Ah...just finished work. I was so depressed to think that I could have been shindigging at the time... plus my boss shouted at me. And I had to cycle.

How is everyone?

Oh, and I know this is very late, my favourite X-Man is Storm.

And I'm loving reading these summaries of Sereni-TREE that TRM has been doing.

No arrests that I am aware of. The table was still there today while I wasn't, though, so anything could've happened while I wasn't there to look after them all and wear my Jayne hat all gorram day long.

It was definitely the busiest table in the whole hall though. Between the few brief periods when there weren't so many folks around, the table was two to four rows of audience-ers deep. The trailers, the posters, the freebies and the hats just kept 'em coming. Some of the people kept coming back for another look. A lot of passers-by gladly took flyers and brochures, even when I was handing them out. I don't think the Jayne hat helped then so much.

Oh, and Clare and the Wash-O-Saurus put in an appearance. She was in that thing all day. A real trooper.

*jealous*

Dr. EvilPants, can I join you in your dastardly plans for a little while? It'll help me forget that I'm on the WRONG SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC. I could be your Apprentice!

I've never tried to be evil before, but I'm pretty sure I can be good at it. I mean, bad at it, I mean..shoot.

Freebies: postcards advertising the show, movie or fan made stuff; the posh flyers we all got at Starfury Serenity; even posher brochure things telling about Joss, Firefly and the cast to those that need it told; matchbooks from UiP (yes, those little flip books of matches, no idea why they thought those were a good idea); a CD with trailers, poster pictures, Comic Con and Wizard Con videos, The Signal podcasts and the soundtrack sample mp3s on it...

That was pretty much it.

For sale were: DVDs of Comic Con and... some other con that I don't know; a few of the Firefly DVD sets; Serenity comics; badges, magnets and keyrings; copies of the 'Finding Serenity' book (I got one!); fan art by Pauline and Clare (they looked brilliant!); Jayne hats, of course (shiny!); and SloopyJon's Mal pistol (I got one!) and Jayne pistol.

I can't remember if there was any more.

Plus, there was an LCD TV showing the first two trailers on loop the whole day. It got a lot of attention

Dastardly plans? Why would you think that I had spent the entire weekend drawing up dastardly plans?

Not that I have been, oh no. I've been, er, dusting, yes, that'll do, dusting.

Snigger - you will never know....

But (as I've posted elsewhere)....WE LOVE YA!*

Welcome back!

I was sorry I couldn't make it too. Yesterday at work was so depressing!! I kept thinking, I'd be at the shindig now!! And I had to miss a friends birthday party in London the night before too.

But I'm sure there will be more times. Maybe I'll have a shindig, so what if I don't have a house, I'll wait until my nan goes away and then invite everyone round there.

Although Dr. Evil might not want to come, I don't think he appreciates Bognor's true beauty!!

So Anthony won eh?! Surprising. Well maybe not, it was hardly gonna go to "Kinga with a bottle in her thinga" was it?

Ooh, and I'm thinking of applying to Plymouth university next year, and moving there. I fell in love with the seaside town last week.

Well, I bought a huge batch of Mini Creme Eggs then opened up all the packets and removed all the duds (the ones where the eggs had turned into that horrid goo or broken). At this stage in the Creme Egg season, you are looking at a 50% survival rate and I wanted you fine people to only have nice ones.

*wonders what you thought I did with them*

And come on, details!
