Anybody with photos of me, can they be sent to my email address (preferably the original sizes - thanks!)

No need to apologise, these things happen.

I tried to get a picture of you in the fancy dress comp, but none of them came out. The only decent shot I have is the one of the back of your head. If you want it let me know, I guess it's not a place you see very often

Gosh darn it you beat me to it.

I've just got back today from the Serenity Convention. How apt that title seems, I've been smiling all day long. Got To meet The guys and they are all so darn nice. It's so rare. Alan rocks! Poor guy was exhusted as I am sure they all were, yet he and the rest all found the energy to keep laughing and partying. Wish I could have spoken to em longer but there were so many people there that yeah. Movie trailer looks awesome, looking forward to being on the DVD special features-heh-

Going to serenity squared with luck too. Wish I had identified myself to others on this board before I went, but I totally lost the original thread-l-

Here's an idea thats prolly been mentioned already. If not then woah lucky me...

anyways.

When serenity is released at the cinemas in the US on the 30th of september.. EVERYONE hit the cineama on open day.. This ensures it gets a big opening week and heavy coverage as a "surprise" smash, then ideally more people go to see it, then we get the sequels-s-

Ditto when it comes over here... I'm sure there are enough people to make this happen.

They don't allow attendees to film at the convention but they did film it themselves and given how professionally they put everything else together, I'm sure that the finished product will look good. They were selling videos of previous conventions at the Serenity one, so probably at Serenity 2 (see what I did there?) we'll be able to buy copies of this weeekend's panels (which were very good).

But sample highlights for you (I'm having to paraphrase a bit here):

Audience Question: "Would you like to do the stage adaptation of Dirty Dancing?"

Summer Glau: *eyes light up* There was a stage adaptation? (Yes, in Australia) Really? Wow. I'd love to do that. I loved Dirty Dancing and even the new one that they did. I started off as a ballet dancer and that meant I could perform in front of people without really having to talk to them or engage with them. So yeah, I love those sort of stories where a girl has to come out of her shell and grows.

Audience Question: "What is Book's past?"

Ron Glass: *long pause* Something that you people *pause* haven't learned yet *pause* is that Book was a ballet dancer *Ron laughs deeply*

Somebody pushes in the queue for questions...

Rude Pusherinerer: "I have a question for Ron Glass. Ron Glass, you're very talented, generous, warm spirited, incredibly gifted at acting, you have a wonderful voice, you're a friend of everybody on the set. How much would you attribute this to the actor Nathan Fillion?"

Ron: *laughs deeply* "Who are you?"

Nathan (for it is he): "I'm just a fan."

Ron: *pause* I would say *pause* 99% of that I can attribute to Nathan Fillion.

Applause and they hug it out.

They actually all handled the panels so well, not one dud among them and for quite a few they sparked off each other beautifully.

Ah, that will be the camera Radar working, it detects cameras and ensures I`m facing in the wrong direction

If people are going to the Srenity2 con and want ID - I can do a new design based on the new serenity logo - well it`s actually easier as the Logo has no writting onit in the 1st place - then everybody can wear the same type of badge, which worked well at the Serenity Con this weekend!

That was just so damn funny. And the number of people he has influenced just kept rising and rising from that point on ;)

Now I'm trying to remember... how did it get turned on it's head in the end? Someone asked the question but turned it around somehow... who and how? Can anyone remember?

That was Nathan's and Morena's panel the following day and it worked so well because he just didn't see it coming...

Audience Question: Nathan, you're the captain of the ship and you're the leader of the crew. You're brave, tough, resourceful and very good looking. *Nathan does a pleased looking face and the girl asking pauses for a sec* How much of this do you attribute to the actor Alan Tudyk?

Everyone claps and cheers wildly.

Nathan, with mock serious face: Lady? You leave the funnies to me.

It was particularly gratifying as Nathan had managed to fool Morena again with fake flattery. Of course, she promptly fell for it again just five minutes later.

Hey, FFF browncoats. Sleepy suze here.

Did Zol or Simonwho mention that Universal had a documentary crew covering Starfury Serenity con?

That certainly was exciting :-) !!

Who else got interviewed?

Anybody hear anything a about what's going to be done with the footage of our Serenity Trailer crowd scene? Watch for us on future advertising...

Hey Andy!

Thanks for the badge! I havent taken it off since getting home! I like to have a little bit of Summer with me everywhere I go. And I've been working on a mission-impossible style plan to get one of those posters!

"We can take care of each other. I'll knit!"

Summer Glau to me - "You are so photogenic."

I'm surprised she fell for it twice, she's so quick and clever and hard to trick...
