I forgot to mention the guy sitting behind Chric Buchanan that ws taking notes everytime the movie got a big laugh (busy guy) and the cameraman who was either filming or taking pictures of people watching the movie. God only knows what shots he got of me...goofily laughing, crying, finger up my nose, trying to wetwilly my wife...Okay...not all of those are true, and I'll leave it up to you to figure out which...

Flechette-definite get together in Sept! (and the passed around brownies were all mine, so that makes me feel good. Sue and Bob had banana bread, which I didn't get to try, but smelled all kinds of nummy.) Now that I know where you were sitting, I have a rough idea of who you are. Wish I'd caught you! (and did you hear me squeal like a girl when Chris called my name? I turned beet red after that!!)

Pez-stop, you're embarrasing me. It was nothing much. I was very thankful for the ticket. I am SO glad I got to go and you are just as Pezzy as I thought you'd be

Did everbody see Torquemada in his cunning Jayne hat and blue sun shirt? Didn't he look great? Hopefully I'll have pics to post soon.

I'm looking forward to seeing the final cut for so many reasons. I missed several lines of dialog because I was laughing or cheering or others were laughing and cheering. I know there were lots of little things I missed. Half the time I was looking at scenery or Serenity (she's changed a bit) or costumes or special effects and not the actors. Or listening to the music. The movie moved so fast that I didn't always have time to process what was happening or I was still recovering from the last thing that happened that I couldn't fully appreciate the next thing (esp. near the end when I think I experienced nearly every emotion known to man in about 5 minutes. Ugh, it still hurts.)
But this is a movie that can be enjoyed and savored over and over again. It still has the Firefly essence, you know? While at the same time being so much bigger. And shinier. OH, it was so great!!

Pezzy as you thought I'd be...What is THAT supposed to mean? Are you calling me a tiny little lump of colored sugar, waiting to be dispensed through your little piece of plastic candy hander-outer-thingy? Is that what you are saying? Is that it?

No really...How Pezzy am I?

Please...confusion is growing...the mind rejects what it can not comprehend. Tell me!!!

Heh...

LOVED them!!! I didn't thank you enough when I greedily grabbed the second one - hope that's okay - I think you had three people talking to you at the same time, so I just sped away back to my seat. Hope that wasn't rude.

You rock!

Now we're finishing this deal, and then maybe we'll come back for those morons who got themselves caught. You can't change that by getting all... bendy...

Aw thanks Standp! I'm glad you liked them. And I felt quite thanked enough last night, by you and everyone. The last brownie bit went to one of the theater workers and she said "You could put Mrs. Fields out of business." What greater compliment would I get? So, happy am I.

I accidentally ended up taking Ash's cookies home, and let me just say that they are quite delish. I ate several on the ride home. The sugar kept me awake I believe.

Browncoats like brownies.

Well, Pez, to be specific: I envisioned a man...with pez. What I saw was a man...with pez. So in that you were EXACTLY what I expected. The rest was just me teasing you.(I didn't know it'd be that easy!)

Ok, now it's MY turn to turn beet red! Thanks so much for this and all the compliments I got for my cunningly sittin' hat. I have to admit I was a tad sad to have to shed my Jayne-esque duds and don my normal boring office attire once again.

Thanks so much to Chris Buchanan for gracing us with his Big Damn Hero-ness and for making me giddy with the shout-outs, to WickedWren for all her hard work on the banner and being a fantastic hostess for the evening, and to CallMeSerenity and DrowZDragon for the absolutely scrumptious brownies and banana bread (respectively), and everyone else who made yummy stuff (didn't get to sample it all!). What a fantastic night! I had such a great time meeting everyone and just being a part of the gathering of Browncoats.

This was my second viewing, and I caught a lot of little things the second time around that I missed the first time. I agree with WickedWren, some shots, compared to the first screening, looked cleaned up (effects-wise), and the overall quality of the print looked cleaner and more polished. As to the content of the film, what can I say other than WOW. I absolutely love this movie. It does what I ask a movie to do, to carry me through a range of emotions, and it does it with wit and occasionally brute force.

I recall a question someone put to Chris B. regarding having the Ballad of Serenity Play in the credits of the film, and I think Chris said he would look into it. That's the only one I recall.

I am *so* looking forward to seeing everyone here in Raleigh for the opening night party, and maybe at another screening if they decide to have another one.

So that is where the cookies went!

Well that is better than me eating them. It was cool getting the shout outs. Why does everyone giggle when they hear my screen name? Oh well. See you guy at DragonCon and the NCBDMPP!
