Me and my family waited in line for 2 hours to get our Die-Nasty Improvisation tickets, and another 2 in the line waiting for the doors to open. All of it was instantly worth it when Nathan Fillion came walking past our line. Holy crap that man is tall.

He was easily one of the funniest guys at the improv. But, the thing about this one is it's an opera improv that's been going on all week, and they have kept the same characters the entire time, and Nathan played an FBI agent investing suspicious murders. The FBI agents name you may ask? Agent Malcolm Reynolds.

During the standing ovation, I put my Jayne's Hat on. I hope he didn't think of me as a loon...

Hee hee, did he pick the name himself?

I'm sure he thought the Jayne hat was flattering, though he would have preferred a knee-lengthed brown coat.

Oh, how fun for you and how lucky he was there!

That's what everyone says who meets him. My friend MalNourished said that for a week when she came home from Moonlight Rising!

I'll bet he found the Jayne hat endearing. He's made it plain in many interviews that he loves the 'verse as much as we all do. He probably smiled inside.

The good part is that they videotaped the whole thing, so I'll try to get my hands on a copy, and maybe upload Nathan's parts onto Youtube for browncoat viewing pleasure.

Well actually I had heard on the radio that every night this week he had been showing up for the midnight shows, so that's when I decided it was time to go. Die-Nasty was actually the improv group Nathan was in before he moved to the states.

I just found that out on my Appreciatin' Nathan Crew forum this last week. Very shiny and I'm glad you got to see him.

Oh, would you, could you? Please?

Thanks for sharing your adventure!

And I have to chuckle with FollowMal... Everyone comments on how tall he is when they meet him! I'm sure if I met him (not likely), I would, too!

I guess this happened in Edmonton, Canada. Nathan's home town.

Who is this they you speak of? As in "they videotaped it"?

Did the show's producers tape it? Is there going to be a DVD on sale or anything?

If not, can you suggest it to someone?? Hint. Hint.

I'm hoping the Edmonton Fringe thing that Nathan narrated and is going to be shown on the Bravo channel next week will be sold on DVD too.

Anony, this is kinda silly to ask, but will you please post when that is on and that it's on Bravo a little before it comes on.. like a day or so please?

You were probably gonna do it anyway.. but I thought I'd ask.. for my creaky old memory and all.

By "they" I mean the producers. Or at least I think it was the producers. Everything seemed very professional, and there was a sign at the front door talking about it being recorded. For what purpose I don't know, if there is a sale I'm not sure. All I know is that there were professional looking cameras and a crew.

And yes, this did happen in Edmonton. You can understand my delight when last year I learned I shared the same hometown as the Cap'n. I'll try to keep the whole video thing up to date as information, if any, becomes available to me.
