Hello fellow English (sorry, British) browncoats.

I am Frances and from Hull, I know several other Firefly fans here but they are all related to me!

I wanted to go to Fusion but was too broke, can someone tell me more about the convention next April, principly where and how much?

I have never been to a convention, are they worth doing?

Thanks

Frances

I'm standing right here...

Wren,

I booked on-line at www.thistlehotels.com/main/hotel/heathrowpark/
so I hope they are honouring the booking.
It's £57 a night for standard double or twin room so will work out cheaper if you can get a friend to share.

Browncoat from Bristol here! Just joined the board.

I was lucky enough to attend Starfury : Fusion and can report that a fabulous time was had by all. Gotta say, Nathan stole the show EVERY SINGLE DAY! The 'photo sessions' were a great idea - buy a ticket and have your photo taken with the cast member(s) of your choice, eg Nathan, Jewel and Summer together. We bought tickets late for the con and were hence at the back of pretty much every queue, but even so we managed to get every autograph and have every photo taken that we wanted. With that many guests and almost 2,000 attendees, it was quite some feat.

If you're thinking of going to the Firefly con next year but don't know what to expect, do try and make it - Fusion was exceedingly well run and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Starfury. Just waiting for my convention videos..!

Frances - you can find more info at http://www.starfury.co.uk/. It's usually best to book a room at the convention's hotel, as you're closer to the action, and if you mention that you will be attending the con, there will often be a reduced rate.

Generally, there is a small dealer room where you can buy photos etc, a restaurant / cafeteria for meals and usually some kind of snack bar. There will be a registration desk where you can pick up your registration pack and ask any questions.

There will be a main hall where you can see the guests' talks, then usually separate rooms for signings and photo sessions, if they do them for this con - but they were so popular, I can't imagine them leaving it out. In the main hall Starfury have a projection screen where ticket numbers are called for signings etc - mostly by registration number, so the earlier you book, the further up the queues you are. Watch out for your number. You are given an autograph card with all the guests' names listed - it will be ticked each time you collect one, to keep it fair (no sneaking back for extras!). At Fusion, you could get one personal item and three photos signed. For the major guests (Nicky Brendon, Emma Caulfield and I think for Robert Patrick too) you had to buy one of their photos (from the selection at the con) to get your personal item/photos signed.

For Firefly, there was a lovely range of individual shots and if you bought 5 (at £10 each, ouch, but worth it to get them all signed) you got a cast shot free - which was limited and could ONLY be obtained by buying 5 Firefly photos. The autographs themselves were free, but tickets for the photo sessions were for sale. They were around £15 for a photo with a single guest, then about £5 extra per additional guest. If you wanted a friend in the shot with you, that was an additional £5. eg, Bev and I had a photo taken with Nathan, Jewel and Summer, which cost £30 and our photo with Nicky Brendon and Emma Caulfield was £25. If I had had one taken alone with Nathan, it would have been £15. You get the idea.

In the evenings were themed discos. We didn't go to those for long but they were highly amusing - many and varied costumes were in evidence, around the general theme (Sunnydale High school disco one night, Toga Party another), and some guests attended. Nicky Brendon (Buffy's Xander) danced with a little girl of about 5, she was beside herself and the next day in his guest talk, she asked if he would do it again. He asked for some music to be put on and duly obliged there and then..!

Speaking of which - throughout guest talks, you can line up at the microphones and when it's your turn, ask away...

For those who miss guest talks due to queueing for autographs etc, for Fusion there will be a set of video highlights of talks and suchlike. Can't report on that yet as they haven't arrived, but I'm sure they'll be fab. I suspect they'll do the same for the Firefly con.

Anyhoo - all this fun was had by a 34-year-old who thought she was waaaay past conventions - haven't been to one for 7 or 8 years. But I was proved wrong in the most delightful way. Book tickets now if you can - you won't be disappointed!

Hello All,

I'm a Northern Browncoat, with affiliation to the West Midlands faction of the Independants. Name's Nicki, I live near Sheffield and have fellow Browncoat friends in Dudley. Hello!

Recently attended the Fusion con in Blackpool and have successfully booked tickets for Serenity. Yay! Nathan, Summer & Jewel were definitely the headliner guests at Fusion, incredibly humble and fascinating to listen to.

Does anyone know of a UK release date for the BDM? Us Starfury Looneys have plans....

When I used the link to Thistle Heathrow I got an error message that the dates are not available,
could be that they've blocked them off for the convention and that they'll be available thru a different link/number soon
(I hope so!)

Francis: conventions are a hoot!
#1 meeting other Browncoats is wonderful
#2 meeting the star and telling them you love their work is great
#3 fun photos & autographs as souveniers of an exciting weekend

I've always wanted to do a convention in Great Britain! What can be better than the first ever 'Serenity' Convention!!!

Embers, yeah the organiser holds loads of rooms on reserve for the con, its best to book through starfury events as they give you a discount on rooms, but you should still be able to call the thistle hotel to book if needs be!

I am a self confessed con junkie, as are many of the brit fans I regonise on here, so yeah come to the con it will be shiney!! - Its also a tres social event, of course its about meeting the guests, but its more about meeting up with friends and collectively enjoying firefly/angel etc, also most of my mates at home tell me to shut up when I talk about the Weadon-verse, so its nice to 'chat firefly', and not be looked at like my hair's on fire!!

Nic - we have to place that little trip to the cinema, if ya know what I mean!!!

Another Northern Browncoat here - Wigan - just off J27 of the M6.

I'm booked in for Serenity. I was planning to travel down by train, but it just struck me that if there's enough people wanting to get together from the Nort-West I could drive a car-load down - I have a 7-seater car.
I seem to remember that the hotel offers free parking for people staying.

Any interest?

I'd also be up for some sort of Northern meet-up or shindig.

I just took the plunge of telling my 2 sons that Mum has booked to go to an S-F convention - response - "One of those geeky things where people dress up?" "Yup" "giggle, giggle, giggle".

Sigh. It will be nice to meet people who DON'T think it's weird....

Wow, this is damn shiny I must say. I am in Kingswinford myself, in fact I've lived here all my life apart from when I was away at uni oop north. I thought I was singlehandedly charged with trying to convert all the purplebellies around here, but clearly not . Bring on the reinforcements!

I'd be happy to! At the moment, the only local I've converted is the chap who sits next to me at work (a big fan but not as obsessed as myself... yet) so I'm always up for meeting new Browncoats for shindigs etc, and I will be at Serenity too.

Hullo all!

I'd be really up for a meet-up in the North, Manchester would be an idea, as would Leeds, which is where I live and work.

Anyway, posted a review on www.amazon.co.uk

For those who can't wait past the annoying vetting stage, here it is pasted. (And also so I can yank it from here and try again if it goes wrong)

5 Stars
"Have no place that I can be, since I found Serenity..."
Reviewer: Peter Evans
Firefly is quite simply the most mature science fiction show since Channel 4's 'Ultraviolet' and has more genuine heart than pratically any television show I can think of. Set 500 years in the future, Firefly follows the adventures of nine strong characters aboard the Firefly class transport 'Serenity'. The stories contained within this rickerty vessel are ones that revolve around human nature rather than shiny technology. You won't find any technobabble, nor will there be plots involving time travel, spatial distortions or aliens. The core of the show is human drama with a good mix of adventure, horror, action, comedy and tragedy thrown in... sometimes within the same episode! The nine characters who inhabit the ship are all distinct and the friction between them fuels the plots, as does their loyalty, morality and friendship. Remarkably, for such a large core cast, not one character is badly served by the script and each performance is on target and true. For it's size it is possibly the tightest ensemble cast I've ever seen within a science fiction show, the people on board seem to genuinely like each other and there is a very strong chemisty. The supporting cast are just as good, characters that appear only in one episode are very memorable, and you find yourself craving further stories about them. Badger is a personal favourite, a cockney crime lord with an inferiority complex and a wonderful hat. Or how about Adelai Niskai, a reputation obsessed 'businessman' with the psychotic demeanour of an aged Nazi war criminal? Or Saffron, the woman of whom if I were to reveal anything about before you saw the episode, you'd be well within your rights to shoot me with a harpoon gun? Firefly's universe of characters are its greatest asset.
Not forgetting that the ship, 'Serenity', is herself a character. Probably the coolest ship since the Millenium Falcoln, and just as desirable. A battered old cargo vessel with a penchant for breaking down, the drive of the show is the captain's frantic desire to keep her in the air, to keep her moving. Like the old navy captains, his ship is his first love and he is willing to kill for her.

The direction is never less than tight in the show, and has an earthy, intimate feel lacking in the standard sci-fi show. Every filmic trick is used in this show, keeping it more 'Homicide: Life on the Street' in visual terms rather than the remote stagey elegance of Star Trek. The production values are astonishing, approaching a high budget film in terms of effects, costume and set design for the two hour opener and the episode 'Ariel', and never looking less that impressive through the other episdoes. Sound is generally decent, the musical score is wonderful, though I wish they'd beefed up the sound effects of the guns, shallow as that sounds. I wanted 'Open Range' loud, instead there's sometimes a bit of a weird effect that's part laser gun, part pistol. Gah. There. My only complaint. Apart from that the production is wonderful.

Joss Whedon's story arc and writing are a career high for him. Despite one dodgy plot, 'The Message', each episode is a masterclass in adventure fiction with the speed and punch of Elmore Leonard's westerns. And yes, this is a western as well as science fiction, and it works astonishingly well if you look at the logic behind the concept. Horses don't break down and need repair after all on frontier planets, and can cover any ammount of terrain. And just because there is a colony on a terraformed moon doesn't mean that it will be a happy, shiny, prosperous affair. No, unlike Star Trek's spandex clad people and lovely carpeted enviroments, Firefly favours the failing, brutal towns straight of Sergio Leone. Life is cheap, as are bullets.

I beg you to watch this show, convert your friends and turn up for the upcoming movie in April. I'm not normally a lover of science fiction, my preferred kicks coming from drama classics like 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' and 'Our Friends In The North'. Only 'The Prisoner', the original 'Twilight Zone' and 'Ultraviolet' within the sci-fi genre have excited me to this degree in the past. So you can see that I am not easy to please, and that I hold Firefly up there with the greats.

Firefly was and is a joy to watch, a show that took genuine risks and pushed what was possible in terms of style, intelligence and narrative in genre television. For its pains, it got cancelled due to a failure of imagination amongst Fox's executives. That they neglected the show that they commissioned is tragic, that they treated Jos Whedon, the man who along with 'The Simpsons' pratically made Fox as an entertainment channel, is criminal. Watch Firefly because it is the most glorious lost cause in the history of television, and is therefore incredibly romantic, like the Charge of the Light Brigade.

I really wish this show had continued. It showed infinite promise. As it is, you get a little resolution of sorts at the end as far as character goes, though many questions are left unanswered. In conclusion, it's a show to break your heart. It broke mine.

(Sound is generally decent, the musical score is wonderful, though I wish they'd beefed up the sound effects of the guns, shallow as that sounds. I wanted 'Open Range' loud, instead there's sometimes a bit of a weird effect that's part laser gun, part pistol. Gah. There. My only complaint. Apart from that the production is wonderful.)


Exactly the point I raised in the Gunfighting in Serenity topic! Nice review by the way... and nice sig :)

Blimey, nearly missed this!

I'm in Bristol and might be able host a Shindig some time (I've got a pretty big house, the DVDs and many chairs... I guess that's all that's needed) - if folks want to contact me, feel free.

Maybe it died out because there were no new English Browncoats left to post!

Hi pleased to meet you all.

I'm a fairly newish browncoat who spnds half her life in Canterbury, Kent and the other half in Witney just outside Oxford. Now we know (or think we know) the release date for here we should see if people really want to meet up for the BDM!

I'm not going to the Serenity Convention, no matter how much I'd love to, so I'd like to meet some/all of you in person on a different occasion.

okay I reckon I'm the most south-easterly browncoat - but i'm open to a challenge, I live in Surrey.

I'm too purple to go to a convention on my own, plus have no money. or time off work or time off uni, and my stupid friends aren't willing to watch firefly even thoguh I GAVE one of them my old tapes and pesterd her for six months to watch them (and occsionally when it comes up)!

um forgot where i was going. no idea. anyway, who's with me to persuade them to make spin off toys - I require action figures!

Another Kent browncoat here, from Margate. I'll be at the "Serenity" con in London in April and will be crawling over broken glass to make "Serenity 2" in November. I don't often visit the boards but am so ruttin' excited about the upcoming movie, which if it makes a good enough impact may lead to two more films...

I`m discovering more and more of these `hidden` threads - there`s just so many of them

I`m located in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and there`s a few friends who also have an interest.

I was one of the lucky few who saw the Serenity screening in London & will be going to the Starfury Serenity Convention at the end of april (in full captains gear, but maybe not Mal )

'Serenity 2'! Have I missed some vital piece of information somewhere along the way?
