Hi to everyone I met today!

I had a good day meeting Adam despite the lack of a Serenity booth.

I think I said that I had been told by one of the con organisers that Universal may have dropped serenity according to what he had heard.

But what he actually said was (possibly paraphrased):

'semi-officially UIP may have dropped Serenity'

UIP are not Universal but united international pictures the UK distributor of Serenity as far as I can tell. I've just reread the londonfilmandcomicon site and it seems Universal were never meant to be at the con, only UIP.

So I don't know if it's true but it's possible the UK distributor may have to be changed?

I don't know how accurate this info is but this is the impression I got off the convention organiser.

edited to add: Serenity is still on the UIP page so this may well be wrong.

Hi Heb - was nice to meet you, if only briefly! Thanks for the update - people going tomorrow are still hoping for a stand but think they're out of luck.

Cally - sorry we never managed to meet up but hope you had a great day!

oh wow a B7 reunion--when will they release the DVD in AMERICA!!!!!!!

Also, I can kill you with my brain.

I met Cally. It was a weird twist of fate. She stopped me to read my t-shirt...then asked if she knew from online...then we discovered that we did! Huh.

Well, I`m back, haven`t time to read through so many posts as I`ve got to be up again tomorrow to drive down to Crawley.

In summary,

Good to meet Adam, friendly guy & more than willing to pose for photos.

NO UIP Serenity Screeening Info or Freebies relating to Firefly/Serenity.

As there wasn`t much in the way of Firefly related stuff, the group didn`t stick together - this isn`t a fault, but spent a bit of time looking for everyone.

Thanks to StevieB & PrettyinPink, after leaving the Con, we went and saw Batman Returns & had an excellent meal in Central London.

And cheers to everyone else of course.

Now, I`ve got to go, still got some packing to do, and I was up at 3.30am this morning.

Darin (Zol.)

p.s. at least some of you got some freebies from me

Yes, thank you for those Zol.

Also, Fray, I didn't see I had a text until I was on the way home - thank you very much!

I'm sorry I didn't get to hang with you guys much... Beth isn't really a Firefly person and she was pulling me round and round and round.

Glad one of us managed to find Cally! And no worries about not spending much time with us - at least we got to meet up!

Spent way too much money on autographs but don't regret a penny! And of course I did get that freebie photo with Billy Boyd!
