Just delurking to say I'll be at the convention (and at the meet'n'greet too) and as I'm going on my own it'd be great to meet and hang out with some like-minded fans...

I saw Firefly the first time around on Sky and bought the DVDs as soon as they came out. I also got to go to the Serenity preview in Piccadilly the other week, and although I'm not supposed to talk about it publicly I don't dropping a few hints if you mail me or ask me in person! :D

I'm from Essex but will be staying at the Thistle (although having thought about it I need to upgrade to include the Sunday). Anyone else got a lightsaber for the Saturday night disco, or will I be the only one? ;)

Welcome Terranell, Mikelosaurus, and the other 'pretty new' people here.

Even if you're coming alone at the convention (as I am), we'll be among browncoats, so not really alone

I'm pretty new to Firefly, but a few month, I've met (online or not) quite a lot of fellow flans. Let me tell you they're a fine bunch!! So, no worries and I'll see you there!

Hey and welcome to all the latest people who've signed up for the con, can't wait to meet you all!

Zol! Having seen your Mal get-up (looks absolutely rockin, man ) I've realised that I really do need to consider a costume of my own, LOL. Unfortunately there's only so much that a 5'0" 17 year old girl can do with Firefly. Without getting exact duplicates of River's clothing that is, LOL.

Thanks, that was supposed to be my `don't mess with me face`

I think it`s going to be good seeing who comes as what - I don`t have a jedi costume although I did dress up as a jedi for Episode 1 and the photo made a 1/2 page on the fornt of the county paper

I should watch episodes like Shindig & Serenity (when the crew arrive at Persephone) provides a wide range of people and costume designs.

Looking forward to seeing everybody - I stil need to get some T-shirts made up from some of my designs for the tims when I`m not in the browncoat getup.

remember to say `Hi` i don`t bite ... much

Thank you for the lovely welcomes!

Zol your costume is amazing!

It's not long to go at all now- about 9 weeks I think.

I really do hope Adam doesn't have to cancel, but I can understand if he has to. If he does have to cancel, will there be time to get one of the others to take his place?

Jayne: ..there's something wrong with Inara's shuttle. She did something to it, Mal - it smells funny
Inara: I told you, that's incense
Jayne: That's what you say

I bet they'll have Jonathan Woodward lined up to step in if Adam can't make it. I might be wrong, but I think he's done that before.

I would love to see Adam there though.

Cheers fot the comments on the costume, I`d hope it gives people some ideas - eBay is a good source (everything there was sourced on-line in the UK apart from the eye patch)

I do hope Adam will be at the Con, I want to hear everybody singing the `Hero of Canton` song when he goes on stage - that`ll be fun

It might be worth mentioning (if people didn`t know) that Jonathan Woodward played `Private Tracey` in the `Messsage` episode.

I don`t have any idea of what the schedule for the con is for friday - can anyone comment? apart from the meet`n`greet in the afternoon (I hope there`s more than one bar `coz I aint one of the lucky ones) and then the party in the evening.

The meet and greet is in the evening, not the afternoon, and will be taking place most likely after the opening ceremony. The disco will start in the main hall at the same time as the meet and greet. The bar downstairs usually opens at about 5.00 pm, not sure what time the upstairs bar is open.

During the day, registration takes place, don't know whether there are any other activities planned yet.
