im not sure where flan came from, but i think its FirefLy fAN conVENTION. its a convention for Firefly and Serenity, with a few other Whedon tie ins for promotion and stuff like that. last months convention was so much fun, i cant wait 11 more months.

"Flan" is actually from Nathan himself, said at a convention. He was talking to Firefly Fans and mis-spoke and said Firefly Flans (you try saying it 5 times fast) and the term was born. It's kinda of a joke in honor of him.

Sooo, have a thing for Gina do ya?

From what I understand, she hasn't shown up to many since she got, wait for it....married. Yup, I'm sorry Shooto, but she married Lawrence Fishburn.

Darn that Morpheus after all huh?

rumor had it that Gina has (or had depending on who i heard it from) a contract with Creation, and she couldent attend any conventions that werent produced by Creation. the Flanvention is put on by Booster Events, a compeditor of Creation, so according to the rumored contract, Gina was legaly unable to attend the convention. i have also heard that this elleged contract expired Dec 31st, and she is now free to guest at any convention. im kinda new to the serenity 'verse but i also hear Gina doesnt show up to many of the events, and missed the premier. but that could have something to do with her being married recently.

I think it might be due to the fact that she had been on the convention circuit for a number of years even before Firefly launched and therefore probably feels she has "been there, done that" in a sense.

It's a great pity because she seems very intelligent and let me tell, you in person... drop dead gorgeous.
