Thanks for posting what it was like to be there in person, everyone! It sounds like it was a blast!

Browncoats:Redemption is a great addition to the Firefly verse. I laughed (especially at my own 15 seconds on screen), I bit my finger nails and I was fist pumping at the end. Also, lots of fans that I recognized (Steamer, who has a lot of lines and Phyrelight who got a very funny line in as a reporter)had parts in the film.
There are even some "unexpected" cameo appearances. I ain't naming names. Buy the DVD and see for yourself.
There were 1000+ at the premiere and I think even some were turned away. It was also streaming until yesterday. Like I said, buy it and support some awesome charities.
Also went to the Summer/Sean panel. Summer is just too precious. Sean, he can hear a baby at 50 paces and is very humorous. I'd love to sit down and really talk to him.

Squee on Summer with a baby( plus small sulk that had we made it to D*C we would have gotten our baby's picture with her...)
Oh HUGS Rose...

The only panel I was at was the Summer and Sean panel and I'll try to post as much as I remember since I haven't seen a YouTube video for it yet.
It started half an hour late although it did 10 minutes over so it wasn't quite as bad as it first appeared. As someone stated earlier it was sort of awkward at first. They were both charming and funny but neither one of them seems that boisterous.
Summer told a story about how Firefly was the first screen test she ever got and she's there with a bunch of people trying out for Mal and a bunch of people trying for River and she sees Nathan come out and she asks "So how did it go?" and he says "Don't worry, I don't think we're up for the same part".
Apparently Nathan referred to Sean Maher as the bod because Sean is so much more fit than Nathan. Sean said that he and Nathan both had shirtless scenes one after the other and when Nathan had his, he starved himself before hand (Sean explicitly told the audience not to quote him on that so sorry Sean) but then as soon as they shot the scene he had people with doughnuts and stuff standing by so that he could gorge himself. Then they did reshoots and Nathan looked really bloated (although I think that part may have been a joke).
They said the last time they saw each other was like 2 years ago and Sean sees Summer as they're both driving and flags her down and they pull into a bad area of L.A. where Sean shows Summer his baby.
Sean said his favorite episode was "Jaynestown" and Summer said hers was "Objects In Space".
I know one of them said that when they first saw Morena they thought she was the most beautiful thing they'd ever seen but I can't remember who said that.
Sean said he thought the funniest moment on set was when Nathan kept popping up in that scene in "The Message". Summer thought the funniest bit was when Nathan stole the prop guys monkey and sent it around the country with his parents but Sean didn't remember that happening at all.

Here's my best photo from that particular panel:
I'm working at making the others more presentable, for some reason they all came out darker than this one did.
Yeah, I was sitting that close. After the double block-wrapping of the previous day, I got there a few hours early for a morning panel. It was awesome. (though it unfortunately didn't help with the sound system being down just a shade too low. I caught most of what they were saying, but there were things I missed.)

Thanks to all those ho posted. You provide documentation of ho Ff is different from nearly all other fandoms. I note that in the 1990s 'Banylon ' had five successful seasons, a number of Tv movies, and yet no is as if it never were. I have an acquaintance with pallets of B5 paraphanalia, courtesy of a pack-rat tenant, and it has no market value. FF, initially a commercial flop, has more visibility and pop cultural impact every year, seemingly. Twice around the block, eh? Maybe the original ST cast could still get that, or the current HP ensemble, but who else?

Sean Maher & Summer Glau @ Dragon*Con 2010
Four short and hard to hear clips. www.summer-glau.net/wp/?p=2701

“Summer talking about her fight scene in Serenity. At least, I think that's what it was. I'm sorry that it's so hard to hear her.” - TammyDevil666 | September 11, 2010
“Talking about Joss Whedon.” - TammyDevil666 | September 11, 2010

A friend sent me this. Wanted to make sure everyone saw it:
First off, let me put the big bullseye right in the center of my forehead now.
I am the Director of On Site Preregistration for Dragon Con.
Let me first apologize for the waits in the line this year. We were trying a new system and it obviously did not work as intended. We were also limited on how many people we were allowed to have in the building at once by the fire marshal and hotel security. This only served to add to the delay as they would not allow more people to enter until so many lanes of the cue were emptied.
We are developing a bar code system for 2011's show. This of course means you MUST remember your post cards and if they are emailed to you, the print out with this individual bar code. If not, you will be in the main line only to be moved to the solutions line to be looked up and printed out. As it stands the plan is to have printers and scanners at each kiosk and NO MORE ALPHABET LINES. You will be in the main line and when you get to the front, you will move to the next available open kiosk to be scanned and handed your badge. This should greatly speed things up for everyone.
Please remember that the staff of Dragon Con are volunteers. They are fans like you who give their time to the convention. They are cursed at, abused, called names, and have had things thrown at them. While many waited 2 or more hours, remember also that Thursday this year alone, we were there at 9am or earlier and we did not leave until 1:30am on Friday morning and were still back again at 7:30am on Friday to work until 10:30pm on Friday evening.
I hope this clears up any misconceptions about the Preregistration process as well as shows we are working to streamline and change this so it is a faster process.

The sound is crystal clear in Summer's part of the TCND Podcast at Dragon*Con. She talks about homeschooling, The Cape and how it was to do the voice acting for Supergirl.
