Good stuff, man. Is Alan as nice in person as I heard?

Also, if you see him again matey, ask him this:

Halo 2. Alan, or Nate - who wins most?!!?!

I do feel for Alan and Nathan, I had the rude 'my phone doesn't work here' experience myself. Made a point of getting a new phone that does work in Europe after that

????????!!!!!!!!!!

How exciting is it when things like that happen? I had a similar experience on my holiday to New York recently - I knew that Vincent Kartheiser was appearing in this off-Broadway show but I wouldn't have a chance to see it. However, I did drag my friend along to the theatre - you know, just so I could see the building he'd be in! And lo & behold, who should be wandering around outside but Vincent himself.

Sometimes good things just happen.

However, shall now proceed to sulk at the fact that despite living in near-by Buckinghamshire I shall not be going to a) Star Fury Serenity or b)the convention with Alexis Denisof, James Marsters et al over the weekend. And to think, I fought so hard to get those Kylie Minogue tickets....

Jeremy: thanks for the news!
And I hope you'll post a lot about the convention...
that is so great to meet Alan, and I hope he has fun in London
(I did London alone and it was fun & easy)
I am dying for all the Q&A and other news from the convention!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Early Friday Blog from Starfury Serenity

Spent the last 3 days in London proper and did the tourist thing, visited London Eye, Westminster Cathedral and London Tower. Today my travel buddy and I took the train down from London to Heathrow, we were hoping to meet up with other fans meeting at the local McDonalds. But we ended up running late, which turned out to be a HUGE blessing. We finally made it to Heathrow and hopped onto an empty hotel bus. Of course the bus had to stop at every hotel along the way, never picking up a soul. I kept thinking, wouldn't it be fun if the bus picked up another Firefly fan, then we could all chat. Finally, just before our stop, we stopped at a hotel and there was a passenger ready to load, I looked up to see if it looked like we might be picking up a fan - and thought, wait... he looks familiar... Holy Shit, that's Alan Tudyk!! Yes, 800 fans in the area, and we don't run in to any of them, we run into Alan! As he was boarding the bus, I spoke up and said, "Hi Alan." He looked slightly surprised, which he shouldn't have since I had my Blue Sun shirt on, my Serenity Button and three Blue Sun tattoos on my head. So we proceeded to chat for about 3-4 minutes. He had just checked in and was heading into London - ALONE, yes ladies, he was all alone.. alone and worried he might get lost London, and not make it back in time for the con. He said that Nathan was already there, but neither of their phones worked so they probably wouldn't have a chance to hook up. We talked about the trailer, I informed him that Serenity was topping the buzz lists on Yahoo and the Blogs, and getting better buzz than both Superman and Spiderman. He seemed rather surprised. I said, "I think Serenity is going to be bigger than any of us thought." We continued to chat for a little while, but all too soon our stop arrived and we said goodbye. In hindsight we should have offered to help keep him from getting lost in London by accompanying him - oh well. Nevertheless, what a great start. :)

How shiny is that? To run into Alan and get to chat w/ him?

I kept yelling at the screen to offer to go with Alan into London & hang w/ him so he doesn't get lost when I read it, but thinking on it I probably would have done what you did Jeremy and not thought of it at the time.

Thanks muchly for the excerpt.

Wow. I've seen actors at conventions, but never just walking around or taking the bus.
