This is so great.

With every con, you had a strong presense from SW, Trekkers, B5 and the like. Firefly is just the kind of show with its rabid fanbase to have a stately presense at each con throughout the world.

If Firefly does not live through TV (the worst medium ever!), the movie could spark the same for what Star Trek I and especially one of the best SciFi movies of all time, Wraith of Khan did for Star Trek. I can easily see Firefly continuing in book, comic book form or even a spin off 5 to 10 years from now.

Joss could be the next Gene.

Ooh, I just got to thinking: if I could get my wife to go, I could easily get her to dress up as a browncoat soldier (like Zoe) or anything with a Asian flair (her wedding dress was done in Vietnamese fashion). An she has so many calfhigh boots, she would be so easy to dress up. The necklace that Zoe wears is the exact style of jewelry that my wife wears. I think I am more like Wash than anyone so Hawaiian shirts, here I come!

They actually did something Firefly last year? I don't remember seeing anything for it. Damn!

I hope they do something this year. Cancellation shouldn't effect it too much since it was cancelled in Sept last year.

They did a panel consisting of the Track Director and some friends talking about the show and they show one of the unaired episode. I didn't go I was too drunk and role playing with friends.

I work at the Con, my room is across from American SciFi. I run the Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time room with my wife.

I've stopped reading because in my opinion the series is just dragging. My wife just fills me in

Interested? By all that is good, bad and indifferent, interested is far too simple a word for it. Truth to tell, the Firefly DVD set was a community Christmas present for me and my friends. Since then the fanbase has doubled, everyone loves it, and some of us are constant attendees to Dragon. I think I'd speak for them and see if it'd be possible to cast 9 votes at least.

You guys want to get in touch with the American Scifi track. :) The track director is a cool guy, and is very supportive of the show. I believe they're planning on at least one panel devoted to it.

"Looks like we got here in the nick of time! What does that make us, Zoe?"
"Big Damn Heroes, sir!"
"Ain't we just!"

I have never been to DragonCon. I live in Birmingham and wanted to go last year but I had to work. I really want to be there this year, but if there is going to be a Firefly panel or something then no power in the 'verse could stop me.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I don't go to cons. But if there were a Firefly track at DragonCon, I would make it a point to go.

It would be cool if we could get like a dozen or more Browncoats to show up for the Con. I know my wife & I will be there.
