*Safe drops his wrenches and jaw*

Who knew? Never expected she'd be so....featureless, devoid of topography... under the bubblewrap.

*shakes his head in wonder*
An overgrown frickin' Barbi doll...

Hey Jack, I'd ask for my money back iffn' I was you.

* TheRealMe reaches into the box that the bubblewrap woman came in. *

Hey, not to worry! Here is a package labeled "Accessories".

Needy: Yes, you're rubbing it in, but that's okay. I'd be doing the same thing if it was me. In fact, I was near impossible to be around when I went to a screening and met CHRIS BUCHANAN, executive producer! Try to get some good pics for us, and have a fabulous time.



Well the whole thing was a blast. Not only did I get to see the movie, but there were special guests... none other than Nathan and Morena!!!

I couldn't believe it! I thought there might be guests, but I heard they were in London so figured they'd go to the London screening. I was so psyched. They answered a fair few questions - even got one of mine answered, and my dad asked one too

As for pics - well I got some, though they may not be excellent. I was sitting near the back and so, even though I have a zoon function on the camera, it didn't really pick them up. However, the BDH were signing items outside the screen so I got some of them signing, and plus I got a photo taken with Morena!!! However it wasn't the perfect moment it could have been - I felt ever so guilty because she was on her way out and I was trying to sort out my camera before taking the pic. But she was ever so patient and gracious. Still, I could look better in the pic - I was too excited about the prospect that I forgot to pose properly

Anyway, I'll give the full debrief and pictures later. It's 3am as I type this.

Long night

*Jack blinks*

She really IS a robot!

*TRM displays some of the parts*

Wow, three different sizes of EVERYTHING!

*The disrobed woman/robot looks apprehensively at the three men before her sharing contemplative looks*

Special Hell, anyone?

Needy: That's right, we want the full story, every single non spoilery detail (I've already seen it, but there are others that haven't) and pictures. Even shadowy, can't really tell who they are, pictures!!

Too bad Flechette's out of town. I finally finished her hat last night. I'm going to start Amylisai's as soon as I find where my size 8 circular needles went.

Not terribly creative, but that's the best you're gonna get this early in the morning.

The coffee I'm drinking is really really strong. It's painful to drink.

*looks up dubiously from the accessory instructions*
Jack, are you sure that goes there? It doesn't look...well...right. Plus that's not the way it looks in the picture.

Oh, hi Serenity...*drops instructions like they were on fire*
I was just lending Jack & Dr. Me a hand...so to speak...

Needy: That's awsome! Worth the price of admission and then some! Post the pictures regardless of how bad they are please.

Well I've posted the majority of my experience here http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=12210&m=171656#171656

I'll post another thread soon with the "Spoilery" bits.

I havent yet added the pics, but I'll do that in the thread I've just posted as part of a reply

Don't worry I'll get round to it

I also might post a thread for those who have seen it, highlighting my favourite moments of the movie

It sure was. It was a hell of a thing trying to get there though. We'd never driven to Birmingham before and so were both (dad as the driver and me as director) a bit nervous about travelling there. Then after everything going smoothly we made one simple mistake - we took the route down the M6 Toll and not the M6 - I figured "what's the difference?" - turns out there was big difference. We were about 13 miles away at the time and then we just went further and further away. 45 minutes later and we were no closer. Worse still I had got my tickets from someone who had some spare and was planning on meeting him outside to collect them. so I was worried about that, and worried about whether we'd actually get there. Fortunately I got my bearings and at 8:15 (movie started at 8:30) we arrived. I must say, as eager as I was about seeing it, I was thinking about giving up then and there after 45 minutes travelling aimlessly.

But it sure was worth it

On the way back the back passenger side tire blew out and we could have been in a serious accident - we had to wait till 00:30 before someone picked us up. And yet none of it took away from the whole experience. It was a night to remember that's for sure

Oh no Needy! That's awful. Poor you!

I had a flat tire once. It was miserable. I was about 2 hrs out from my house, heading to my parents for Thanksgiving. I got the flat around 8pm, after all the tire places had closed and this was before I had the good car insurance with the roadside assistance. Oh also, it was really cold and pouring rain and I had my cat with me because I couldn't find someone to watch him over the 4 day weekend so I had to take him with me.

Sooo, I ended up having to take everything out of my trunk to dig out the spare and change the tire myself in the freezing rain and then drive home at 50 mph on a major interstate highway. Got home sometime really really late at night. By the time I got up in the morning and got the tire replaced it was just too much hassle to try to make it to my parents house.

But, on the upside, I ended up eating Thanksgiving Dinner at a friends house who hosted international students. I ate dinner with people from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Taiwan and Venezuela. The most interesting Thanksgiving I ever had. The End.

See what happens when I'm forced to bump this thread up? You all have to listen to my stories.

Okay, Needster, saw pictures of the car, now let's see pictures of the BDHs!!!
