Someone's put up the video to the phone call that started it all the day before. Hopefully they'll put up the rest of the panel.

I have just gotten home from DragonCon today. I wish I could have posted from there, but I had no internets. Would have had plenty of time to post from those lines, if I could have.
Some things that weren't covered above:
Sean + Summer = cutest. panel. ever.
The cast photo op was indeed at 3pm, right before the cast panel at 4pm. It did cut it close and was the reason I couldn't make it to the panel, but I got to watch it on in-house TV, so that was good. Still, I think that could have been scheduled much better. It's not the only thing that could have been.
BTW, any Mythbusters fans, Adam Savage does one of the coolest and most fun panels I've been to. Also, he designs costumes for himself to wear.
I've never seen the Marriott so crowded. It was wall-to-wall on Saturday evening. I couldn't really walk through it.
The new official hotel is quite nice. Wish it was closer to the main three.
I didn't get to see everyone as much as I would have liked. I feel like this was the most active con I've gone to, but it was still just not enough. And I wish more folk in general could have been there, of course. Missed you guys!
Zombie Jesus.
Redemption! Check it out, people. It's for a good cause.
I need to get photos together. I hope to see floods of them.
One of the local channels ran a special about the Con. This was not actually a very good idea. Hopefully it won't be allowed to happen again. Not only did they fail to mention you needed a badge to participate and frustrated some people, they may as well have painted some targets on the hotels and splashed "out-of-towner geeks with money, many of whom are getting drunk" under them. So yeah.
"Please tell Nathan this is not his panel."
Spartans!
I'm still recovering from Saturday. Maybe tomorrow I can start recovering from Sunday.

Thanks for posting PhoenixRose! I wasn't able to make it after all so most of what I've been picking up is on twitter. Do you have any other tidbits to share from the Sean/Summmer Panel? I've found the least on that other than that they are both soft spoken, which, well duh. ;) And of course how pretty they are. Can't wait to see your pics though. And I hear the weather was unusually nice for this time of year in "Hotlanta". I always die when I have to travel thru there.

They are both soft-spoken and rather shy, and seemed kind of un-used to all the attention. You could kind of see them supporting each other trying to carry the panel without a more outgoing cast member. There was lots of grinning, hair-twirling, and squeeful body language. Sean can also toss sarcasm around when it's least expected, and hear a baby coo at 400 paces. There was a great deal of love in the room, and talk of how nice it was to see each other again, and that it was as much fun for them to be there as it was for us. If there's youtube footage of it somewhere, you may see a question posed by yours truly. Also, they kept their phones on silent 
It was hot. It might have been less hot than usual, but that just means it was in the 80s and 90s rather than 90-100 degrees. I still feel overheated. [/sig]

LOL great description!
Ya, the heats not even the worst part - the damn humidity is what gets me. like breathing thru a blanket.
Glad you had a great time and got to see them. Hopefully the panel will show up on the tube :)

Just talked to a good friend of mine, who just came back from Dargon con and met Jewel Staite while he was dressed like a ninja. He said he asked her for advice on writing for Kaylee's character (I guess for my benefit sense I started this fanfic/learn how to write pet project) and Jewel said, "look up everything you can about large engine mechanics, memorize as much as you can, and try to be cute about it, but keep it crude, she comes from an industrial family."
Is it odd that I feel embarrassed even though I wasn't there and never met her?
Anyway, I'm totally gonna save up and go next year, and probably make sure my buddy leaves out the parts about my attempts at fanfiction.

I love how Morena swears and manages to remain sophisticated and classy. when I swear it just sounds vulgar.

As much as they are funny It was kind of cool that Nathan and Alan weren't on the panel...they do tend to unintentionally dominate proceedings somewhat. I like the toned down dynamics of this one, though they did seem kind of lost to begin with..,probably weird without the Captain. I thought it was sweet that the others seemed protective of Summer.

Yeah Boris, I loved the way they seemed very protective of Summer also. Almost as if they were still protecting River! When she seemed shy about telling her favorite movie and Jewel and Sean told her to go ahead and say what it was, you can just tell they were being cautions and protective of her and ready to guard her if they had to. The cast of Firefly is still very close to one another.
Summer, although a bit more quiet than her panel mates is totally hilarious though. I love her little joke about being jealous of Alan.
New Joke for Dragon Con 2010- Where do you hide a quarter pound potato?
Answer- In the giant man-ape gone wrong things tailpipe!
Sorry, Morena & Jewel …..I don’t want to start any crap-ola
My question, was Adams new car a Crown Vic?
Lol, Z
