Showed up a bit late for the Dallas screeing. I mean I was in time for the movie, but didn't realy get to mee too many folks. I was way at the back I had on my I Aim to Misbehave shirt & a black pearl snaps shirt. It would have been cool to figure a way to meet the other fff.net folks that were there. I met one lady but she posted on the "browncoats" board, so it was like "Oh, ok, cool" I enjoyed the movie, though I still wish they would choose Tulsa, even OKC would be cool. I might go again to Dallas. Not sure. Like I said I was at the back, so if there was someone passing out books I missed it. When I showed up someone was singing up in the front, but I was too far back to really catch what was going on. And it goes without saying that I would have liked to see one of the BDH's. Well, that my screening.... as for the movie....loved it!!!!!

Well, Yeah!
I was at the Dallas SP! I was in line right after you get thru the doors, before the line snaked around.
I got a ticket by way of a drawing, KestrelSempai had two tickets to give away. I was in the middle of moving and hadn't been able to get on line because computer was in transit. She had to call me to tell me I won a ticket and did I really want to go? (DUH!)
Thank You Kestrel!
Yea!
SO, anyway I was remarking how there sure were a lot of seemingly familiar faces, either from the boards or cons. I thought how funny it was how a few hundred people in a room probably all know each other a good bit, just not in person!

Also, I was going to wear one of my Inara outfits, but everything was in boxes and I couldn't find a thing. If I'd had any idea I'd get a ticket I would have kept one out for the screening.

Yeah, maybe we should have had a shout out of who was on particular boards. 'Course some like their anonymity.

I just have to say I don't think I breathed through half the movie. Did anyone else find themselves nearly faint? and not just because Fillion was on the big screen!

Sorry, I didn't get to meet ya! :{

I was also doing my best not to pass out from lack of oxygen. I was on the front row & my neck was absolutely craned.

I absolutely loved the movie, but that goes without saying. Hey folks, I went to the KC screening (complete with Buffy shirt) and the Browncoats there were so nice that I felt I had to come down here and say hello to you find people.

So, hello to you fine people. And thanks to the girl that sung "Hero of Canton."

Did you happen to catch who it was that was from Milwaukee? If so, e-mail me at

Maybe it's about time we got some official FFFn t-shirts? Portion of proceeds going to Haken for keeping this thing flying. Shiny: You listening?

That way, when somebody sees a Serenity logo t-shirt with a big FireflyFans.net on the back, they'll know they're in the best of company...

Succatash and I caught the Las Vegas screening thursday night. What a movie. An emotional roller coaster. I think I can safely say that without spoiling anything. I cannot give my reaction to the movie here though, only to the fans and the venue. We had a good group of folks around us. No cast or crew... that I saw, but we had a very pretty girl dressed up as Zoe who took everyone's breath away. I was glad to be near her in line. Vegas is fun. Didn't take our picture in front of the theatre, but plenty of other folks took it for us, so you might see us thataways. Succatash had the only Browncoat shirt. The one from the Serenity official site. He got asked where he got it more than a couple of times and had the ladies stroking him for a closer look at it. The sly devil. Also we had a fellow in a very fine Badger hat... and myself wearing a Blue Sun t-shirt. I got no stroking from the ladies, but then Succatash is much more outgoing and vocal than I am. I guess we waited for about 2 and a half hrs. Getting in to the theatre was strange, as I'd never been searched on the way into a movie before, and I felt sorry for the guys who had to stare out into the audience looking for illegal tapers. They had their backs to the show 99% of the time. There was a fellow there at the beginning asking us (everyone) questions about everything under the sun. There was only 1 guy who'd never heard of Firefly before he got there. I waited a few minutes then used that time as my last chance to go to the restroom. (I sure wasn't gonna leave in the middle) Much cheering ensued when Joss came on to give a prescreening talk to the fans. He is a funny fella, as always. Thanks Joss. As for the rest, Succatash was prolly the most vocal person there with his expletives. The remainder of my comments will have to be in a spoiler thread, so I'll end this here.

How frustrating to have gone to the screening and then come home and find my computer was down. Just got it fixed.

Anywho, saw the movie in DC. Great group of fans, laughing, whooping, cheering, etc, but in quick bursts so we woulnd't miss any dialogue. Morena was indeed there and so nice. She was there with her mom which I thought was so sweet. She signed autographs and I got a picture with her. She was just simply delightful.

Movie was simply awsome and quintissential (sp) Joss and that's all I'm gonna say.

It was great to be with everyone. My daughter looked at me afterwards and asked if it was weird that she felt like she was with family. Heck no was my response. We are all family. God I love us! And shout out to Placidity! Really enjoyed meeting you. Sorry you won't be making it to Dragon*Con. I'll tell you all about it.

Really? Jane Espenson was there? Shiny!
