I translated this famous speech to chinese and back again. Can you guess what it is?
We minority, we are happy minority, we unify brothers; For his that shed his blood and I today am my brothers; Is his ne' er very vile, this day will pat his situation; And the gentlemen now the bed will think accurs' in England; d they are not here, and causes their manhoods cheaply to wear down any says that fight with us in 圣徒 Crispin' s day
--Ballad
They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky, and they remember what they are.

Hm.. California is cool , we'll be in Burbank- not much to see there. Go to Beverly Hills, 20 mins away. 
The cast is really cool, there will be drinking, fun to be had, parties, good food. Meeting the BDH, in a Booster atmospehere, it will be Shiny! And who doesnt wanna party with Nathan and Jewel! And the rest of the cast?!
You could even tell Summer.."I can kill you with my brain" LOL
And yes, If you went Sat and Sun you would most likley get autos from everyone there. (Cast= free) Non cast= Money
Hope that helps!

As far as convincing people...just tell them its not only about meeting the cast, but its about spending a weekend with a couple hundred die-hard Browncoats. Its gonna be shiny.
Mal: Define interesting.
Wash: Oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die?

The sticker shock has made me think about attending. I might attend one day. I'll decide when I see the schedule. Right now, I don't have the money to plunk down for all three days and the extras like the cocktail party or the photo ops with the stars.
I'm student teaching this year and that is an upaid apprenticeship that teachers have to go through in order to earn their teaching credentials. Hence, the lack of funds for things like expensive Flanvations.
Maybe, I'll catch you all and the cast next year when student teaching is over and I have job.

I remain disgusted. They should make themselves available to their fanbase without fleecing them.
Conventions such as this got their mojo from the early Trek conventions. TOS of Trek would never had survived if the cast hadn't come out of pure love for the fanbase (and not a need to get a payday).
The star's devotion to the fans was the key to their success... not the other way around.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

In April this year, 6 of the cast attended a UK con, and the cost of the ticket for the whole weekend was £70 ($124). And an autograph from each guest and entrance to all the Q&A's was included in that price. And if you were in the first 170 ticket purchasers, you got into the meet and greet. A photo with a BDH cost you £10 ($17).
And bear in mind that the organiser had to pay for all of their flights over here too.
It isn't the cast being all Hollywood, its just...other stuff.

Yeah, I bow down to people who organize these events. It takes A LOT of planning and money organization. They fly out the stars, and sometimes their spouses or parents. Massive Kudos to organizers!!
