movie. This isn't TV where a badly handled storyline can be eradicated part way through. Joss has never directed a movie before, who knows whether he's going to be able to pull it off, where other TV directors have crashed and burned working on the big screen?
Universal need our opinions, because if we don;t like the film, we won't go and watch it again, and we won't recommend it to anyone. I know that if I told my friends and acquaintances that I didn't think much of the movie, they would think twice about going.
It's the same with any genre film, Universal know who their core audience are, and everything about this movie says 'risk' to them, so they need our input and re-assurance.

I'll be there at the screening tonight too although at the moment I'm just about to catch my train and I still don't know where exactly its going to be held! Mild panic is starting to set in!
Just hope I can make it to Pizza Hut on time!

I won't be at pizza hut, but I'll try to catch some of you guys in the queue and afterwards. I know its not a mini convention but it'll be cool to try to catch some of you. If any of you see a short girl, looks about 15 (pssh, I'm 18 this spring), obnoxiously pink trousers, white coat, purple bag... that'll be me. *waves* See you later. No brown coat for me unfortunately, LOL.

I'm so jealous of you guys! I hope you all have a lovely time! :D Don't forget your camera! Take lots of pictures of each other and enjoy the evening!
Oh, and then come back here and do lots of spoiler-free gushing, 'kay? :D
...still a little whimsical in the brain pan...
