I think that would be a very fine idea....
I'm sure there'll be a thread somewhere for the purpose of assembling uk browncoats. I've only known of this board about a week, and only known of firefly about three weeks, but the sense of community is frankly awesome. Hell, even the cast of the show seem to be in on it. This is a nice bunch of folk we got here :)

Definitely be there. I've already booked my ticket and the accommodation.
It will be avery Shiny Shindig!!
Specially if we can get our American and otherwise Browncoat friends to come along! :-)

I doubt they'll sell out until every guest is announced. The previous convention I went to (Fusion) didn't sell out until after every guest was announced, pretty much...

does anyone know how many tickets there will be for this convention?
I have no idea how big this Starfury events usually are.
some hundred or some thousand?
and do we know yet if the movie is gonna be out in the UK at 29.4.? it's a bit weird to have a convention and no one has seen thew movie yet, right? except for downloads of some bad cams of course. it's a whole big spoiler problem if some have seen the movie and some don't, right?
in other words I think about maybe coming too, but I'd have to fly over and get a room and all in all it's gonna cost me a bunch of money. and I'm really not sura about anything. if I at least could see the movie in a theatre in the UK at the same time that would motivate me somehow. I'm not sure yet it's gonna be shown in germany at all and if it is it's gonna be dubbed and I really hate that.

It is going to be a 'small' con, so tickets should be in the hundreds - I would think 600-800 tickets will be offered.
No one knows when the movie will be premiered in the UK. They will try to premier in as many places as possible, but there is no guarantee.
The convention is for 'Firefly' fans so it won't matter if you haven't seen the movie. I think it is called Serenity more in honour of the ship, than in relation to the film.

don't you think the most questions will be about the film?
and if the film's not released in the UK when the convention takes place none of the questions will be answered because that's spoilers and Joss hates those.
so if you have seen the film you will want to talk about it but since you shouldn't have seen the film no one will talk about it with you.
it think that's gonna be awkward. I wouln't know if I'd want to see the film in advance so that I don't get spoiled if someone talks about it or if I don't want to watch it before becaue it would be frustrating to have interesting questions about the film or just comments or praise or whatever and no be allowed to talk about it becaue it would spoil everyone else.
just my thoughts.
thanks about the ticket estimate by the way. small sounds nice but unfortunately also like you have to decide now if you want to go because it will sell out fast.
I just don't want to decide as long as I don't know the UK release date. I don't want to fly to the UK twice because of Serenity and I really want to see it on a big screen in english. I'm not so sure about wanting to attend a convention.

There is a possibility I will be hopping a plane and coming. I'm actually a US Browncoat, but I haven't been to England since April of 03 and I'd really love to go back, and a Serenity convention seems the perfect reason. Anyway, not set in stone, but I hope to join you all there!

Another UK Browncoat already booked and looking forward to the con (my first ever, a a very grown-up age :P)
Shiny, shiny rumour about the whole cast coming - just hope it's true!
A previous rumour was that, even in Serenity hadn't opened properly here in the UK, a special screening may be arranged as part of the con. Only a rumour, but it would make sense, and avoid the spoiler worry.
