Saw Nathan, Jewel and Adam on Saturday, then Nathan and Jewel on Sunday, and finally Jewel on Sunday nite. WOW. These guys are flat out awesome. They are doing an excellent job pushing the movie. I want to go out and buy up 10 more DVD's and do what ever I can to promote Serenity.
I know from hearing stories that quite a few of us at DC had far more interactions w/ the BDH's and nothing but great stuff to say about them. Jewel popped in on one of the class room meetings on Sun nite - w/ hubby Matty in tow - and she was just so cool. She answered questions, gave some more background info on what it as like doing the movie, and how great it was for them to get back together ,etc...
Per the movie, there were a couple of spoilers dropped, but I won't divulge any here. Jewel said there were some very powerful moments that really made her ( and others ) cry...but above all, she said emphatically to TRUST Joss. He KNOWS what he's doing, and this movie will stand alone w/ out needing to reference the series. I think it was described as Joss's ' little epic'. Can't wait.
Again, thanks to all the Browncoats and our BDH's. This is something unique and I'm lovin it.

Couldn't agree with you more! I missed Friday night but saw them Sat. and Sun. AWESOME! Nathan is a complete riot and Jewel and Adam are funny and friendly. All three are just as much fans as they are stars. I loved what Nathan said when asked "who's the biggest Firefly fan" and he said the guy with two thumbs...then he points his thumbs at himself and says "this guy".
I was soooo glad I rushed in line to get my autographed pics on Sat., since Adam had to leave and wasn't there Sun. Nathan said he had to go to S. Africa, presumably for work. They even took the time to personalize their autographs!
The support at the con itself was amazing. People stood in line for hours between panels and autographs. This movie can't help but be a hit!
I also learned, at the browncoats.com table, that the entire cast is contracted for THREE movies. As long as the first one is a hit, we get THREE!
That was the best news EVER!
AND that was the best DragonCon ever!

I just want to second what everyone said. Our BDH had the best panels ever. Nathan is one of the funniest people around and plays off Jewel and Adam with expert timing. Of course it's especially fun when they wait for their chance and catch him with a zinger! They were amazingly available to the fans.
I had a great time at my first DragonCon and enjoyed meeting many Browncoats from here and other sites.

A fantastic con, I can't say enough how thrilled I am that I was in such close quarters with our beloved crew members. More praising and discussion to come on this after I sleep (I haven't since Sat night of the Con) but I wanted to post my pictures so everyone could go have a look. Enjoy. http://www.reannaremick.com/dragoncon/2004/

Blessed be, Adam had a 7 am flight to catch Sunday morning--off to South Africa to film a remake of "The Poseidon Adventure." Stand-up guy, that "Man They Call Jayne." Didn't leave the bar until 10 pm and that's all you'll be getting from me!!!
Dragon Con was my first convention ever. I went for the Firefly panels and met some class acts from this board who convinced me to check it out (Adam chief among them). Mad props to y'all for the dedication you offer to the show and garner from the cast!

Here is my two cents - in case anyone missed it on the other DragonCon threads
My hubby and I went to Dragon Con for the day Saturday 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!

So. Damn. Jealous.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.
