OK This is just a quick recap. Overall I am very happy with the event. There are always glitches and things you wish were a little different but overall I give this a B+.

It was held at a club so that in itself makes it different. The Browncoat passholders sat at round tables so walking among them for the talks was not easy. That I will blame for the lack of questions at this event. It made things much more difficult for the BDHs.

They were all wonderful. I really can't say enough how wonderful I think Jonathan is at these events. He has fun and wants you to have fun as well. He is an entertainer. Not sure about the whole drinking all the time bit. Not sure if its his stage persona or the real Jonathan. But I see a good soul, a good heart and a real good person in Jonathan Woodward. So the fact that I bought the Alliance pass to party with Jonathan was really the event I was looking forward to. I was ticket #1 for the party with Jonathan. I give Jonathan an A+. He is just a doll and a sweetheart and he never stops trying to make sure you are having a good time. Aside from the continuous drinking I see no negative where Jonathan is concerned.

It was great seeing Jewel again. She is sooo beautiful it makes my eyes hurt just looking at her, she is gorgeous and fun. Matty was there and he a hoot. Morena, Ron, Adam, Mark, Yan, Christina, Nectar were all there as well. Nectar Rose is just adorable. She is beautiful, sweet, fun and great at giving talks.

Besides hanging with Jonathan my other favorite moment was watching Nathan walk up to the club as we were returning from lunch. We were late for the girls panel. I see Nathan and I just stop and wait for him to approach. He says, "Hi ladies" and walks in. Saxon said he asked the door guy if he could go in. My brain went missing so I didn't catch that. I love my Captain.

More Detailed Starfury Report

I have been wanting to go to a Starfury Convention for the longest time, ever since the first Firefly Convention took place in the UK. As soon as I heard about it I bought a ticket. I remember hearing that the link to buy tickets was on,I was at work went to lunch and bought 3 Alliance passes. I wanted to party with Jonathan Woodward. That was the main thing I was looking forward to. I really thought it would sell out. However some folks already had their Browncoat Cruise tickets and then Creation started selling tickets for a Firefly/Serenity Tribute. Too many choices. I chose Starfury. Jonathan and Mark spent a lot of time with fans at B3 the year before and Sean has done so much having these Cons on a regular basis I wanted to go as a thank you for all they have done for the fans.

Thursday

So I was absolutely flying high Thursday at work. I had gone for one day to Creation and had a blast so I was now even more excited for Starfury. I had to drive to Hollywood from Anaheim in rush hour traffic. They would only be there until 8pm. I arrived at 7:45pm. I was in a tizzy by then. I parked right in front illegally. I ran inside and saw Saxon and Wyobar (from the OB)and gave them a big hug. Then I asked, "Where is registration?" and I made my way to the back. I was out of breath and my mind was missing. A couple of the girls knew me from B3 and said my name. It was nice to see them again. I picked up all 3 tickets and left. I gave Tribbelynn a ride to Glendale by taking the scenic route, which means I went the wrong way, the long way and that is a great adventure in and of itself. Let’s me just say that the sign Exit Do Not Enter is actually a very helpful sign. :-)

The dinner with Jenski (an Aussie Browncoat) was nice. We talked about the differences in Australia and the US. We talked about Creation the weekend before and other things in general. It was nice to see Jenski, DanRegal and FireflyLynn again. There were a few SoCal Browncoats like Brian who was not joining us for Starfury .

Friday

Apparrently there was more registration in the morning the first talk was at 1:30pm So I had a lovely slow Friday morning. I took my sister Carol. The Element is
