Lets see Sat. Ron Glass took the stage and was all laughs. He was having fun and it was infectious. He was a lot of fun. Did the photo op and he was very nice, not rushing through. Jewel took the stage and I was blown away the woman is smoking hot(they all looked amazing) She went on to talk about Atlantis Firefly the "bird" war with Nathan,(she won). her photo op was well kind of a blirr I was blinded by her beauty up close. Will post after I get some bugs out of my desktop. Non verse I was over at the Stargate side to see Kavan Smith. He had a lot of funny stories both gate and theatre related. That night was the Dessert party. What a blast. My table had the funnest people. Freddy I've run into at a few creation cons, Man I suck with names(thats why I work for the post office folks), there was a newly married couple those girls were awsome(I loved the pink hair) and we had one gate fan at our Browncoat table, but I think she'll be a browncoat soon. When the BDH's came arround we had a spot for them and when the gate stars came around we let them sit with her.
Her parents got her tickets for her 15th b-day in Aug. So when the gate stars sat by her we snuck some pics for her. Dan Shea caught me, but when we told him it was for her birthday he posed with her. Plus fellow browncoat Marian Call was brought in by Quantum Mechanics to sing for the party. She's been a myspace friend for a while now and I've had the pleasure to see her perform in the Seattle area a couple of times.
http://www.myspace.com/mariancall please check her out, tell her Bwah Rick sent you. That was Sat, Sunday later if I can remember.

Great report Chindi! I was there so I know.
I did see History, I recognized his face and he remembered my name.
I like the nickname bar coats. I was one. Along with the beers I do know Adam ate lunch with a mother daughter coat just prior to his panel.
I agree Adam is able to take command of the room without Nathan.
You missed my favorite moment of the whole con: Gina's twirl a la Wonder Woman. Someone asked about the rumor and she said no and shook her head sadly. Then she told us she was ready and has practice as a little girl. Then she got up and went to the edge of the stage, she ran in as Diana Prince, twirled and as Wonder Woman she pushed her crown up and ran back out. Gina is completely adorable, funny and gracious. I agree she felt the love and had a good time.
Gina ruled that panel.

Hey Sweetie! It was sooooooooooo fun finally being able to hang out with Adam like I'd heard other 'coats from Dragon Con and B3 talk about. He was awesome. I had no idea when we did the trivia for him that we'd also get a private lunch too. I thought it would be cool for Ewok to get to go 'backstage'. I even stood out at the hallway while she followed the con people. It was the cool 'shot' lady to made our magic happen...hopefully she'll be there (or rather at LAX) next year and I can buy her another one as a thank you!!

our BDHs are the best,
but Jane Espsenson was pretty awesome too:

she mentioned that on the story board for Dollhouse they have ideas for many up-coming seasons, so I can only hope that we'll get to see them all!

I totally missed Jane was unaware she was doing a panel until it was too late.
Here is my report of the Con.
Serenity & Firefly Salute Report
November 22-23, 2008 Burbank California
Saturday
I woke up at 3:45am that morning because I had to take some friends to the airport. They picked me up at 4am and I was back in bed by 5:30am. I slept for 2 more hours and then got up and got ready. I had to take my sister to work that morning, in the opposite direction. After dropping her off, I had everything with me and I headed north to Burbank. I arrived after 11am. I saw a bunch of people already lined up. It was nice to see familiar faces. The first person I saw was Bryan who is an active SoCal Browncoat. I made my way past the convention center and into the hotel. I was looking for the restroom and I was shocked to see that they had remodeled the whole lobby. I noticed the entryway was different and then I saw the revamping of the lobby. Last year it had barely changed hands so it still looked like the Hilton, not anymore. However the restrooms were still located in the same place and the Daily Grill was still in the same place so it did feel somewhat eerily familiar. The coffee place moved so I was happy there was still one there.
It was on my way to the restroom that I found Wyobar and her husband and Dave (aka:Suinegapf). The doors to the convention didn’t open until Noon so I sat around catching up with Dave. Then we move into the convention center and separated. I had cheap sets and he had the Gold tickets. I was actually waiting for my friend Pamela and her son. We both work together and we have gone to see Firefly folks for several cons now, we have great time. I went to get my tickets redeemed and then I had to decide what I was going to buy. Money is tight and with the economy the way it is I decided I needed to be good. Since this was Gina’s first Con in four years I decided that her autograph was a must. Then I was debating getting a picture with her and was still unconvinced until I saw that there was a Duo Gina and Summer option. I knew then that I was done. I didn’t need any more than that. I could have gotten everyone’s autograph but I went with the general admission tickets. Next year for sure I plan on the weekend preferred tickets which include all the autographs and apparently I still have things I wish for them to sign. Also Gen Admission on Saturday was the last 3 rows and on Sunday it was the last 2 rows which is not much. It was set up with the front the small side of the rectangle; I was at the opposite end of the rectangle in the 2nd to last row.
I am sorry but I only saw the BDH panels. Ron was first and he was good. He was really excited to be there. He kept saying, “WOW” a lot. I think he was surprised and overwhelmed with how many folks were there. He knew it has been six years already and since he hasn’t watched the episodes he has a hard time remembering something that happened so long ago. He was wearing a black Obama beret that someone had made to promote Obama. He said he was usually apolitical but felt he had to get involved this time. I didn’t take notes so I am just going off the top of my head. He talked about his recent work on Lakeview Terrace and then h talked about His brief stint on Dirty Sexy Money he played Lucy Lui’s boss so he was excited that he might get a new recurring role. In the second ep she starts working for the Darling’s so now she has a new boss. But he was hopeful until someone in the audience told him it was cancelled. He was quite disappointed to discover that. He talked about how he missed us. He was in Australia in May and now he is back with us and he is happy to be here. He talked about getting the call from Joss about the movie with good news and bad news. He didn’t want to do it at first. Joss called again a few days or weeks later to check on how Ron was doing then he said let me work on it. Then he received a call from Nathan and he was finally convinced to do it. Someone asked him his favorite episode and he could only remember a few moments

I was going to repost my report here, but I realized I used too many 'real names' and other info I don't feel comfortable posting. I'll just say that the con was the best experience I've had with BC and BDHs alike in a very long time. I've been very blessed in the last 6 years, and I'd really come to believe that those days were over. I'm so happy that I was wrong.
In a nutshell, we ran into Adam in the Hall way near the photo-op area, he invited us to join him for a beer. Much fun was had by all.
I tried to post a photo of our meeting, but the site won't let me. sorry.
I don't want to post anyone else's pix without permission (hint to my sissy above).
As posted elsewhere Adam did ask use to furnish him with a list of trivia quesions ala Gina's panel, so we did (me, Ewok, Tabin, and even help from Wyobar and the folks at QMX). We were told (by Adam) just to 'tell 'em I said so' to bring the Qs to him before his timeslot. We managed to get to the gal who we'd seen earlier and she remembered we were already 'hanging with Adam', so she told us how/where to find him. That ended up being an awesome encounter...thought we were just going to hand the paper and leave, but ended with us having lunch with him. Very cool.
I gotta say, this has been the most awesome con experience of my Browncoat adventures. lol.

I tried to post the pic of me and Jessi and Adam that I'd cropped, and it wouldn't let me. Wouldn't even allow the link to the photos. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I did put some of the pix up at the other board. *hugs*
