Haaa Haaa!!!! 
J/K y'all ! We did our best to make up for your not being there. Hope you can catch the BDH's at some later time and place in the 'verse.

Hey everyone. The wife and I just got back into Richmond a couple of hours ago. We are unpacking and settling in now.
I just want to say how great it was to meet so many of my fellow Browncoats. I only wish that we had more time to spend together or more parties planned to mingle at to get to talk some more.
Nathan, Adam, and Jewel were truly great. I got autographs from each, pictures w/ each of them (which I will post in the Blue Sun Room by the weekend) and some very great momentos. My daughter got a 100 dollar Alliance bill from Nathan at Sundays panel. She is really proud of it. I have to email Nathan to see if I can get the picture he had Jewel take of him giving her the money.
I will post up more tomorrow. Got to check emails and settle in now.

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this board although I have been lurking around for quite a while. This DragonCon was my 14th, and let me tell you, the BDH's made it one of the best I have been to. Friendly, approachable, and not afraid to get in and talk to people. Very few of the guests are like that any more. But the Heroes make up for all of them. I saw the panel with Nathan, Jewel and Adam on Sat. afternoon and was a part of Jewel's greeting to Nathan. If you were there you know what I mean. :) A very good time was had by all at that one, the three play off each other like very old friends and always had time for us the fans.
Later that night I was at the showing of the Lost Episodes when Adam walked in. His presence, sitting out in the audience with us while we watched, made the whole show that much better. And what happaned afterward we watched Trash was, well very, very, very nice. :)
Sunday I got to see Nathan and Jewel talk again, and they did something I have never seen any other guest do. Anyone who answered a question was asked to come up and recieved a prop of the set of Serenity, including a com, several Alliance 100 dollar bills and photographs from the set by the Heroes themselves. Later it was announced by the director of the American TV track that Adam had had to leave from the airport for South Africa at 10 that morning, which means he got to bed much later than midnight. And that the production company had wanted him on a plane heading there much earlier in the week but that he had refused so he could attend DragonCon. Can you think of anything cooler for one of them to have done? :)
Two things more, the guys in the kilts were members of a band called Emereld Rose, They are a con staple and have been there for years. They are also very good at what they do. If you have a chance to see them live I would recommend them. And it was very nice meeting Browncoat1 and Pearl at the Con, these were the only two browncoats that I met this year but I hope to meet many more of them next time. :)

Browncoat1, I was in the 4th or 5th row Sunday, and have a couple of pictures of your daughter on stage. Unfortunately the camera didn't focus quickly enough to get Nathan handing it to her, butshe is holding it in front of her just after receiving it.
Nathan, Jewel, and Adam were fantastic! They had to be exhausted by the end of the weekend, but they were still just as kind and sweet on Sunday as they were on Friday. I didn't realize Nathan was such a comedian and could work a crowd like the best of 'em.
New to the board, what's a BDH.

PHEON - Welcome, and glad you had some choice seats for the panel.
BDH = Big Damn Heros

Shiny! Thanks. I was trying to come up with something involving Browncoats and heroes, like Browncoats Defend Heroes. :)
After arriving 15 minutes before the Friday panel to discover they were already at capacity (I managed to eventually get a seat), and missing the Saturday panel because my Treebeard costume was killing me, I was 45 minutes early for the Sunday panel. I'll try to post some pictures later this evening.

I posted a bit about my experience over on the official boards, but the short version is I had an amazing time. I got to meet three incredibly talented and gracious actors who put up with the noisy, hot Dealer's Room in order to meet the fans. I hope the amazing response they received at the con showed them that the fan base is growing larger and more enthusiastic.
I'll post pictures online and share more stories in the coming days. Thanks guys!

Did anyone at Dragoncon go see any of the short films? I found out that the film I edited and did the effects work 'timed Call' that screened won best Horror (strange because it was Sci-Fi).
I'm a happy browncoat, I've been bragging all day to anyone that listened that my film won at a festival that the BDH's were at.

Welcome to the board Theron & Pheon. Glad to have you w/ us. I am glad that you were both able to attend the Con.
I had such a great time at the Con & came away feeling elated and fired up over the movie. I am a man on a mission, and that mission is promoting the BDM!
