Wow, you took a bit of everyone doing everything, didn't you, Grant?

Trust you to show the stay-at-homes what REALLY goes on at these Starfury Conventions. My, my, my!

Some of these photos are quite amazing, but...do you think you *got* enough pictures of our demure friend Pixel? I'm not sure you have enough of him, LOL!

(P.S. Nice documentation of dinosaur assault...)

WOW! That looks like it was a blast!

I loooove your costumes. And Sami makes an awesome Padme. :)

OMG, I would NOT recognize Bob without the bonnet and without the beard. He could walk up and introduce himself to me and I wouldn't recognize him. lol

Quite embarrassing

Are you likely to make it to Serenity2 in November?

(Coz, you know - you could bring some Reeses Cups over...!! ).

Oh I *almost* bought Serenity Squared tickets, but I had to be realistic. There's no way I can afford TWO trips to the UK in one year. Especially not with the dollar worth less and less every single second.

Next summer we're supposed to go to France, for a wedding. Maybe we can catch up at a French Firefly Convention, if we're lucky, eh?

You should talk! I hear from the I-Con folk that you changed your hair AND sometimes didn't wear a orange hat either.

Don't worry: Bob will have the beard again by October, and you're unlikely to see him before then because he's busy running his store so his crazy wife and daughter can run around to conventions. Such a nice man (did you see? I brought him Scotch!)

Hey, keep me informed of your Philly WizardCon plans, alright? Anything you hear about it, please pass along...I'm currently kinda on the fence, what with the vague bulletins of guest appearances, but I still have a reservation at Windsor Hotel that I haven't cancelled.

Thanks for compliments on costumes.
Makes it seem like dragging them all over the UK before the convention was all worthwhile.

That's a shame - would have been nice to meet (says she who doesn't even have a ticket yet). Damn money getting in the way of things...

Great pictures at the panels! So many terrific moments -- Nathan facing off with Morena? Priceless.

I'm seriously envious and grateful, at the same time, that you took so many cool pictures.

May I copy a couple of them for myself?

Sure no problem, just make sure you send the royality fees over I have a question for you about PsychicRiver, I hope your daughter is OK with him smooching up to Summer (and then posting the pics) - I think Summer was *Everybodies* sweetheart at the con but Psychic got extra comfy

Simple answer: AWFUL. Every single one. Well, bar a few of the people around me in the foyer, and one good one of Zol. The rest all suck. All from being in a bad position and not having enough zoom (x3 when I should have taken my other camera and had x10).

Oh well. At least everyone elses' are good enough to look at *shrug*

Now I just need to see if I can get my photo op pics scanned. Hope that works out better.

Well, just don`t go saying I broke your camera

I din`t elise I had my photo taken (are you sure my eyes are open):lol:

If you would care to send the big image to me that would be great - I can also have a look at some of the others for you too, see if they can be salvaged - that`s the beauty of digital, you can enhance them (sort of post-process them)

Sometimes I can be very quick and sneaky with my picture taking

PsychicRiver,

Where are you posting your Starfury Con report?

I want to paste Sami's report someplace (if she ever copies it to me from her ultrasecret, friends-only Livejournal blog...)

BTW Sam's pics came back from the developer.
I'll be weeding through and scanning for days.

Oh well. The laundry's been waiting this long, it can wait a few more days

Hey why not get Sami to do the laundry while you scan her images in!!

And get her to hurry up with her report, though I hope its not like Pixels ten/twenty page jobs.....

Hope Sami does well in her exam thingy today, wish her luck for me.

Grant,
Sam (standing right here) says:

"Thank you, Grant! Want to come out and TAKE the exam for me??"

Then, Sam rushes off, getting ready..

Ah, yes. The nationwide killer AP History Exam IS today: She's been up since 5 am preparing for it (making herself a big omelette, brewing extra-strong coffee, studying her notes, picking out the "luckiest" outfit, making sure she has emergency kit with antacids and tissues...the Landing at Normandy didn't see this much preparation).

Naturally, this has slowed down the Sam Convention Report. So you say Pixel is writing a thick book about his experiences? When and where is he posting his report? Maybe I can read it today instead of worrying about Sam's progress on that bluddy 4-hour test?

Oh, right. I have to scan pictures.
Yawn. God it's early.

Send grooviest vibes to all students taking massive exams today, people. Send the Browncoat love!

He does a report, not sure where he posts it if he does, as I think I get it via email, so if you gave him your email addy you will get it when he's done (he can take his time with it as well..) If you have not given your email addy to him try and PM/IM him with it and he will stick you on his distribution list, He's nice like that

While Sami's at her SAT College Exams (yes, another 4-hour exam -- is this a cruel world or what?) I just wanted to post and say that I've added some of Samantha's pics to the Flickr site.

A few of the pictures are of new pals at the convention and I think there's ONE decent shot taken at a BDH panel.

(BTW, I think Sami came home and acquired a boyfriend, aka "the cute skater guy from Chemistry class." So you guys at the Serenity Con? Missed your chance ;-) (Guess we have to turn the new kid into a Firefly convert so he'll be worthy to date the girl).

And the Companion photos are great.

Pleased you had such a lovely time over here.

Are these screening that went on of the completed film? I haven`t heard (well been bothered to check) whether this was a completed film or another unfinished print being screened. Either way, it`s starting to get worrying - I wonder if anybody has done a poll on whether these people will see it again and spend the money? perhaps we should ask Haken to set the poll up (the weekly poll hasn`t changed for ages)

Darin (Zol.)

p.s. How does Firefloozy Suzie fancy putting up several hundred brits for the opening weekend?

I`m sure we can charter a flight over - paint the 747 with the Serenity logo and all

I'll see the movie again when it opens. Several times probably. AND I'll take my non-browncoat friends with me. :) No worries. Anyone who is excited enough to go out of their way to see the movie this early is certainly excited enough to see it again in September when it comes out.

Several hundred brits?? Yikes! I only bought 6 tickets. Of course, I could hardly take much longer finding you folks someplace to sleep than the Thistle did at the Serenity Con.

Wait! You'll be able to sleep in your own chartered plane, right? That would be

I signed on to this board just so I could post this. I wanted to thank you for putting up photos of the costumes. I was in the big group entry, and even though I actually remembered to bring both my camera and some decent film, I didn't take a single shot all weekend, and I was dying to see how we looked. I've been hunting for photos for ages!

Also, we ended up standing behind your daughter in the line up waiting to go on for the masquerade. She was adorable! A beautiful girl, and the costume was great. We got to chat a little bit, but I don't think I actually met you at any point.

Anyway. Thanks again, and I'll stop babbling now.
