The meet and greet is only for the first 170 ticket holders and if you are invited you will have received a letter in advance. If your number is above 170 you will not be able to attend. Sean is simply rewarding the people who bought their tickets first before any guests were announced.

The Friday will be very slow starting, there will be registration from 3:30pm and people will be milling around (usually able to buy 10x 8's etc for signing at that time. Nothing else is likely to happen at all unil the early evening. So everyone will be able to meet their friends in the bar.

The opening ceremony will probably start later than whatever time is advertised and the meet and greet will be after the opening ceremony.

The Main Hall will be shut for a little while to sort it out for the evening party but the bar etc will stay open. Then the hall will re-open for the evening party which will end late and celebrations will only finish when everyone disappears to bed (and some never do!).

I forgot to mention that tickets for the saturday photo session with the actors will go on sale at some point on the friday too.

I've been working on a design for a tee-shirt to wear for the con, especially for the informal bits during registration.

I want to announce who I am, in the hope that it will make it easier to find people with whome I've chatted on this and other boards!

I've put my first idea for a design in the Blue Sun room -

although now Zol is tempting me to change my mind....

Does anyone think there would be any problem in using the Serenity logo on a home-made, non-commercial tee-shirt?

I'd really like to know, too, that's what I want to do!

Stay shiny...

I seriously don't think anyone would have a problem with you using the logo for personal use and for promotion of the movie on your own tshirt.

After all the Browncoats help keep the show and the BDM in the public's eye everyday and use images and stuff to do it. Granted many of the really talented ones create new stuff - but who would you be hurting if you wore the logo for a con?

I don't believe Universal would panic. Its their gain rather than their loss at this point.

I am not advocating commercial production of images or merchandise here, merely saying that for the purpose of personal non-commercial leisure wear no one would worry.

I am so excited I am not sure I can control myself, now there is an opening line for a newbie!

I am going to the con as well. I have been to a few Starfury ones before but don't know many Firefly fans so I am a bit anxious about meeting people and such like.

They all have different crowds, the Buffy and Angel ones always had loads of really young people (especially girls) but most cons have more guys and a slightly older crowd. Anyone got any ideas about who will go to this?

Judging by who I saw at the preview screening, I'd say the attendees will be 65% female, 85% 18-25, brunette, dark coats and a tendency to stand around the BAFTA waiting room.

But that may just be extrapolating too far.

Any horns or fire breathing dragons, or is that just wishful thinking?

Are you sure your memory hasn`t been modified by heavy drinking ?

There was quite a moderate goth presence

no, seriously, there was a wide range of people of all ages, although I didn`t see many with grey hair (well, not until afterwards!)

Heavy drinking, moi? You'd never see me in a pub. Apart from that time you did. Er...

Yup, there's a broad sweep of people but that's my rough demographic. There was one girl with really stylised (and cool) goth makeup but I think the rest were a little more subdued. Hmm. Subdued goths. Doesn't seem right.

Ah, obviously too much for my little brain to handle.
