Hey, all. Reporting in from the Con. We've been to 2 Q&A's with Alan & Summer. They're both very funny, Alan a little more so, as Summer hates public speaking. Met them both at the Walk of Fame, and they couldn't have been nicer or more gracious. At the panel today, Alan raved about the lanyard we made him. It was a kick to hear it, and see him wearing it.
Our lanyards have been a big hit...far bigger than we had ever imagined. Next year we plan on having a table, and closer to 1000. It's been crazy!
It's crowded, the waits for the elevators are insane, and masses of unwashed nerds are everywhere. We love it here!!!

The Hyatt Elevators are SWAMPPED.. Just tried to get NEAR "The Shindig", aint happening, Line starts at the down escalator, hugs the wall toward the back of the building, goes BEHIND he escalator wall, up the far wall, across the back wall, down the side wall, back across the front wall, and into the Shingdig room.. Wash and/or River must be in there, and they told me that they were only letting 200 more people through.. there was about 400 people in line already... I left.
Wash seems to be much like he is on the Series, Funny and outgoing... and Summer is very shy and self depreciating.. says she doesn't have the acting abilities of "real actors", etc.
At the "discussion" (The one with the Projector screens hanging up in centenial 1-3) Notice Some one asked Wash if he'd read the books (From the writer that was tasked to novelize the scripts).. earlier he said they'd ALL signed on to a 3 movie contract originally... and then later when asked if he'd read the Books, Summer said she'd read one, and Wash asked if he was in them... Then Everyone said "YES!" he said "Oh Good, Maybe I'll be working on them then.. and then Summer cut him "that look" and they rushed on.... made me think about Everyone talking about the Non-Disclosure Agreements They'd all signed so much yesterday at the Miranda trial.
I've seen your Neck Lanyards EVERYWHERE!!! Seems almost Everyone has one (I brought my Own :(
Seems like EVERY princess Leah has the cloth strip down the front and back (From the "Return of the Jedi movie where she's Jaba the Hut's slave), and NONE of them are wearing underware, and it's WINDY.
Did you see the two Porn Women that got busted today for posing in "Sexual Positions" with each other? They got a warning the first time, but later they had put on little dresses and pulled them up and were REALLY acting them out for everyone with Cameras, and they got arrested.
It's been Wild.

Awww, don't you just love him? Was he at the
Wake or did he have to stay away?
He was coming OUT of the Wash Wake As I was in line to go in, He was cutting across the line when I was stepping forward and we ran into each other.
He's MUCH thinner than he looks on The shows, so I didn't recognize him at first.
He's VERY funny.. listening to them today was like Watching them act, he's hilarious... And river Busted on him a few times also (About who was the worst at speaking Chinese, she was jerking her head sideways at him IMMEDIATELY)
A LOT of the stars from various shows are just strolling around, and most people don't recognize them because they are Thinner and/or shorter.
one of the people at my Table said Wash was taller than Mal (Wash LOOKS to be just a little shorter than my 6 feet in person), and you think (Subconsciously) that Mal is taller.
I know Frodo's double is a LITTLE guy!!!! (He was at the table right behind ours at the awards ceremony)
Everyone is bummed that Adam Baldwin canceled at the last second :(
"Ellen Tighe" is really nice.. she was just wandering around in a knitted Shawl when I saw her. She's (again) MUCH slimmer than she looks on the show, and MUCH shorter.

Were they in the Hyatt lobby? There were two chicks down there around 7 or 7:30, "posing" (I'm too lady like to say anything harsher. LOL), and having all the guys take their picture. Hmmmm...funny that not one woman was interested. Heh.
Did you happen to catch the guy that was dressed as Stewie from Family Guy last year? He'd kneel down, and had speakers in the Stewie head where he'd play clips from his IPod. This year, he's been seen as Pirate Stewie! What a riot.
As I said, I can't believe the response we've gotten about our lanyards. Our made stock was depleted by almost 2/3 on THURSDAY NIGHT. The Con had not even started yet! Glad we've got ordering on our website. We'll have to start referring folks there. For you guys not here, Alan's lanyard says "I Was Fired From A Fry Cook Opportunity". He picked the phrase himself, and his will be the only one with that saying we make. Seems only fair.
Two more days to go!! Maybe I'll actually make it into the exhibit hall tomorrow.

THOSE two.. they were doing it about 4 oclock the first time.. I heard they were doing it again later (Prolly when you saw them at 7:30, Right at the sweeping stair cases?)... but then they got busted later after that.. they'd changed into that "School girl with the short skirts" look.. and had the skirts up back in a corner, with Guys crammed in with Cameras 20 deep.

He was slapping the table with it like it was a whip in the centenial rooms and threatened Summer with it once :) He said "Someone" had given it to him earlier.. I have Video of him taking it off and slapping the table :)

Can't WAIT to hear about the cryptic and enticing "HINT" you hinted at.... hmmmmmm
Chindi (waves Hi back to FollowMal)
I posted just now.. combining what the writer said yesterday (They know about stuff WAY in advance, but have to act like they don't because of Non-Disclosure-Agreements they ALL have to sign)... and they can't talk or even hint.. So I think what he said (I posted it above) was a genuine slip.
Also yesterday the Writer Said "Book" was either a former operative or a Member of Parliment, Joss Hadn't decided yet which when they were canceled... I overheard him telling another woman that he "Obviously" worked with that they decided they could change something because "Book" (I can never remember his real name unless I hear it, but he used it) might not be available so that the "Operative" could take his place (In the book the operative wears glasses that have data scrolling down the inside of the lenses, but they didn't do it in the movie.... but the "Temp-type" (Or something of the sort, SMALL changes can be made, but no major changes) was set so they couldn't change it in the book because it was too much change for the typesetters since he'd talked about the glasses in so many different places)... Since they're already writing the books, why would he say that unless it was about a MOVIE? (YES! I was evesdropping!!)
Summer and Allan Said today that they couldn't change a WORD of the script when Joss was directing, But that Tim Minier (SP?) let them make changes or improvise)... One of them didn't want Wash Wearing that Moustash in "out of Gas", and he really wanted to wear one, so he called up to the script room and they agreed FINALLY to let him wear it... then he showed up to do the scene and they told him he COULDN'T wear it, and he told the make up guy to to put it on him anyway, and the director was saying HE liked it while the producer was saying he didn't.. but after it was filmed Everyone loved it to make wash look "Younger" (They'd asked them each what they'd do to make themselves look a few years (4?) younger).
MUCH more, but you get the point.

Tell him to stay away from Giovani'(sp?) Booth then! There's SEVERAL in there where they're selling all the stuff, but they have on clothes (well, not always a LOT of clothes, but most everything is covered ;) I can't believe the women sitting there selling Pictures and videos of themselves in Softcore (and hard core) Porn.
I'm hitting the bed, Gonna TRY to get more than 3 hours of sleep tonight.

I have had the same question at Pennsic. I'd think more of the pinch but I could be wrong. That and thinking it must be a mite bit cold as well which makes the pinching thing a bit more of an issue.
Glad to hear all our friends there are having a great time and am looking foward to hearing more from ya'll whan ya can.

If you get a chance, tell River that she has the most amazing range of an actress I've seen, and can handle the role of an emotionally-challenged young woman with great aplomb and believability.
Yours,

One additional note before bed (agree with Bad about getting more than a couple o' hours): Just caught the end of the Dawn look alike contest rebroadcast on D*CTV, hosted by Anthony Daniels (C3PO). He is one hi-larious man! I had no idea he was so funny. We'll have to look for him on the walk.
'Night, all. More tomorrow.
