Serenity Squared: Episode IV A New Con by Emma

I was about to write and post something very naughty involving chocolate but being the good girl and trying to learn from my mistakes I resisted

My t-shirt was a bright-red skinny with a lot of writing in a square shape. It is hard to read though because the words are on their side, upside down and in all sorts of weird fonts - boys love it. It says lots of very rude things - every sentence/statement includes the word f*@k and says things like f@*k the phone company, president, boys, girls, off, people. You get the picture. It is by my fave clothes company (omenclothing.co.uk) and is seriously cool.

Funny and in some cases disturbing...best not look at the bondage section until I'm home from work!

Emma, have you not heard of the planned UK pre-screenings in August?

You might want to keep an eye on that.

ETA: Arg! Our poor little thread is awash in threads about pre-screenings in various cities.

Yeah, all these poor Americans moaning because they could't get a ticket...where are OUR previews??? I swear there won't be anyone left in America who hasn't seen that film by its release date.

Having said that, hope Suze managed to get hold of some tickets!

Well, I can guess where a lot of those tickets will be for sale - eBay!

Haven`t checked, but might just do that in a while after dinner.

btw, just in case you haven`t seen the post, I`m Martian Hunting on the 26th June down in Woking and maybe also planning a visit to the Brooklands Museum (where they are rebuilding Concorde amongst other things) so if anyone wants to join me, send word

)

I`m down for the LF&CC on Saturday 25th, then have to drive backdown to Crawley the following day for a training course Monday & Tuesday!

**eBay Update, well at least some people are being a little sensibly about it, tickets selling for $100 (pay now) or there`s bidding as normal**

Martian Hunting? I need more info, I hope it is what it sounds like. Someone I used to work with was an UFO hunter - I never went with him though because it would have started all sorts of uncomfortable gossip

PR, I have heard about the August thing but it is only a possibility from what I can work out and it still means I have to find a way to come to England mid-thesis writing season

Well as there ain't much going on here I'm passing the time waiting for new guest announcements over at LFCC - just put two, er, "models" up. Actually I haven't a clue who they are...

Ooh, hang on - Doug "Pinhead" Bradley's just been announced.

And...could it be....Mr Joss Whedon???!!!

BTW, Andy - if you're reading this, whilst I applaud your noble sentiments I can't believe you wasted valuable time responding to an idiot like that illiterate Jollywood. His thread's been locked thank goodness.

Oh cherub...don't cry, please.....it really isn't so long until the movie's released for real. Honest...

And with regard to Zol's earlier comment, whilst this is certainly an unexpected surprise, I wouldn't call it "weird." Afterall, rumours of the Serenity showcase at LFCC have been around for ages, and we know they've been in negotiations with Universal.

BTW, I did manage to post it over at the Universal Board - in the few seconds that the forum's been up this evening. I've been a busy Browncoat spreading good cheer this evening

Well, unless your name's Emma...

Apologies, apologies!! I really am excited about all these cons/screenings, and I forget that they're so far away. But they make me smile when I'm bored at work or at school.

By the way, I've finished my exams! They actually weren't too bad - I wasn't completely slaughtered.

But I've been reliving all of my con memories this weekend, as I told my new converts in detail about it all, and I got really excited!

Right now, I'm holding out to hear from Summer soon! And London Film and Comic Con, hopefully the two wont be too far away from each other!

Then I'll be holding out to hear about these screenings! I really hope us guys get tickets!

And I hope Summer's wherever I'm at.

Okay, I'm hoping for a lot, but hey, I'm an optimist.

He was very cheerful though! He's at LFACC and I wasn't going to bother getting his autograph but think I might now...

And sorry for abandoning the thread this weekend. I did something I rarely do, stepped away from the box and dived into RL.

OK, I'm holding off the "You don't know who X, Y & Z are????!!!!" cries of indignation until we get more details on the last bit. Should I be being sympathetic and holding back on the sarcasm?
