'The New Serenity Convention, Thistle Heathrow Thread' maybe? by PsychicRiver

Woah, there is something really weird about that. Very rarely do Starfury cons show so many screenings or put everyone on stage together at the same time and what on earth is a 'behind the scenes talk'? Please God let there be a preview of Serenity. Wishful thinking I know but a girl can dream...

I think the morning screenings are purely to keep amused those who are immune to hangovers. The only gap long enough to show the film is on the last day and I don't think they'd do it then, surely?

Oh, and where did Clare Kramer coming as a guest appear from, didn't know that was happening.

Have to disagree with you that Starfury rarely show screenings to that extent. Its a staple part of their planning for most events.

Plus it is a PROVISIONAL timetable and subject to change. Hope as I may that the BDM could be shown at the con, Sean has expressly stated that there cannot and will not be a showing of Serenity at the con.

Don't build your hopes because they will only be dashed if it can't happen and people will think that the screening "might" happen. So you could disappoint them too.

As to a Behind the Scenes talk - I am as stumped as you and the whole guest panel is VERY unusual! I don't see that as a regular feature but again the BDHs might just want to appear together at least once in the weekend - who knows?

So many cons recently (US ones) have had the whole cast do a panel, maybe Sean thought we should too.

What's up with that, anyway?

The theme party for saturday is `Jedi`, so I guess that does include the rest of Starwars too - so does this mean chain bikinis & bun hairdos or are we talking about white bodysuites & blasters

Just a note for Obsidian...

I don't know if you realise that you won't be able to choose which auto session you go into. You will be told which group you are in on the Saturday (always done by ticket number).

My advice would be to see if you can get to know somebody really kind on the first 2 days of the con, who would be willing to pick up an extra autograph for you, if you want a specific actor.

Many people won't want to use up their entire allowance of three 10x8's purchased at the con per guest and might take one through for you out of their allowance and send it on to you if you really want it. Obviously you would still have to supply the item to them but arrangements can always be made when other Browncoats are about.

You guys rock! It’s way too late here right now, so please excuse any stupidity. Thank you.

Okay, I will be flying into London on the 28th and staying at a small hotel just near Paddington Station. We leave out May 4th. I am coming with a friend who is not going to the convention and we are trying to hash out a schedule.

I understand there’s an express train- any idea how long the trip is? And is there a stop near the Thistle, or will I have to hail a cab/ transfer tubes?

Also, I wasn’t planning on going to the talks, just the parties. I know, in retrospect this seems dumb, but I didn’t really think. Nathan, Adam and Alan on one stage- if I was drinking, it’s doubtless something would come out my nose. Anyway, travel time is now a concern.

Also, any recommendations on cheap places to eat, or must see things to see? We’ve got the London Pass and we’re pretty much doing everything we can go to for free on that, so the schedules pretty full. Is it worth it to pay the fee to ride the London Eye thing?

Also, any idea of the travel time to the Shri something-something Mandir? Or Kew Gardens? Or Windsor?

Also… just kidding, there’s no more alsos. Thanks for letting me pick your brain. Any and all suggestions about how to make the most of this trip are welcome. Thanks again!

WREN

From Paddington you can get then the Heathrow Express to terminal 2, then a Hoppa bus to the hotel.

Alternatively, you could get a cab from London, but that will cost you a fortune (about £30)!.

I can't help you on all the London stuff because I haven't been down that way in over ten years.

I strongly recommend you spend at least one day at Serenity. It would be a waste to only attend the parties, and you would miss out on your free autograph. You never know, you might convert your friend.

Edited to add: you should check out the hoppa and underground timetables to ensure you can get back to London. The parties are going on until 4am, but the services may not run at that time. Equally, you should check out the Sunday times as these are often limited.

It is fabby that you are coming to the fair city of my birth!

The Express train ( http://www.heathrowexpress.com/) is very quick but very expensive. It takes a third of the time of the tube (15 mins as opposed to 45) but is also 3x the cost (£13 single).

The parties are fantastic, large numbers of people (usually me included) only go for the parties - this is the most amazing way to make friends, I have a group of friends I have been going to cons with for 7 years and some of those have been going for 15 - only for parties! Everyone is different but I don't do any autographs or photos (anyone wanting my allocation just ask) as it takes so long to get them. The guest talks can be fun though so do try and get to one or two - the group talks would be the best use of such a short time but others will say different.

Ok, London - It takes a long time to get to places, so you need to plan. Paddington is a good central location for many things. Personally I wouldn't bother with Windsor for such a short trip but as you are in Paddington you might be able to do Kew, it is very pretty and well worth it. If you like conspiracy theories check out Canary Wharf, it is all on straight lines and has all sorts of masonic symbolism and weird pyramids (you need to look closely though). The Hindu Temple (Shri Swaminarayan Mandir) is in Wembley (north London) and is hard to get to but a great way to see the real London because of how you get there and where it is. http://www.mandir.org/infogallery/index.htm

For easy, cheap food there are Pizza Express and Wagamama's everywhere. Never go to the all you can eat chinese places in London they are a rip-off. If you like Chinese China-town is a must. My favourite place though is a little known bar underneath the Phoenix Theatre (on Charing Cross Road between Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square, there is a side-foor next to the theatre where the bar is). The beer is very expensive but there is an excellent choice but you can get a three course mmeal for £14 and it is very good value, not amazing quality but filling and tasty. The place is very relaxed too! For lunch I would go to supermarkets and make your own or, alternatively go to any Boots, M&S etc and buy sandwiches/salads there, the nicest place for lunch if the weather is good is the Thames. Sitting on the Southbank with food and wine (pinch glasses from the National Film Theatre bar and ask to borrow their corkscrew - they are ususally obliging, or just take your own).

If you want to do things for free all of the museums are amazing and the best thing is because they are free you can just 'pop in' - they are a good way to relax and chill out if you need a break. (especially the British Museum because it is so close to Tottenham Court Road). Covent Garden is good to do for free because it is so mad - especially if the weather is nice.

Anyway this must be boring so if you want to know anything else just ask.

Have fun!

Rae,

Emma and Wren have all your queries covered. Just to add - you asked about the London Eye. I did that recently and I'm not sure I'd spend that much money and time. Not if you're trying to pack lots in. London's much more interesting from the ground. Given the choice between the talks and the London Eye, I know where I'd be. Sunday from 12 to 4 looks especially good. Nathan & Morena, then Jewel & Summer, followed by Alan and Adam and finally everyone together.

I've copied this over from the Prospero boards, where some friends inquired about my travel plans. Anyone who has ideas/meetup notions about this, kindly post comments :-)

"As for our UK plans: Whew, but I've packed the itinerary:

April 24 - Fly all day. Check into hotel room in London. Have dinner and go to bed.

April 25 - London. Shopping at Harrods (Sami's holy of holies). Sightseeing as time allows. Meet Jack the Ripper Walk at 7:30.

April 26 - Train to Stratford-Upon-Avon, see the historical sights and tourist traps. RSC "Twelfth Night" at 7:30; pray to catch last train back to London at 23:00 hours!

April 27 - Check out of London hotel and catch flight to Edinburgh. Meet Jodie and Leo (my Irish girls!), hang with Napier College crowd. Go clubbing with the young folk at Jodie's favorite hot spot, OPIUM (do you think it will be anything like The Bronze??)

April 28 - Another day in Edinburgh, touring and hanging out

April 29 - Catch morning flight back to Heathrow, then Hoppa bus to the Thistle Hotel by 1 pm. Queue up for a room at 2 pm and register for convention stuff around 3 pm.

April 29,30, May 1st - Serenity Convention! Dress Sami up as Padme for Jedi night; wear my 1880s costume for WildWest night; dress us both up as elegant courtesans for Companions/Shepherd night.

May 2 - Have breakfast, check out, catch an afternoon flight back home to New Jersey and ol' Bonnet Bob.

Sounds insane, doesn't it? My biggest worry is getting back to London from Shakespeareland, because if we don't get that train, we'll be in big trouble. The next morning we have that flight to Edinburgh, otherwise I'd have just made the Stratford-Upon-Avon an overnight.

I keep telling myself, it'll alllll work out great.
I'm sure Sami will have plenty to "blog."

The poster is not only for the BDH, it's also for the browncoats to have a memento of their friends on the forum, or just of the happy family that we are. I'm printing it soon and will bring extra copies of the poster (A2 size) to the con for those who wish to have one. If you do, please tell me! I'll have to charge you for the printing cost (I can't afford to give them away), which should not exceed £5 per poster. Alas I don't have the final price yet.

You can find sing-alongs all the time, especially about 3 o'clock in the morning. I was at one con where the singing didn't stop until breakfast at 6. I feel very sorry for the bar-staff, they deserve medals!

Thanks so much for your responses. They were extremely helpful. I’m having a hard time reigning in my enthusiasm at this point. Every time I open my mouth the words “___ more days” comes out before anything else.

One more favor to ask…

Is anyone going out to the Thistle and then back into town (near Paddington) after the disco’s, and would they be willing to let me hitch a ride? I’d love to help pay for gas or whatever. The transpo stops at midnight and I’d hate to pull a Cinderella act and leave the disco’s early. Please let me know.

Sorry to take so long to reply!

As I live in a college town (Austin) and a state that produces innumerable brands of beer and wine (Texas)- I don't think I would fly across an ocean just to party.

Which was sort of my point.

I'm flying to England for this con because it's in England. If I wanted to go just to meet the people from the show, I'd have attended a con in the states. Therefore, I need to see England while I am there. Also, I really wanted to meet other fans who would excuse moments of embarrassing geeking out over the genius of Firefly. It’s very hard to share a laugh over Jane’s HI-larious hat with people who ask “Jane? Which one is she?”

Hi everyone,

Haven't posted here in a while but with the con fast approaching I thought I'd better send in a wave...

I'd definitely be interested in coming along to any meetups that may be happening as I'll be there on my own and obviously want to meet as many other fans as possible. It's one of the biggest parts of a large event like this. I'm a seasoned con goer (including past Starfury cons, although not for a few years) but this will be my first Browncoat event.

Anyone else coming down from the West Midlands? I am travelling from Kingswinford, near Dudley, on the coach and am currently scheduled to get to Heathrow about 17:30 on Friday, although as they screwed up my booking I am going to try to change that to arrive a few hours earlier. I'll be there for the whole weekend and at the meet and greet on the Friday night.

Hope to meet some of you at the con. Don't worry, I'm a Kaylee fan, so I must be nice!

Why don't you plan to do a short party on the Friday, or perhaps even skip Friday altogether? I will get shot for saying this but the Opening Ceremony can be an anti-climax, it depends on the guests. If you skipped Friday altogether you could come Satuday afternoon (guest talk, dealers room, photos etc) or evening (have the whole day with your friend, parties often don't start until 9/10pm) and stay the whole night. The party will go on until 4 and there are always room-parties afterwards and people hanging around the lobby. As long as you pay for something occasionally you are a customer and the hotel won't mind. You could then do whatever you fancy on Sunday.

Whatever you do have fun and do what you want!
