I figured since Nathan and Adam and who knows who else have been posting on here and keeping you guys up to date, I might as well, too. I just bought a new lap top and am very anxious to use it! (If I can figure out how to use it). "Serenity" is a dream come true. Working with these wonderful people who love their jobs so much, every day, all day, is just awesome. WE ARE BACK!!!! Some things have changed, but not a lot, and no, Adam, I'm not giving away any spoilers. I can say this, though: Joss is a genius. This script is truly one of the best I've read, and I'm incredibly honored to be doing this film-- his first film-- and my first film as a lead (!). How exciting is that!! There hasn't been a bad day yet. Even with dust in your mouth and suncreen running into your eyes and sweat making little pools under your boobs... this is still the best job I've ever had. Thank you thank you thank you to the fans out there. Your continued support makes this whole experience even more enjoyable. I'll write again soon!

Hi Jewel,
It's great to hear that you and the other cast members are having fun being together again. Hopefully it will be a lot more comfortable for you now that the shooting has moved to the studio. We are having quite a heat wave here in BC so it's probably almost as hot as it is down in LA!

Meanwhile, the job of converting my friends and colleagues to Browncoats goes on...

Best wishes,
Andrew

Jewel! Thank you so much for posting! You (and Adam and Nathan and pretty much everyone who has anything to do with Firefly, really...) are so cool!

I feel like jumping up and down with a big grin on my face every time I think about the movie.

Anyway, if you're still reading this (and you might not be, because sometimes people just post and never read the replies... which is perfectly understandable, because there are usually a lot of them), I would just like to explain something. You may not remember me, of course, but...

At the Fusion convention in Blackpool, England, you commented on my tank top? It had a Blue Sun logo on the front and on the back there was a picture of River with stuff written on it (this picture:

)? You asked me where I got it, and I got all muddled up and ended up saying some really strange things... Well. How I got it. I bought the tank top plain, bought some iron-on transfer paper, printed out the pictures (the Blue Sun logo I got from right here on fff.net, the River poster from aforementioned site), ironed them on, and voila, Firefly tank top!

There. I feel so much better after explaining that properly, if only to give 11th Hour the credit she deserves (she has more Firefly posters on her website, by the way: http://the11thhour.home.att.net/ ).

ANYWAY. Again, thank you so much for posting (and for coming to Fusion, for that matter, 'cause that was so much fun)! Things like this always make me smile :)

And do post again! You are most welcome here. It's just so nice to hear something from the women folk. Maybe you can get Gina, Morena and Summer to look over your shoulder and say hi, too.

And, to say we're looking forward to seeing the Big Damn Movie is possibly the understatement of the year.

Well, I'll hop on the bandwagon and say thank you, as well. I'm glad that you guys are having fun with the BDM.

I am, as ever, waiting (im)patiently for it. Say hey to the gang for us, ok?

By the way--if you scroll down to "Firefly Universe" we have a little RP going in there where I'm playing Kaylee. I'd love to get your take on how I'm doing with her! "GunRunners RP" is pretty long, but it's a good, funny read. I have no idea if you're reading this or not, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks!

I'm just confused why there is sweat pooling up beneath Joss, Adam and Nathan.

Anyways, it's great to hear that everyone is so enthusiastic on the set. Of course, all that does is raise our expectations. If the movie isn't one of the best of 2005, we may end up being a bit disappointed.

Of course, given the talent involved, I think you've got a real good shot at meeting the high expectations.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

Jewel, you are so shiny!

I think the main reason that Firefly will never die is that the people creating it love it as much as the fans...and they let us know it. So cool.

And, please, don't let this be your only visit to this shrine to your work. We'll be hanging on your every word, and waiting anxiously for any tidbits you care to throw our way.

Ms Staite,

As another poster from way far away (Tokyo), I'd like to add to what the poster from Israel said, that having you all post here to the fans means even more since it's almost impossible for us to get together with other Browncoats. This site is our link to the wonderfulness that is "Firefly."

But I'm already planning my back to the States for when the BDM opens. Cannot wait!

All my life I wanted to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific.

Jewel -

Many thanks for the news and kind words on the BDM! And any response I'm cookin' up is of the bland, just that it's wonderful to hear about everything being in operation. And yes, all us fans have been hangin' on the every word posted since Day the First.

Side bar: as taxing as shooting in the desert may have been, at least the weather sounds to have been consistent. Be thankful there was no truth to those East Coast "NYC area" rumors way back when. Our weather's just been doin' the wacky...and I can't think of any desert-like locales around here anyway, so what'd be up with that?!

And yeah...speechless and in awe of the fact that we'll all be lining up to see it 22 April.

At the very least, you will have no less than seven guaranteed viewers at Reading Cinemas in Manville.

Thanks for your note, Jewel! Us Edmonton browncoats (so far just the two of us parents and our young 'uns) are counting the days. Edmonton is that big city next to where Nathan used to live ... not that he ever drops by to visit or anything.

Well, he probably does drop by and visit his parents, but, well, sadly we've never met. (sniff sniff)

Our 6-yr old daughter loves you more than anything because you're a genius with engines. Our 4-yr old son is currently leaning towards someone else, as he just told his dad (on Father's Day), "Yessir, Captain Tightpants."

Anyhow ... keep on having a great time on the BDM ... we're counting the days!
