Started rather early today, browncoat breakfast, charity auction(raised about 1k$ for equality now). Didn't realize untill into the breakfast that Summer wasn't going to make it to the event. Later I'll tell you how we were compt' for that. It was fun, the ladies at our table had the guys sit next to them, which I'm fine with. Had a good time with good food(bacon coulda been better, but oh well) we laughed alot. went to the Sean Maher photo op. Guys from QMx gave a presentation on stuff they produce thats verse related. Sean took the stage and was very relaxed and fun. Photo ops with summer, and Nathan, seperately, WOW she is such an elegant beauty, Ill post pics when I recieve them(Alan and Morenas' when I get home)On stage Summer was quiet but glad to be with us. When she came onstage to a standing ovation it took her a bit to relax. Well into her Q+A session a deep voice comes out of nowhere to ask her a question. Behind the stage a shadow comes into view and strokes her hair on screen. Nathan appears and the revelry begins. A little later they're told that Summers time is up and its Nathan's turn. He invites her to stay and they swap chairs. Later Another strange Questioner pops up to give Nathan a hard time about his Han Solo ripoff. Its non other than Alan Tudyk paying Nathan back for yesterday. A few Questions later and Sean Mayer jumps the stage and everyone hugs and the family is together for a while(well most of the family anyway) lots of laughter later the stage show is over. Those of us that did the breakfast are sent back to the photo op area to get our pictures taken with both Summer and Sean. Then we go through the autograph lines and another great con done.

It really sounds like it was an amazing event,
and the Tam sandwich photo op must have been huge fun! LOL

I love how all the BDHs love to play with each other,
I think it is great that they bring that to the Q&A so the fans can enjoy the fun.

I was there as well. The details filed by others cover most of the nuts and bolts, so let me just add impressions. I could never be as eloquent nor thorough as our other reporters.

There is no doubt how much these actors love the 'verse and each other. It comes through with crystal clarity. The respect and affection is unmistakeble, and it extends out from the stage to the audience.

The fact that Nathan made the effort to come each say to see his friends and (perhaps) liven up the Q&A sessions... the fact that Alan would come back the day after his scheduled appearance for the same reason is further evidence of that.

The con was reasonably well run. There is still a push at the autograph line no matter what they say... the desert and breakfast extras were nice, tho the time at each table by the artists was strictly limited... I cannot even tell how long it was... 10 minutes? 15? It was brief... tho perhaps too long for the artists!! lol

For the most part the questions to the artists were thoughtful and succinct... when they were not, Nathan had a way of gently poking the questioner.. "Was there a question I missed???" he would dead pan to Alan or one of the others...

He is still the captain of this verse, and he revels in that, as do we in the audience. I have great respect for each of these individuals. The care and respect they show their fans is truly wonderful.. and in some ways, I think they look forward to the Cons as an excuse to reconnect with each other....

Sean said he had taken some time off from acting intentionally to give himself a break and clear the "palette" so to speak... now he is reading scripts and looking for his next project. He seemed very relaxed and happy to be there with the others and with the fans.. One moment of levity when a fan at the mic asked Sean if he would take a look at a minor stab wound (a joke), Sean quipped that there was an ambulance out front.. as the Ariel Ambulance had been trucked down for the event!

Yan told about his "best man" speech at brother Raphael's wedding. It was funny and lovely that he would share those personal moments with 500 of his closest friends.

Summer was luminous as she talked about her current project. She was the one person in the autograph line who took her time chatting with each person, even though she had an early set time for Monday.

Others have talked with greater clarity about Alan and Morena, so I will defer to them.. Nathan was asked about his work with Martin Firrel on the Hero project, tho he was not able to linger on any questions for too long.. there were long lines waiting to ask him questions- and he was trying to get to as many ppl as he could. He gave away swag (a la B3) what ever he pulled from his closet! lol.. photos from White Noise 2, and a script from same; money from FF and Serenity; his Emmy invitation from 2002.. strangely charming I have to say..

And Alan was quite humorous about his voice on Halo 3 v Nathan's.. Nathan got all the heroic lines.. "Come on Men, keep fighting, let's go, stay together" etc. Alan said he got all the foot soldier lines like, "where is my jeep?" "Oh god I am out of bullets, where am I suppsed to go" etc.

Alan also talked about his TV pilot. He thinks they will know by Jan. if it will be picked up. I think he said it was NBC but don't hold me to that. He plays a shark of a lawyer. A real "pri@k" (his description) lol.. he said it was something totally different for him; and he loves the suits!! and the love scenes...

Last of all.. the QMX guys hinted at future projects including a map of the verse with all the planets.. and they said.. make no mistake.. Universal is taking notice of the INCREASING demand for Serenity products.. an interesting side view at another revenue stream for the studio..

And the panel by the So Cal Browncoats about the aborted Flan2/B3 was very heartening. This is an amazing fandom, as you all know, being in it. But it is also kind of nice to be surrounded by it and reminded of it from time to time...
