I think someone needs to have a word with your mother!

I can understand the temptation - great event/holiday rolled into one. Kind of expensive so soon after Serenity2 but hey - your call! Would certainly be a once in a lifetime experience (just checking out the website now! Not that there's any way I could go, but just curious)

I'm really in two minds about the LA con...it'd be expensive, but I could afford it...but its so much, think what else I could do with the money....on the other hand, theres a chance the whole cast could be there...and that would be so special, I may never get that chance again, plus, LA, would be cool...

Oh!

What your witnessing here is the internal struggle of my mind.

I like the way you think Zol...

The main thing getting in my way is accomodation!

Grr...arg!

I know! Lets set up a charity, or a prjoect... find Matt a family who live near the Westin Century Plaza hotel to take in him for a few days!

Ok, I don't check for 24 hours and look what happens!

I must admit to reading about Adam on the Starfury boards but it was only when I went on the LFACC site that I realised that this was where he was going to be.

I gotta say that I really feel for the Quor'toth people and IMO this is VERY underhand. I would imagine that Sean is fuming and rightly so.

I've also heard from a very reliable source that Joss is definitely not going to be there.

Fray I gotta say I'd get one of your wallpapers signed I know from personal experience the stars react different if you put something that you've made/drawn in front of them.

PR I'm hoping to get to LA in December as well but I have to sell my house first!!!

I wonder where joss will be if hes not going to be at either con - we can still hope, afterall, it is quite a major event and the Serenity Comic will be out soon.

The continuing saga of Adam...

Stevie B's posted this over at the Universal Board (what do we can that one again? Anyway, you know the one). Anyhow, this throws a slightly different light on matters:

Quote:
Dear Showmasters forum members, Giggle and Rowan, and event promoters using this forum for their own ends.

It saddens us to yet again have to make a statement and waste our time quashing slanderous rumours about our behavior within fandom, and deal with negativity which only serves to spoil the guest announcement. People often do not realise that the guests themselves do sometimes read these forums and the garbage written about their appearance. Could it be that some of these so called fans actually want the guests to be put off from attending this or any other event at all?

So here is the truth. In the early hours of the morning on June 2nd we were contacted by Mr Baldwin's appearance agent, a company we have worked with several times before. Mr Baldwin had been approached about possibly attending an event and meeting the fans of Firefly over here, however we were informed that the offer to appear at this convention had been withdrawn by the organiser. I was also told the reason for the UK convention organiser withdrawing his offer was down to an imposed deadline of the 1st of June for Mr Baldwin to decide on his flight days. The organiser gave Mr Baldwin an ultimatum, to fix his schedule by the end of the day or the offer that had been forwarded to appear at the convention would be retracted. The organiser felt he could not delay in booking his flights as available seats for that time were running out, however as it was apparent that Mr Baldwin's shooting schedule for his new show had not yet been fixed he would be unable to confirm anything at such short notice. The convention organiser was informed of this and was asked if he could be a bit more flexible. Unfortunately it seems he felt this was not an option and did retract his offer to Mr Baldwin, withdrawing his offer.

This information was related to us, as well as the fact that Mr Baldwin and his family were hoping to take a trip to Europe and were looking forward to meeting fans in the UK before the offer was withdrawn. His agent asked us if we were willing to book him for LFCC to replace the previous offer, on the understanding that his flights needed to be booked as late as possible to fit in with his shooting schedule. We checked that the previous convention offer was definitely dead in the water, and were assured that it was definitely over, as was confirmed to the agent by the previous organiser himself. We were also informed that the previous offer had never been formally accepted and permission had not been given to announce Mr Baldwin's potential appearance. It was only once we knew there were no conflicting offers or confirmed appearances that we decided to take up the offer of Mr Baldwin's appearance at LFCC.

On a personal note we are sorry that this statement needed to be made, but we felt we should let those of you who always look upon us as the aggressors know that this simply is not the case. We have been accused of aggressive practices before and have been vindicated every time (for example over Chris Judge and Corin Nemec). Let us make this clear, these accusations will always be wrong, poaching is something that we would never do and never will do and these lies you are feeding other people just make you look stupid. Please don't let other organisers manipulate this forum to save their reputations or to cause trouble.

Parade in honour of my birthday? Perhaps lead by Summer riding an elephant?

ok - 'tis a long and winding thread now

besides this bizarre and frankly slightly disturbing idea any other thoughts???

my brain ain't in full thinking mode today so i'll just ramble and maybe someone'll make some sense of it all

- still not sure whether i can make it to the con - as i'm not interested in autographs i wouldn't go for that it'd be cool to meet some BDHs though if they do any talks - even if Joss doesn't come is it likely they'll be something else?

just about managing to play hero of canton on the guitar so that could be fun

or i could just wander round all day supplying browncoats with chocolate and jam - THAT could be interesting

Becs, the Browncoats/Chocolate thread can now be viewed here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=10334

(just don't ask...our minds tend to drift!)

Thought you were at Glastonbury that weekend?
