Okay, I give up! I guess I cant come off like a good person in this conversation one way or another.

Let me just say..I understand the money issues and why many people cant go to many conventions..('Specially this one).

Yeah! Stop whining!

We have enough trouble just getting a new movie, plus the fact that no one writes any novels. Sure there's a comic book out there, but when you really think about it, with such a large fanbase, there is really very little out there for the Firefly fan except hope.

The idea of another Firefly series, or even getting another movie is a slim possiblility. We have everything on this planet against us being satisfied with this wonderful show, so shut up!

All the actors of Firefly/Serenity are complete stars to the true Browncoats out there, so conventions, and the actors showing up to please and make a profit off of us is a good thing, and at this point, its pretty much all we've got. If they show up, they get paid, and paid well!

We don't want the actors/actress to even think that we arent worth showing up for, so if you can't "find" the money to afford to pay the actors, and the people who put on the conventions, please shut up and sit down.

Look to the dead to teach you survival...

Don't tell people to shut up River6213. Everyone on this board is entitled to their opinion.

Alright, I caved. I couldn't stand the thought of all that Firefly love floatin' around and me not being a part of it...so I just booked my ticket on Southwest, bought a Weekend Pass and entry to the Cocktail Party and Banquet, and am trying not to pee my pants with excitement. FollowMal, I'll make sure and keep a special lookout for awesome Nathan moments for you!

River6213... you are a sycophant. One with too much money. You defend the indefensible. Yes, of course, those actors are never paid enough. They deserve all the money they can squeeze, bleed, and suck out of their loyal fans. It is, after all, our duty. Pay homage to the gods.

Ya know... in both ancient Greece and later in ancient Rome, actors were always the first to be slaughtered as fraudulent supporters of a phony elite during revolutions. And they always reached such dubious destinctions from a legacy that was honorable and respectable. In the aftermath of those revolts, the acting profession was always treated as the lowest form of life for one to pursue. You were a "whore of the lowest order" to be one such person. But the lesson was quickly forgotten after the destruction, and the actors always rose again, only to face the same fate.

History is repeating itself again and again and again.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

Look, can we stop all the bitterness slowly creeping up in this thread? If you're attending the Flanvention, great! If not, its no biggie. The people who are going will be happy to share the stories of the events.

XG- I understand the convention is way expensive. We all know. But this won't be the only con ever. There might be others. Also, complaining about the price won't make it go down magically. Please don't take this in a snotty tone, its not. I'm just trying to put water on the fire before it gets out of control.

Mal: Define interesting.
Wash: Oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die?
