Just got back from Lfcc. Meeting Adam was great. I managed to get a nice photo of him, just a shame there's a madly grinning doofus (me!) in the picture .

On the downside, there were no Serenity freebies, no trailer and nowhere to sign up for the preview! They kept saying Universal would be arriving at any minute, but they never turned up. According to a fellow attendee a problem had arisen and they couldn't attend. I waited until 1 o'clock incase they arrived late, but had to leave at that point. I am very disappointed. At least I got to see Adam.

I was so disappointed that there was no Serenity booth! I think a couple of the staff there got a bit annoyed when I kept coming up and asking them where it all was. Anyway, I was told that the company bringing the freebies brought War of the Worlds stuff instead and claim they (or at least their department) have no more affiliation with Serenity. I that what you were all told?

Has anyone heard any rumours (or better, concrete facts) that the promised freebies, trailer etc. will turn up tomorrow?? I have to make the trip from Reading and I can’t afford to do it unless I know there’s something to go for, other than the talk of course!

Still, Adam was SO nice!!! And he put his arm around me for the picture, which led to me wandering around in a daze for half an hour.

That’s it. I’m officially hooked on Firefly. Bring on Serenity2!!

Hey everyone!! Wow, how fun was that? Me and Beth hung round Adams queue for a while, talking to the guy in charge of it - who it turns out posted that handy thread that Fray has so kindly linked to! And then there was nobody in the queue, so we got to go up and talk to him!! So we were talking to him for about five minutes, and Beth got to meet him, and then he posed for a photo with both of us!

Although, sadly, I'm a little disappointed with my photos, they havent turned out as nice as I'd have liked, cos my cameras poop!

All the photos I wasn't bothered about turned out fine, but all the ones I wanted were a disappointment. Ah well, it was a fantastic day!

But, grr! NO Serenity booth, no new UK trailer, and no freebies! *Bitch!*

But, there was a list with the war of the worlds stuff to sign up for the preview info.

so i succumbed to it and decided to register! so helloo to everyone i did meet today. loffly to meet you all, but i think it was even more lovely to meet adam. the serenity booth was an optional extra for me, so meeting adam was brilliant. sadly i forgot to change the white balance in my camera, so all my photos look orangey-yellow!

I was told, by someone at the help desk, that Universal just hadn't turned up and they didn't know why.

Someone I was chatting to said the people on the War of the worlds desk had told him Universal had experienced a problem and had not been able to make the show.

No one knew whether they would be showing up Sunday.

I think, at very least, the organisers should have set up a preview registration list. Then they could have passed it onto Universal if they did show up on the Sunday.

you know what though, i dont think there's going to be another screening here, at least not in the near future, hence no real reason for a serenity booth. i cant imagine one popping up tomorrow either.

Hey stranger! Sleepy....trying to made my Charisma photos look even half decent! Hate to admit it but have already changed my photo at The Photo 'Verse!

I think it's pretty definite that there will be more previews - we'll just have to get our tickets another way now!

A couple of people have posted at LFACC about the stall - strangely nothing about Val's no show though!

Hey, just read the bit about the white balance - the guy I was talking too in the JB queue told to do that but needless to say I didn't bother too! So yes, a fair few of my photos are orange too although I've managed to edit most of them. Fortunately the Adam ones are fine (have one of you, well your back(!) about to meet him!)

If the organisers don't even know what went on then I guess it's unlikely there will be any resolutions by tomorrow. Still, I would be so annoyed if the booth did magically appear and I wasn't there for all the shiny things!

Hopefully that mailing list on The War of the Worlds stand might shed some light on how to get hold of tickets for any previews.

Hmmm, I wonder what happened with Val? There were some pretty disappointed faces in the crowd.

LOL! My sister's a bit jealous about the Billy thing - shame it's such a hideous photo of me! Still, the other ones came out OK so can't complain.

If anyone's got a half decent one of Charisma, please let me know! I think 2 of mine are actually in focus and she's looking down in both of them. So mad I didn't think to use the video! (or go back later when she was posing - apparently someone even used a flash!)
