Hello to the faithfuls again!
I've been reading your posts about DragonCon lately, and I'm so pleased that so many browncoats will be there to "carry the torch" with me, so to speak. Unfortunately, so far I'm the only cast member due to be a guest, so I hope that ain't too disappointing.. I promise to dish lots of dirt about everyone, though, considering they won't be there to defend themselves.
I also hear there will be a "designated browncoat table", which is very cool. I'm pretty positive they'll have me very busy at this Con, but it sounds like there's some fun stuff organized. They might want me to do a handful of Q&A's, which I LOVE! I hope to meet every last one of you, and then some. On the 4th, I'll be doting on Matty all day (my husband), as he is turning the big 2-5 (old man), so I'll have to give him loads of attention and probably get him drunk in the hotel bar. We are both SO excited to be going! I can't tell you how much fun we have at these things... It will be the perfect "farewell" to Serenity, as we're going to Atlanta pretty much directly after our wrap party, it looks like.
And then after Atlanta, we're going home to beautiful Vancouver. Just in time for winter.
And let me just say: This experience, filming this movie, has been the most wonderful experience of my whole career. I love this cast so much it's silly. And I can tell you confidently that this "BDM", as y'all like to call it, is going to be FABULOUS. I promise. You are going to absolutely love what's been created here... It will shock you and make you laugh and make you cry... which was the general plan. I hope you adore it as much as we do. All hail to Joss the Genius.
I will see you (most of you, I hope) in Atlanta in a few weeks! Until then, be safe and happy.
Love, Jewel

See, now why is it that every Con with all the BDH's is NEVER AROUND WHERE I LIVE. Does that seem right to you? God, I would so love to go, but alas, Atlanta is just too far out of my way.
Anyway, believe me, Jewel, we are all so looking forward to the BDM more anxiously than anything in a LONG time. Thank you for posting here and keeping all us fans so informed.
WE LOVE YOU, JEWEL. Wish Matt a big Happy B-day from all of us!!!

Well, September the 4th is my birthday also, and I'll be 35. Good God. I don't feel 35!! Actually, maybe I do...a little. Man, what a bummer.

Thanks for posting again!! 
It certainly always makes my day when one of our BDH post!! I wish I could go to Altanta too, but alas, I also live too far away. 
Have fun though!!

Oh, sweetie, there was never any doubt.

Thanks for posting Jewel - you're much better at it than the boys ;) I love your enthusiasm for Firefly, the movie, the fans.
You predict we'll laugh and cry - I predict you're going to be a huge star.

Jewel,
You (and the rest of the BDHs) have an entire office full of fans at Sovereign Press, a little game company in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. We'll be at Dragon*Con, selling our games in the exhibit hall and doing signings with the owner of our company, author Margaret Weis -- who is also a featured guest!
If you get to tour the hall, please come by and say hello! I'm hoping to get away long enough to make a Q&A or autograph signing.
To the rest of my fellow browncoats who will be at Dragon*Con, stop on by our booth in the Exhibit Hall. We'll be selling the novels and games for both Dragonlance and Sovereign Stone, and will have authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman in the booth!
Take care!
Jamie Chambers

Disappointed??? Don't be silly Jewel! The very fact you are going to be there this makes this the very best Dragon Con that I have ever attended. I would like to ask in advance that you excuse me if I act like a fanboy when I meet you.
There is dirt on everyone? Oh, now I am most definitely looking forward to talking to you at the Con.

Yes, there will be an organized Browncoat table at the Con. It will be in the lower lobby of the Marriott Marquis hotel. We should be pretty easy to spot w/ all of the Firefly posters, fliers, and people in costume. We are going to be doing our part to get the word on Firefly, the DVD set, and the BDM out to those that have not discovered the greatest sci fi show ever to grace a television (and now the big screen).
I hope you do have a Q&A. I am sure that all of the Browncoats attending will be there to ask questions, and offer up support and adoration. I am sure I speak for everyone attending when I say that we are looking so very forward to meeting you.
Your husband's birthday is on Sept 4th? Now that is just downright creepifying. My wife's birthday is also on the 4th! Perhaps we should get a cake or something.
She will be attending the Con as well. I will not be singing "Happy Birthday" though as I do not have Adam Baldwin's gift of song. So you will be coming to Atlanta direct from the wrap party? Any way we could impose upon you for pics of the wrap party if you take any? All of the cast of Serenity hold a dear place in all of hearts and if it is no imposition we would love to share in your experience.

Thank you so much for your assurances on the BDM being great. We never doubted it would be for a minute. We all trust in the genius that is Joss, and the chemistry and magnificent talent that is our beloved cast.
I am so looking forward to finally having the opportunity to meet you in person. Take care and send our love to each and everyone of the cast, Joss, and the crew.
