The BDH's and Joss need to know about these things. Even though they may not have direct control of the future of the 'verse, people talk, word gets around, etc.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> they were aware, the confusion came when someone mentioned that we were trying to get the 'verse back in the same statement. once we straightened that out, everything was shiney!

I loved meeting all my bunkmates from here and the OB. MAry and MAry-Mom, Vanessa, Linda, Shelly, Holly, and the list goes on!!
LLB (meg)- I did talk to you but didn't realize it was you! Would have loved to talk to you some more had I known!!
Nathan was fantastic as was Jonathan. Their Q $ A was high-larious. Both were very sweet. Jonathan did come to the PJ shindig Friday night and he did a repeat about 3am on Saturday too! I saw him in the hall as he was on his way to the shindig and I on my way out. He did seem releived that we weren't in Pj's Sat night! *lol*. I was too bagged to stick around - already suffering from severe lack of sleep from shindig night before!!
Got to trade some words with Nathan at the photoshoot and he signed my autograph item saying, "we canadians got to stick together!" It was my first con and I had a blast. Will do it again! Maybe not MR but i will definitely do a con again! There's talk of maybe flanvention or a booster flanvention next year on northeast coast so lets get some mojo going for that!

Here's my photo with Nate. I hoped it scanned okay and I've never done photobucket so you'll have to bear with me during my growing pains...

More pic's to follow once I fix them up real good! ANd stories too!

And you can all guess how bummed out I was about Adam not showing. I had my sister do up a pretty picture of him in watercolour that i was going to give him a copy of, not to mention all the questions I had prepared in my head to ask him...And I hadn;t thoght of anything to ask Nathan....I know, my bad but check out my user name...that's pretty self explanatory ! Oh well, i'll just have to do that next time!

Ugh. But a happy and satisfied ugh.

I'm still not coming down off my high of such a great weekend. Those of you who are reading this and weren't at the convention need to understand that a bunch of us probably amassed a total of 12 hours sleep (and some much less!) between three nights. So if we're misspelling things and not making complete sense, you'll understand why. We're trying to get you guys as many stories as possible once our brain functions kick in, but without mass amounts of caffeine and applications of heads to pillows, it'll probably look a little crazy.

I had a wonderful time and am also planning on a blog probably posted on here and myspace. But to give you a nice story to hold you over:

I too got to sit with Nathan and the banquet. We were getting a little bit nervous once the whole thing began because Nathan was the last guest to arrive. Everyone else in the room was chatting with their guests and the Nathan table was glancing nervously at each other, eating our food and probably all wondering where he was.

Camden Toy stopped by our table for a short time to entertain us:

C: "Hi, I'm Nathan, do you have any questions for me?"
Me: "Hi Nathan! Hey, you remember that episode where you were doing that thing? You know the one I'm talking about. Well, what I wanted to ask you was this: What were you thinking when you did it?"
C: "Hrmmm... Good question."
Me:"Was it, 'When am I getting my paycheck today?'"
C: "How'd you know? That and probably, 'What time is lunch?' or wondering what they had for lunch."

Once Nathan showed up and bolted down his food, he chatted with the group down his end. James Leary was sitting right behind me and Jonathan Woodward not too far away and were being kinda rowdy, so I missed alot of his conversations with that end of the table. He did, however, spend a lot of time speaking with Ashlyn, the young girl at our table. It was so very cute how attentive he was of her and he made a point to ask her about school and what she was learning. I could tell Ashlyn was flattered, if a little shy, but Nathan didn't talk down to her like I've seen so many adults do to kids.

Nathan mentioned that he had finished up doing 'looping' for his new movie Waitress with Keri Russell. (I think that means where they re-record the dialog?) He said working on it was great and that Keri was really fun to work with. His favorite part of working on that movie was showing up for three days every week and getting to 'make out with her' every day.

He also mentioned that he recently finished filming White Noise 2 and from what he's seen so far, it looks like a really cool film. (Like I need encouragement to go see it! LOL)

He even had us play his game Find the Extra where he and others (I'm assuming they did this on the set of Firefly) would all turn around and then one of them would go and hide somewhere in the scenery. You would have to find them. So Nathan made the whole table turn around and by the time we turned back, he was standing mostly behind the fake tree near our table, face blank, and blending in. He said we turned around too quickly and made us do it again, but we all had to count to five. So there was our table, completely turned around and counting aloud to five as he disappeared. By this time, the rest of the room could hear us and was wondering what we were doing. As we turned around in our seats we find Nathan crouched down at one of the other tables, hidden among the others as if he were sitting with them.

James Leary noticed this and calls out, "I didn't think they were serving HAM at this dinner." So he and James went through a very childish arguement finally ending in, "I know you are but what am I?" Then Nathan's "Shut up, James. Just....just...shut up!"

Nathan sat back down and continued talking for a while. Unfortunately, I was getting a little frustrated not being able to catch everything he was saying and slowly and sadly was resigning myself to spending the entire night only catching snippets of stories.

Lol, that sounds like a ruttin' nuthouse! My kinda place.
Nathan is so great. If only he were a woman. And younger. And not quite so hideous.

Oh, I tried! Sadly no one could come. :(

Thanks for all the stories! It sounded like a blast. What are the PJ Shindigs? Is that something unique to this con?

Is that something unique to this con?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pajama parties. everyone comes in the wildest pj's they have. i'm sure there will be pix. ;-) truthfully it was not our idea. there was a group awhile ago, called the soprons, fans of blake's 7. when they would give a con, they would schedule a nite time q&a, and dress in their most outrageous nightwear! it was so much fun! there was also a drink in the show called "soma" which was windex colored. they would use a squirt bottle of some kinda greeny blue liquor, and squirt it in people's mourhs. kaele and i were gonna do that, but we couldn't figure out which drink to emulate, and what to use. lol! we musta spent an hour in the state store looking for something like mudder's milk or that tea.
