Hello Browncoats.
Just got back from I-CON. It was great. FINALLY I got a chance to meet a BDH and had a Big Damn Time.
Jewel was exactly as I thought she would be, friendly, interesting, funny, and entertaining. She told some funny stories, including the story of her and Nathan giving each other the finger, starting from him doing it to her on set to her getting the entire Dragon-Con audience to give it back to him.
While on line for her autograph I talked a bit with her husband Matt. He seems like a great guy, which is what I've read from other Browncoats that have meet him an other Cons.
I also talked with Keith R.A. DeCandido, the writer of the novel for Serenity. What can I say, another nice guy.
If anyone was there and recorded her Q&A and can upload it, please contact Haken to host it. I know everyone that couldn't go will enjoy seeing it.
Hopefully the other BDHs will do cons in the NYC area.
Later

Hee hee. I was there for that one. What a hi-larious stunt. She didn't mention if Nathan's tried any retribution on her for that yet, did she? That's a tough one ot follow up, but if anyone can pull it off, Nathan can. I'd love to be there when he tries.

She said that he hasn't but he's probably coming up with something to top it, but it will be pretty hard.

Oh, I'm betting it involves a red carpet, dozens of teevee cameras, and Joan and Melissa Rivers...
...and the FCC will probably also get involved...
"Bye now. Have good sex!"

I already posted this on the OB, but I know everyone uses different boards, so here is my report on I-Con.
Well, this was my first convention ever, except of course, for the corporate types, which don't count. What can I say.....I had a very shiney time! It was great to see friends from the PA Shindig, Cephme, MOH, as well as all my fellow NYC Meet-up Browncoats who worked the table, Tzegha, Pol1, Clandestiny, and Whedonesque, the last two who road up with me to Stony Brook.
First of all, let's give a great big thanks to Pol1 (Polly) for organizing our fan table. I know you put so much time and energy into this project and I must say I was very proud to work at our table, it looked great! I'd also like to thank all those who didn't go, but sent in fan videos, posters, and all the other give-aways. It really helped draw people to our table. Also, a big thanks to Cephme who brought me a copy of “Finding Serenity” so I could have it signed by Keith and Jewel.
And speaking of Keith, thanks Keith for joining us at the table and playing host at the Shindig. You are too funny....are you sure you didn't miss your true calling as a stand up comedian?
Okay, first impressions. The first thing I noticed as we drove up to the campus was all the people in costumes. Wow! Some were really professionally done. There were some costumes that were...well...interesting...but I just wasn't sure what look they were going for... The stand out was the short person in a large, yellow, round costume with a head piece that looked very similar to a large chunk of cheddar cheese that had begun to mold. I was a bit confused why anyone would want to spend their day looking like a piece of moldy cheddar cheese, but hey, maybe it was just to amuse people like me!
Speaking of costumes, Tzegha, dressed as Kaylee, and Ray, dressed as Captain Tightpants, and they were just too cute. Next year I think we should prop the two of you up in a corner with a sign above your head that reads, “Yes, we are cute and of course, you can take a picture of us!” How many photos were taken of the two of you anyway?
And Ray, the look of joy on your face when you showed us your latest purchase of white, fuzzy, bedroom slippers with bunny rabbits on the toes! Now these were not just ordinary bunny slippers, these were evil bunny slippers that when you opened their mouths they had fangs. Ray, of course, proceeded to attack everyone in sight with his new fuzzy bunny slippers.
Well, I must have passed out more than a dozen, fliers about our NYC Meet-up Group. We’d love to have more people join our group so if you are a lurker, please join us!
Okay, favorite stories from the wrongly advertised “Firelfy Fan Forum (supposed to be Shindig)”... Thanks to Whedonesque who said “let’s go up and get a picture” we were the first to find ourselves at the back of the room with Keith and Jewel during the “Firefly Fan Forum should have been a Firefly Shindig.” Others saw Jewel and started to follow. In order to make room for others to see them I kind of moved to the back of the room which placed me between both Jewel and Keith. They obviously knew each other (I think????) and I enjoyed just listening to each of them tell stories.
Jewel is very funny and had lots of great stories to tell at the Q&A about the running joke between her and Nathan and giving each other the finger. One of the stories that I hadn’t heard before was when Nathan told Jewel that he had a present for her and presented her with a small box with a ribbon on it. When she opened it Nathan’s finger came out of the box (he had cut a whole in the bottom of the box!) Another prank that Jewel played on Nathan was when she sent a card to him pretending to be an obsessed fan. On the card she wrote how much she loved him and couldn’t live without him and if she couldn’t have him no one could. She then dropped the letter in his mail box so Nathan would know that this fan knew where he lived. Well, when he opened the card, he of course, read the note, and then opened the third fold of the card, which produce
