I think it was on the Starfury site. Someone asked if people were going to attend the 'other' con. A couple of people said they had planned to leave Serenity on Sunday. Then someone left a note warning about missing two of the guests on the Sunday.

It's entirely possible I might have imagined the whole thing .

I will try and track the post down, but it may take a while.

It looks like I was talking complete nonsense, sorry. I could have sworn I read that though . I will put it down to my brain not functioning due to working nights.

A provisional schedule has been listed:

We've had a lot of people asking for a detailed schedule for
SERENITY. To be fair, it's impossible to present an accurate schedule
until a day or so prior to the event.

The schedule below should be seen as provisional, and STARFURY
reserves the right to alter and change this schedule without prior
notice.

Woah, there is something really weird about that. Very rarely do Starfury cons show so many screenings or put everyone on stage together at the same time and what on earth is a 'behind the scenes talk'? Please God let there be a preview of Serenity. Wishful thinking I know but a girl can dream...

I really should get me a signature

I think the morning screenings are purely to keep amused those who are immune to hangovers. The only gap long enough to show the film is on the last day and I don't think they'd do it then, surely?

Oh, and where did Clare Kramer coming as a guest appear from, didn't know that was happening.

Have to disagree with you that Starfury rarely show screenings to that extent. Its a staple part of their planning for most events.

Plus it is a PROVISIONAL timetable and subject to change. Hope as I may that the BDM could be shown at the con, Sean has expressly stated that there cannot and will not be a showing of Serenity at the con.

Don't build your hopes because they will only be dashed if it can't happen and people will think that the screening "might" happen. So you could disappoint them too.

As to a Behind the Scenes talk - I am as stumped as you and the whole guest panel is VERY unusual! I don't see that as a regular feature but again the BDHs might just want to appear together at least once in the weekend - who knows?

So many cons recently (US ones) have had the whole cast do a panel, maybe Sean thought we should too.

What's up with that, anyway?



The theme party for saturday is `Jedi`, so I guess that does include the rest of Starwars too - so does this mean chain bikinis & bun hairdos or are we talking about white bodysuites & blasters

p.s. I`m back! so many posts in just 3 days to go through - I should have sent a virus spike to close done the firefly/serenity sites for 3 days

Clare is not there as a guest, she is MC'ing the event, she does this at many Starfury cons.

Hi, I'm new. Or more accurately- I lurk. Anyway, I will be coming to London for the con all the way from Texas and I have a few London questions. Anyone willing to answer? Thanks in advance!
