Jewel,
Thanks so much for posting with us again. Glad you had a good time at Dragon Con. You, Adam, and Nathan Made the Con a wonderful experience for so many of us. Looking foward to seeing the BDM many many times. I hope you've had time to enjoy the CDs.

eddy1985, Greetings welcome to the board and to Charlotte. I live in Charlotte as well and plan to attend the Event in Raliegh. You are welcome to ride up with me if you wish. Also, as you are new to town, if you want to meet let me know. I'd be happy to show you around, as it's easy to get turned around here.

Well, here I go being a fangirl.
I'm a pretty new recruit to the browncoats. I actually saw 'Firefly' for the first time only about a month ago (I took the recommendation of a friend of mine on such faith that I bought the DVDs before having seen a single frame of the show; best $40.00 I've spent in a while); now I'm hopelessly in love with it and wondering why it wasn't the biggest damn show on the planet.
In any case, I've been lurking around this forum for a bit and had to join after seeing this. This isn't my first fandom, but it's one of the few with which I've wanted to get involved where, as others have said, the cast seems as passionate about the show as the fans. It's awesome and an honor to find a post from you here, and it's awesome that you've been a part of such an incredible project (and, uh, by the way, I really dug "Flash Forward" when I was a wee youngun, too. And if that doesn't scream my tender age to the world I don't know what will).
I wasn't at Dragon*Con because I didn't know what I'd be missing. It was also probably too far away for me to go. And I haven't been here for the long haul like a lot of other folks around these parts. But thank you still, so much, for making 'Firefly' and for taking time to mingle with the fans.

Dear Jewel
You can guarantee that as soon as your forever loyal UK fans know when we are getting the release date, there will be more than one repeated showings ;-)
Plus we are very much looking forward to seeing you again at Starfury:Serenity. We know that Morena is coming!!
So I really hope to see you there too!!
And bring Matti!! it would be great to see him again and give him a big hug!!
Take care,

Firefly is indeed a phenomenon, and we're lucky to get in on the ground floor, invited by such a wonderful cast and crew. Thanks Jewel and all of the others, for making us want to come along for the ride.

Just wanted to say thank-you to everyone who made Dragon*Con such an absolute blast. All three of us had an excellent time, and we were floored by the support and the love from the fans out there. The little Firefly that could, right? How is it that this could have happened? I can't explain it. All I can do is feel grateful.
Jewel
You know, a whole bunch of UK-Browncoats would love to see more of the Firefly crew. Will more people (yourself included) be joining Morena in going to the Starfury con?
P.S. Thanks for posting

the comment ( I was snooping) that the second weekend is almost as important as the first weekend is absolutely correct: the interest has to carry through a little bit. A big drop in ticket sales after opening weekend is never a good thing. So if you do plan on seeing it twice, do so once the first weekend, and once the second weekend. Now, if you're a TRUE fan (like me), then you'll see it five times the first weekend and five times the second!! I for one am seeing it at least twice the day it opens, and I'm taking all of my family and all of my friends...
Lessee now, if I buy one ticket the first week, & two tickets the second, four tickets the third week, eight tickets the fourth, &c, by the time I get to the end of the chessboard I'll be buying up every ticket in every cinema in the 'verse. So, if y'all wanna see the BDM in July 2006, drop me a line.

Thanks for posting again Jewel!
I don't know how much the UK box office take will count for in the grand scheme of things, but fear not, I'm sure all the Browncoats will be out in force over here come the local release date (whenever that is).
As for me, I am planning to take the opening week off work and see it at least four times each day! Assuming we get it at the same time as the US, that'll lead straight into the Starfury: Serenity con in London, so that's definitely going to be a week to remember!
For those who have asked, Jewel is listed as a guest for Serenity along with Morena, Alan and Summer. Shiny

Hi world!
I just wanted to bump this back up. The very pretty and rather talented Jewel 'Where's Wash' Staite posted this back in 2004, and since we have an awful lot of new Browncoats who didn't see the passion for this thing back in the day: here it is.

(By the way, the delivery of 'Where's Wash?!' floored me. Truly.)
