Elizabeth,
Here is one I got of it. Sorry about my camera and photography skills both being terrible.
And I was this Jayne in the pic with you.
EDIT: On the 157th attempt I got the images to work

First, I want to say thank you for sharing your d*con experiences.
No Problemmo.. Happy to do it, I was feeling sorry for those that I KNOW wanted to be there SO BADLY, and just couldn't for whatever reason... I've been on the other side of that fense MANY times.

I do want to clarify, as StarPilotGrainger has, that it is old news that Alan and Ron would be included in whatever future Serenity project comes. (Snipage)
The point being, much of what you're presenting seems reasonable and valid, but not that point. Alan's early 'no news' comments were likely in the specific context (at least in his mind) of the business end of it, while the later 'if there's a movie we'll be in it' comments were more of a creative, story-line pondering.
OH, Now I see where the confusion is coming from... I see that some people (Not knowing about NDAs) assumed I meant "Alan made an Official announcement saying that Universal was committed to making the next film".. I'm sure that's what everyone wanted to hear very badly, so some folks jumped to that conclusion... But No.. that's not what I meant to imply...
So PLEASE allow me to go into some detail to explain it, Now that I have time and am not strung out from the Weekend and the road...
I "Ass-u-me-d" that everyone was reading ALL of the various threads on the whole site (Especially the G-Marketing threads) and that everyone was on the same page.. Mistake on MY part, I "assumed"..
Anyhow, At the start of Dragon*Con when he was acting like he didn't know anything about it, I was thinking "It's dead, The Actors haven't been told anything" (Even if some are right that the cast already knew about Wash and Book Being in another Possible movie months ago... If that's true, it's reason for MORE hope, not less!)...
HOWEVER, when he did his second quote (The one I taped and posted), it was EXACTLY (and I mean so close as to be almost a script) his reaction AFTER FF (the series) was canceled - and just as the actors started finding out that there was a "Good possibility that a movie would be made".
I WISH I had recordings of Alan and the other Actors Stuttering and diverting from that time period... They went from "Don't know anything, Haven't heard anything new about anything", to Almost EXACTLY what Alan said above.. and we found out later that at that point in time they were already informed that Joss was pretty sure a MOVIE was in the offing (and were, as now, covered under an NDA)...
What I was excited about is (Let your minds drift back to that time period after FF but BEFORE the movie announcement).. this is almost EXACTLY word for word, same stuttering, same wording, etc, that Alan used when he found out about the good possibility of a MOVIE being made, but was bound by an NDA... If we had a recording from that time period and compared it to the one above, you'd see what I mean.. and now that I've clarified what I mean, as you start to remember his quotes and manner and stuttering from the old time period (We need a name for that time period), you'll see what I meant.
Bottom line, HE KNOWS SOMETHING.. this is EXACTLY what he did the last time he knew something and couldn't talk about it.
And During that SAME time period, Morena Baccarin was VERY down beat about even the POSSIBILITY of ANYTHING further happening in the 'Verse.. which simply turned out to be her way of getting off the subjects that brushed against the NDAs.. and in another thread here, I saw where another member said that she's doing EXACTLY the same thing again!!!!! "Down beat", "our contracts are just about up" (or words to that effect)... That actually even adds MORE fuel to the whole thing... again, she's doing EXACTLY what she did before when she KNEW there was a good possibility of a movie coming.
Also, Think about Her statement... The Cast from Lord Of The Rings had a Trilogy Contract also, AND worked on all three movies Back to back t

Xanderesque, would it be alright if we posted one of your Wake pictures on our website? We'd like to show Alan wearing our lanyard. If not, it's cool!

You bet! There's another one of Alan raising his fist in the air which might be good. I'll post it tonight.
Also, if you click through the pics you'll get higher quality, if you need that.

Nearly all the pictures you have of me have my eyes closed, sneaky picture taker!
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

May I suggest Fipascan Bedamoic period (Firefly Period After Series Cancellation Before The BDM) or FIPASCANBEDAMOIC Period.

I'm encouraged. And hopeful.
Clearly, we have to make sure that Wonder Woman is a hit and in the first week. 24 hour showings, anyone? Oh, and who is coming with me to White Noise 2 about 20 times the first weekend?
Meanwhile back at D*C, any more info on when Nathan phoned Allan at the Q&A? They put him on speaker phone? Was he just phoning to play Halo or was it a put on for D*C?

Sorry, dearest! There are pictures of me piss drunk and there are pictures of you imitating the evil Wallace and Grommet penguin.
Dragon*Con isn't Vegas. What happens at D*C becomes public knowledge.
But we can commisserate together.

It was actually Alan who phoned Nathan. Here's what happened: Summer was joking in that serious cute way she does that she wasn't sad that a certain two characters had died. Alan put this hurt look on his face and took out his cell phone. He dialed Ron's number and was halfway into saying something like "Ron, Summer doesn't like us anymore" (I can't remember the exact quote) when he realized he had dialed Nathan by mistake!! When he tried to put Nathan on speaker phone he accidentally hung up on him, but through the begging of the surrounding browncoats, Alan called Nathan back up and put him on speaker phone. They proceeded to talk about things, many of which I wasn't able to fully hear because a speaker phone into a microphone doesn't exactly sound the greatest. Still though, it was way funny! They even talked about Summer some ;) Then there was a pause and Nathan asked, "...Alan, is Summer there listnening?" Alan said, "Yes Nathan." and in the funniest voice, Nathan replied, "...oh, this is awkward..." The whole thing was hilarious!

Thanks, Engine Angel. Now I'm really jealous. These Cons sound like so much fun.
Allan and Nathan seem to be good friends and hi-larious together (see posts about British Con). They were great on the War Games commentary. The magic three switches.
