Just wondering if any other FL browncoats would be attending the FX Show Jan 27-29. Alan Tudyk and Summer Glau are attending. We got our tickets today.

It's at the Expo Center at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando. Would only be a few hours' drive from Daytona. Here's the show site:

We went on Friday for the "preview". The three day wristband is water proof, so everyone SHOULD be able to shower--something people at cons seem to shy from.

It is going to be a MADhouse on Saturday & Sunday--there were a lot of people in the dealer rooms, which the aisles are VERY cramped (so if you have a wheelchair or stroller be warned)and the staff, bless their hearts, knew very little about what was going to be where.

Building B WILL house the main "stars", tho all the "creative artists" are in another building with the porn stars--excuse me, the "hotties" of FX.

And yes, they will have a "fast pass" system for getting a time to see one's favorite star, again, they were unable to explain to us how exactly that was to work-but the gist was that we should arrive early.

Hope all have loads of fun!

Hi all,

I just got back from a wonderful morning at the Orlando FX. Of course, the highlights were Alan and Summer - more on that and pictures at www.fireflyverse.com later...

But it was just as great to see so many FL Browncoat compadres again! :-)

The lines for Alan and Summer were the longest from the moment we got there. 10:30ish? The second biggest draw seemed to be the Potter kids and I must admit the Potter fans were there in force, too.

Alan was charming and funny. Summer was beautiful and sweet. For those of you going to future events for autographs, they've gone up from the $20 I heard about at DragonCon to $25 here at FX. Double-edged sword being the fact that I love the actors are getting so much support and their "stock" is rising but it does cause a bit of a gulp to chunk down that much cash. Still I have these wonderful momentos and great memories now.

More (better) stories are coming I'm sure... :-)

Oh sorry, I meant to put in a note about the "fast-pass". Basically, they are passing out paper tickets and posting on a marker board what numbers are allowed to get in the line.

This means you have to keep going back or sending a cell phone buddy back to check on the number status. Also, you never know when Alan and Summer may be on a break, lunch, etc.

The area isn't too spread out so it's not a huge burden - just an inconvenience.
