Hey everybody, I'm back!!

I'm gonna upload my photos in a sec and then I'll link you to them.

Okay...for those of you who don't know... (ie anyone besides Hilary and Carol...) I'll tell you all about yesterday!

Okay, well firstly, we got Nathan, Morena, Summer, Adam, Gina and Joss. So Gina was there instead of Jewel. Jewel and Sean had to catch a flight to Dublin so they weren't there! But I was very happy Gina was there!!

One the train journey up there, I wrote Summer a letter! Well, I had 7 hours to kill.

Okay, so, as we got a little closer in the queue, I saw Summer through a gap in the crowd!! And then she saw me! Her face lit up and she waved and mouthed "Hi". Obviously I waved back, and then I blew her a kiss, and she blew me one back! I had tears in my eyes - I was so touched!

And as we got to the front of the queue, Summer saw me and my friend Jason (another big summer fan) and she said "It's my boys!"

There were loads of hmv security guards...and they kept rushing everyone - they used force! - and the whole thing was so rushed. They kept saying that they didn't expect many people to be there...but they were advising people all week to get there early because it was going to be so busy. There can't have been more than 300 people there.

And they also limited us to only ONE ITEM to be signed!!

So I thought, I'll get my Firefly set signed then... but I really wanted Gina to sign the group cast photo that everyone I've met so far has signed, so I thought I'd get Gina to sign that instead of the set.

So I had my photo with Mr Baldwin, and he signed my set.

Then I went to Morena and Summer! YAY! Morena had this really cool looking coat thing on, it looked like one of her companion costumers. And Summer looked A-MAZING! Totally stunning! So I put my set down for them to sign, and I spoke to Morena (VERY briefly!) and then I spoke to Summer! Woohoo!! I told her and Morena that we were going to see Serenity that night, and they were really happy. And I said, Summer I wrote you a letter on the way up her, and I gave it to her. It says "To the beautiful Miss Glau" on the envelope. And she said aww, and she took it, and then I asked if I could have a photo done with her, and as we were pushed for time (grrr) I went round the table and got between her and Morena, and had one with the both of them! But the flash didn't go off, so I had to stay there and wait *sigh* for the flash to warm up so we could have it taken again! Summer leant in closer to me, so I did likewise!!

Then Joss signed my set! It was all so chaotic that I didn't even get to speak to him! And I couldnt get a photo done with him, but I snapped a quick one of him...but I didn't realise the flash didn't go off so it's not that good.

Then it was onto Nathan and Gina!! Gina was so nice! I've heard it said she's not keen on conventions, but she seemed to be having a great time! Anyway, security were tyring to get us keep moving along, but I just ignored them and said "Jason can you take a photo of me with Gina and Nathan?" and then I knealt down next to Gina (She's so beautiful...I can see why shes called an Amazon, she's stunning.) and she pulled Nathan in, and snap! Then I was just about to leave, so I went to pick up my set and the group photo from the table, and I saw that Gina had signed the set, instead of the photo...then as I took it away, she said "Oh, I think I missed that one." and she took it and signed it, I was really pleased!!

Then we were haggled on!

It was so chaotic, and I think me and Jason were one of the few that managed to get photos with most of them, so I felt really lucky.

But, to be honest, the guys all seemed a little stressed! Adam looked quite miserable, not the chirpy happy guy I met in June! And Nathan looked quite knackered, and Joss was just confused! I think the whole thing was just poorly organised.

But the look on Summers face when she saw me, I could have gone home a happy man just with that.

Then in the evening we had the film! It was so amazing!

There were 500

Summer went up for the role of Kitty Pride (Joss' favourite character). Not sure if they have cast the role but I dont think she has it as shooting has started. And if she got the role, I dont think she would be able to come to Serenity2...

Oh, she didn't get it.

Matt, heck I had tears welling up when you called me after the signing yesterday so can just imagine the state you were in!! Just can't wait to meet everyone at Serenity 2!

Fair play to all the cast & crew for going to the screenings last night & doing talks when they must have been shattered.

Can't wait to see your photos Matt, shall expect submissions for the Photo 'Verse!

Our Matt will never be the same...she blew him a kiss...we've lost him.

I know he was pretty far gone to begin with, but there's no hope for him now.

Wow, Matt! Good for you!!!!

Now there wasn't anything in the letter that would require her to get a restraining order or anything, was there?
