Okay, so, Glorificus touched my arm.

Saturday night's super-secret party location was the new restaurant of Clare Kramer -- Glory, Glorificus, The Beast, The Abomination and That Which Cannot Be Named -- and her husband.

But the more: This restaurant was not supposed to open until next week. They opened it to us, special. And because the weekend's activities depend upon out wristbands, there were people seeing the activity, trying to go in, and being turned away.

Get this: Tonight, Browncoats were the buzz-generating, private-party Hollywood A-Listers.



For those who don't know Clare Kramer played Glory on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

For more info on Clare Kramer http://imdb.com and search for her.

I gotta say, I've been glued to my computer this weekend waiting for these updates...I'm absolutely blown away by all of this. And my friends wonder why I'm such a Firefly-freak :)

Jonesie, we don't wonder. We KNOW! :p

But seriously, I know Jonestein contacted local news in Texas, someone else emailed one of the networks,I dropped an email to a connection I have in the entertainment news industry.

But has an official AP press release regarding this gone out? Does anybody know?


The Browncoats will Rise Again. :)

Everyone is reading everything, I'm sure, but I just have to post this because it is quite possibly the cutest thing to come out of this so far:

Christina Hendricks says:

HEY GUYS! IT WAS SO WONDERFUL TO see all of you and you were so sweet to my date (first date) JIM.

hi everyone, i asked this girl out, and you all know her but i had no idea... i know what a loser right*** but as ackward as it might have been, you all helped make it the best date i've ever been on....THANK YOU!!!!

Jim and I didn't know each other at all and he was such a great sport to jump into our family. We haven't left each others side since we all were together in the hotel last night. he's kissing my head right now

! Thanks for being such a great ice breaker and I can't wait to see you all soon... me too -jim. see you in scottland!!! christina

I think it's just so, so precious. (And for those who are wondering, she posted it elsewhere on Whedonesque as a comment)

I love the title length, Anonymous1. The stars keep coming. Too cool. It was wonderful to read Nathan's quote about making memories. To have real life moments with the BDHs. WOW! Thanks for the link to Whedonesque. It was awesome to see Christina's entry, and her description of her 1st date experience at the BBB.

If anyone would like to see the story go further, you could click on the link on my signature. It tells how to write in a story idea to Oprah. It's the kind of heart warming story that she likes to broadcast.

Anyway, despite their not being paid a cent, several Big Damn Heroes showed up on their own. Most have told us that despite their being "Headline Guests" at Flan, they were never even contacted by the organizers...



So, I know in the spirit of genuine gratitude and enthusiasm we've been putting off vents about BE, but...how can this be? How many employees did they have?

Its my fault

I sent off an email to one of the main bloggers on MSNBC, Will Femia (Clicked), with a short description of what happened this weekend with the Flan convention, along with links to FireFlyFans.net, Weldonesque and some other sites describing the event. So if FFF.net and Weldonesque crash tomorrow or the next day from too much traffic, blame me.

Of course we would get national exposure and many new converts if this happens, it would not such bad thing.

Mysterious Con Cancellation Leaves Firefly Fans Rampaging in Streets of Los Angeles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rampaging. Rampaging? Since when do FF/S fans
rampage?

Sing -- yes. Dance -- yes. Throng and/or
cluster -- yes. Look for the place where
the queue is to form -- yes.

I really, really hate to think I missed a
Firefly-fan rampage on top of everything else.
Talk about your ultimate rarity....

But keep the reports coming. Lovin' them as
I sit in this rain-puddly part of the CA coast.

Tim Minnear showed?! I don't think I'm alone in saying I would have paid $250 plus airfare if I'd known it would have been this rocking.

Quote:

Just got back from the Tim thing about an hour ago. I think there were 300 people there, and it was lovely to hear them laugh and clap during Tim's charming/self-deprecating/terrible jokes routine.

He stayed for three hours, signing every last autograph and posing with fans for pics.

It was so, so nice to see people happy, and able to laugh at Tim's painfully bad joke, "There's just something about 'Firefly' and 'canceled' isn't there?"

Tim showed some video and did a live commentary to Ariel. Then he signed autographs and posed for pictures for forever. You gotta love that man.

So far, I have E-mailed Sci Fi Wire and an SF/gaming podcaster who's a Firefly fan, nuketown.com. Other non-Flan B OBers have E-mailed CNN, Larry King, Oprah Winfrey, Empire magazine, TV Zone, Starburst magazine, Cult Times magazine, BBC's Jonathan Ross, Kristen from E!Online, the LA Times Entertainment section, and Matt Roush from TV Guide.com.

I hope lexigeek, Bix, Arielle, or the others in the thick of it can put together a press release. This is too unprecedented a story not to be told in the wider media.

I hope you saw the pictures of Christina (YoSafBridge) Hendricks, who is very beautiful in person...
unfortunately no photos were allowed at the bar so there are no pictures of Morena Baccarin, who is really a knock out in person (just as you would expect)
and did you see Jewel Staite's blog? She was stuck in Vancouver because Booster Entertainment didn't fly her down to the convention, but she was really sorry to miss our impromptue party!

I just wanted to say A VERY BIG THANK YOU! to; our BDH's.....and "the" BDF(big damn fans)who posted pic's and links for the rest of us who could not afford to go.

I can't believe that our BDH came anyway, BUT...I SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!! The reason we love them, is what they just did.......there are not enough words to say how I feel, knowing that the BDH cared and thought enough of US to come and do this on their own. BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!
Somebody posted she was about to cry,...me too! Its unbelievable how nice these people are to us,...but being good Browncoats, we KNEW this already.

Thank you everybody for all the post....and Thank You to our BDH....my love for you is boundless.

..sorry if its too mushy...=^..^=
