Man, i hate being such a green horn at these things.

Firefly watching party in the hospitality suite. Adam showed up with the gag reel from the new movie (!!!!!) on his laptop. He was ever so gracious - held the thing up so we could all try to watch and listen. Then he let us take some pictures.
Very very awesome guy.
Eventually I will have some pictures posted too 
Deb

This is what I posted at TrekBBS Last night...well, this morning ;) when I got back from the Con:
Wow, what a day! We had so much fun!
First, we arrived too late to get to the Firefly panel. We were so bummed. By the time we got to the room, it was closed. So we went in search of the fan table, where they were supposed to be giving out free stuff. We got Kaylee postcards and some flyers that promoted the show and dvds. And then NATHAN, ADAM, AND JEWEL (and Matt;)) stopped by the table! My friend and I each got our pictures with Jewel, so I'll be sure to post those later. Nathan and Adam were hard to get near, because we really weren't supposed to be mobbing them. But hey, THEY were the ones that stopped by the fan table, right? I'll get another chance at a panel and autograph session tomorrow, so I'm not too disappointed. And I got REALLY CLOSE to all three - Jewel even put her arm around me for the picture.
After that we hit "An Evening in Bree" which featured Emerald Rose playing. We did some dancing and general fun stuff. I did something weird with my camera though, so I spent most of the rest of the night worried that it was broken. Hence, I didn't get any more pictures of tonight's activities. (Fortunately, upon checking the camera when I got home, it seems to be doing fine now. Who knows?) Anyway, just happened to pass Peter Jurasik (Londo Mollari) in the hotel lobby; had to do a double take - didn't realize it was him at first! I was already ashamed of myself for mobbing the BDHs earlier, though, so I didn't run up to him like an idiot.
After Bree, we went to the Firefly Fan Suite, where there was free food and a tv set up to watch the DVDs. We got to see most of Serenity and had a great time just sitting around sharing a love of the show and comparing all our costumes, t-shirts, and Firefly-related paraphenalia. Man, you have not lived until you've sung the Firefly Theme at the top of your lungs with a roomful of loyal Browncoats.
We had to stay until Serenity was over. Afterwards, we went and had a blast in the Dr. Demento room - he deejayed some of his top requests and featured a couple live acts. By this time we were rather punchy, so we had so much fun singing along and generally attracting probably more attention to ourselves than we wanted to. But really, it was lots of fun.
Now it's 2 a.m. here, and I'm waxed. I did want to get the events of the evening down before the flavor slipped away some, though, so you guys get my report a little earlier than I might have done otherwise.
I'll post pictures tomorrow if I have the time. We bought the four-day membership, so I'm sure I'll have more tidbits to share over the weekend.
...still a little whimsical in the brain pan...

Xanderesque, the pics are great but I have to point out this one:
I find it funny because the reflection of Jewel's eyes makes her look like a Deadite. Add it with the fact that she's looking at Adam and you get a perfect "I'll swallow your soul!" moment.

WOW! Was THAT fun or what? FINALLY got to see our BDH's ( Jewel, Nathan, Adam ) this morning. HUGE crowd there! We all flipped off Nathan - hee hee (inside joke between Jewel and Nathan ) They answered fan questions, sang a line or 2 from the theme song, and recited lines in character. AWESOME!

I made it to the Saturday morning panel myself. I got there just in time to wait in the really long line for a one day pass and then make it to the FireFly panel. It was awesome. DC actually moved the Saturday morning panel to a larger room because of the turnout at the Friday night panel. It was hilarious. Nathan is crazy. When everyone stood up to shoot Nathan a bird I looked at my 3 year old and she was holding her hand up as well. Luckily she was using her index finger. I'm so glad I went. If you are close to Atlanta and didn't see our BDHs you should be kicking yourself because you missed an awesome time. I wanted them to show the teaser!! That would have made it perfect. The FireFly fan table was cool. Definitely doing their job to spread the word. I saw a few captains running around and one Zoe was waiting in line with me. Very cool. I saw a handful of Blue Sun shirts including myself. I must have been asked a half a dozen times where I got my shirt. (I got it online)
Anyway there is still time to go to downtown Atlanta and catch the Sunday panel for those close by.
Later,

Panel @ 4PM, right? I saw a few other Blue Sun shirts, besides my own, and a Mal and Inara couple. ( Good job, you 2! )

That's f*cked up.
Hadn't seen it mentioned yet, but: Margaret Weis, the novelist, stopped by the Browncoats table on Friday in a custom-made Serenity t-shirt. She told us she was a big fan of the series, and how much she is looking forward to the movie.

My hubby and I went to Dragon Con for the day yesterday too. We got our day passes, and headed straight to the room for the Firefly panel. Since Harlan Ellison was in there the panel before our heroes, we sat on the front row for him too! He was really funny, when he realized so many people were coming in during his program. He is a hilarious curmudgeon - he told us that no Firefly fans could ask questions. He then alliterated on the name - Fabulously Fantastic Firefly fans, etc.
Then when our heroes showed up, two guys came up and sang the theme song in a kilt (accompanied by a guitar). Then our Heroes came in, waving and laughing. Jewel was surprised to see a Snapple waiting for her. Nathan loves to play the clown - he was goofing on everything people said. He said that when people ask him who the biggest Firefly fan he has ever met is, he takes his two thumbs and points to himself! He loves watching Firefly, talking about Firefly, being Captain Mal Reynolds (wink), everything about it. He said he loved the first script he saw because he got to shoot the bad guy in the face!
Jewel said she initially wanted the part of River, because it was so complex, but Joss said,"Um, ok, No - you are Kaylee." Adam said he thought he got the part because Joss could count on him to be a seasoned professional and do the part right. Adam said that when Joss did the casting, he was looking for good people who could be around a long time. They were all very sad when the show was cancelled, because they really enjoyed working together.
Then later Nathan made fun of the announcer in the trailer (which they didn't show, boo hoo) and how he mispronounced names. Then Adam quoted the "her name is Vera. She is my very favorite gun," dialog.
They were awesome, and the convention folks had to tell them to wrap it up.
Thanks to our Heroes!
