Hey, FFF browncoats. Sleepy suze here.
Did Zol or Simonwho mention that Universal had a documentary crew covering Starfury Serenity con?
That certainly was exciting :-) !!
Who else got interviewed?
Anybody hear anything a about what's going to be done with the footage of our Serenity Trailer crowd scene? Watch for us on future advertising...
That'd be cool. Far as I know, it was all for the movie DVD, but it could well appear in other programmes about the series and movie before then.
Hmm... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yes... SHINY!
"My God - you're like a trained ape. Without the training."

Audience Question: Nathan, you're the captain of the ship and you're the leader of the crew. You're brave, tough, resourceful and very good looking. *Nathan does a pleased looking face and the girl asking pauses for a sec* How much of this do you attribute to the actor Alan Tudyk?
Everyone claps and cheers wildly.
Nathan, with mock serious face: Lady? You leave the funnies to me.
It was particularly gratifying as Nathan had managed to fool Morena again with fake flattery. Of course, she promptly fell for it again just five minutes later.
Fake flatery? Do tell the story!

They both came in, sat down and Nathan started complimenting her, how talented she was, how beautiful and how great she was to work with. Morena just took it very gracefully and then Nathan paused, looked at her and added "if you like eating horsesh**." Cue riotous laughter and Morena flapping with fury that she'd fallen for Nathan's wind-up abilities again. Although she did get to return the compliment to him later, being incredibly sweet about him and the way he welcomed her on the set and ... "if you like eating horsesh**."
Needless to say, that was one of the phrase that made it into the highlights of the week. That reminds me, must do blog before all those really cool small bits fall out of my head.

Slightly off topic but I'm desperate...
Anyone have any luck getting there hands on the WonderCon 2005 Serenity Panel Video promoted so prominently on the front page of this very site?
Would love to see it but everytime I try I get 'Service Unavaliable"

Ooh, baby, so much crammed into an eight-day trip and especially 3-day convention that my mind can't quite grasp all that has happened to me.
Fortunately (for me AND for everyone curious about the Strange Adventures of Suze & Sami) I have a daughter who has excellent recall and who also has excellent blogging skills.
Today, while she's been at school, I'm been uploading and editing photos. The hope is that Sami will find some time between excessive school assignments to blog her experiences whilst I find time to create annotated photo album.
But for you and my PA Shindig folk, here's the short, preview, "trailer" version of Serenity Con:
It was Firefly lovefest by day, wild disco party by night. The cast guests plus Chris Buchanan (sp?) were endlessly gracious and eager to encourage all manner of Browncoat devotion/ publicizing of Serenity. They were mercifully patient with us, with our questions and fawning all over them...and with the sweltering conditions in the Main Hall at Thistle Heathrow. God, everyone was melting. (Just be prepared to see sweat sheening off of every subject in my photos).
The established Starfury conventioneers -- delightful bunch -- were generally very welcoming and helpful to newbies of every nationality. And boy, were we a diverse bunch, from all over the UK and from several continents as well (everything you've ever heard about how Scots can party? Absolutely true. The Germans, the Dutch, the French? Yep, they know how to party, too.)
On Sunday there was a production crew from Universal, roaming around capturing the flavor of the event and the reactions of Starfury attendees. Sean Harry had mentioned to me on Saturday that Universal especially wanted to feature Americans who'd come all the way over for the 'Con, so I identified myself to the production persons and they interviewed Sami and me together. However, I'd no sooner finished an interview in which I claimed some responsibility for representing my PA Shindig and NYC buddies then I ran into another couple from New Jersey - that'd be Blackberry and her husband. So I dragged them over to the film crew, explaining that, well, I was wrong: Other NE USA folk were in attendance and here they are.
Eventually the other NJ people were interviewed also; I think they got the Texans and Utah peeps, too. But Americans weren't the only Firefly Fans of Interest to the Universal people; plenty of other Browncoats were filmed, too, so who knows what bits may eventually become part of a publicity piece or DVD extra (a "Trekkies"-type featurette??)
Let's see...what else to tell? I have photos of the winning Wash-a-Saurus costume entry, so I'll get that up eventually. Sami was Padme in the contest, but parading in front of the BDH's made her so nervous, she skipped in and out of the hall without letting them get a good look at her. Which is kind of a shame: She looked great. Not as good a costume as Jayne Statue, Wash-a-Saurus and spooky little River girl, but Sami looked good. Everyone loved the fake braids and long hair on her. People liked my Wild West Victorian lady the night before, too. Except, let me tell you, I absolutely did NOT look as Wild West as the Europeans did. Lots of CONVINCING cowpokes -- and here's something I didn't expect: They do country line dancing very convincingly, too.
I tell ya, DietCoke.
Those Starfury folk really know how to throw a convention.
(Tell MOH: I met some ex-pat Yanks and invited them to her house in October. Hope they make it!)
