I am still recoiling from being called old.

Where did Doug go? He didn't last long, must have been scared off

I must apologise to Fray as well - I misread your earlier post and realised SimonWhoDareNotShowHisFaceInPublicForFearOfAGoodBeating is going to get it without the chocolate.

Anyway, I've just made a Banoffi Pie, does that count as news?

Edited to show SWs new exciting name!

But Banoffi Pie sounds good too!

OK, let's try & think of an excuse to keep this going. Who's got the whole of Friday off so will be at the hotel relatively early? (I have...!)

I have no idea when I am going due to the unfortunate problem of living in a different country. Unless I decide to go to England for a trip before the con then I will probably fly over on the Friday and get to the hotel about 4pm. Plan of action: Register, check-in, bar! The venue makes bars more complicated though because I don't know which areas they are allowing access to and whether they will set-up additional bars to cater for us. It is quite a snobby place and last time I went to a con there they tried to pretend we weren't there at all.

Here is the hotel factsheet:

I'll be getting there between 11/12?? Are you going by train Fray?

And didn't Doug have "Fried Chicen" cos he's slightly uneducated?

And Emma, I am very very sorry. I didn't mean it. It was a silly! You are young and beautiful, and let no fool tell you otherwise. Especially one that claims to be psychic!

What? A beating without any chocolate? That's not right.

Besides, I'm a hideously old 27 myself (28 in a month's time). I'm sure from PR's perspective I should be considering taking supplements to stave off glaucoma and moaning about cats in my garden.

Ah, to be 16 again. No, wait, 18, that was a much better year. Or possibly 17. No, 18. Definitely 18.

FRAY101

Tuesday, June 14, 2005 4:34 PM

27 eh? We had an old man in our midst all this time...

Yep, I'll be going by train to Heathrow, then I suppose it's a taxi to the hotel. Guess nearer the time we can sort out whether it's convenient for any of us to meet at a station anyway and travel on together?

PR - I will not be a party to underage drinking!

I had my 30 something, somthing, somethingelse birthday at the end of May, so we`ve got a few decades between us in firefly fandom.

Guys going to the LF&CC, I may have a special badge, I`ve just got to get the wording right for the Hero of Canton song (you know the full version)

On the Serenity2 (how the hell do you get the 2 to shift anyway ) front, Browncoats must be worn at all times - you`ve got a few months to buy a suitable browncoat, I expect to see at least a few people weraing them, and of course November will be the idea weather for wearing them (not that I was swealtering @ Serenity Con One).

Something about the Serenity Chocolate Challenge - If people want, I would like to suggest a challenge for the bringing of Chocolate to the convention, the person who brings the best tasting chocolate to receive a prize (of course large amount of samples will need to be brought) - can anyone recommend chocolate for dipping? something easy to setup? Strawberries & Kaylee lookalikes available seperately

Just something about the threads, because these threads don`t last - perhaps if everybody bookmarks the page, we can keep it alive much easier - it`s eitrher that or do a monthly thread (i.s. this is the June Thread, next it will be July and so on until November) - Just an Idea

Darin (Zol.)

p.s. I forgot to add, I`m arriving on Saturday for the Con, couldn`t afford to stay an extra night , what with everything else going on upto this event Remember August Shindig will be selling tickets soon! www.browncoatevents.com

I hated being a teenager - my A Levels were the worst time I ever head (yucky). 28 was very cool though so SW (sorry your name is too damn long) you are in for a treat.

Fray, I will definitely see you at the bar. I go with my sister who drinks and dances alot (although last time she got told off by the DJs during BoRap for not dancing enthusiastically enough). She has lurked on here occasionally and is up for meeting anyone game for a laugh and not too serious. She is also obsessed with Kevin Spacey so you should get along just fine.

Rel, hurry up and book your holiday - we can't have any cock-ups!

PR, lemonade and vodka - yuck! Coke and Vodka is the way to go or even better red bull and vodka and if you fancy killing yourself before your next birthday tequila, vodka and red bull!

Now this chocolatey challenge/beating. I can bring a whole variety of Dutch chocolate but they don't really do bars so beating and dipping may be tricky. Any advice?

PS I had a thought (yes, yes it hurts). I could introduce people to the most disgusting Dutch concept in the world that makes chocolate gross - really it can be done.

Hagelslag, chocolate sprinkles (like the ice-cream and cake variety) you put on bread - yeuch

I don't actually get the bit about the thread not lasting. OK, I can see that timewise they don't last that long but we've been starting regular new threads because we pass the 100 post mark so darned quickly on each one!

New threads are our gift to the broadbandless

Nonetheless, bookmarking is still a good idea seeing how quickly threads can get lost around here - especially if a new wave of US screenings should crop up!

yep, pretty sure this will be a fine long-lasting thread now Z has actually set a chocolate challenge. I can bring all sorts of weird chocolate: Droste, Hagelslag (of the tee hee - Van Dobben - variety) and a strange collection of different things from the department stores here - they all seem to have their 'own' chocolate. I shall find some funny shaped things and bring them.

Should it be a blind tasting to prevent Becs' snobbery (Leonidas is very cheap in Holland, so is Godiva and all manner of goodies - tee hee)? Should it be with score-pards - oooh, decisions, the excitement, the tension...ooohhh

Ummm, Emma?......(taps foot and frowns dangerously).... what precisely is wrong with hagelslag? I grew up with hagelslag! Two slices of bread with hagelslag every morning until I left for England which, by the way, is a very uncivilised country notable for its lack of hagelslag. Good thing the English have Cadbury's chocolate eggs, that helped

I suppose I will be able to recognise you at the con because you will be staggering around with your arms full of Leonidas, bags of hagelslag and white chocolate Chunky Kit Kats? (my latest discovery, a must!). Save some for me!

Emma mentioned that because I went to see Kevin in The Philadelphia Story at the weekend - just got in before he takes a break to resume filing Superman. Well worth seeing - beautiful sets.

I just don't like having a publicly identifiable record of myself (those of us who were 7 in 1984 seem to be particularly keen to stay off the grid).

However, maybe, just maybe, I'll allow you to take a picture of me eating chocolate at Serenity2.

Plus I'll be bringing my personal favourites too, you wouldn't want to miss out on that.

I see we will have many meaningful discussions at Serenity2. About chocolate .. of course. We might do that at LFAC if you are going? First I wasn't going, then only on the Saturday but now I see Adam has his talk on Sunday

Anyway, hageslag is nice. Like hamsters. But I don't eat hamsters. Although I did eat a guinea pig once. Does that me evil ?

i have some fruit flavoured vodka chocolate shots in my fridge does that count as fruit?

eating is never bad - even guinea pig, they are a delicacy in South America - is that where you had one Marya or are you secretly evil and steal peoples pets to cook in a pot? oooh, i know you are the mad woman from Fatal Attraction just a step further...

Can anybody remmeber the awful advertising done for them - I`m sure the adverts are kicking around the net somewhere.

Did anyone see the lifesize chocolate Elton John in the papers 2 a couple of days ago? Now, if they did that for Jewel or Summer ... well, let`s just say, It had better be edible chcolate on the real person

Oh, sorry, mental image transposed to text

SimonWho - posting cute baby pix in an attempt to win Emma and I over is just shameful. Did you post it on purpose to make us feel even older??!!

Wonder if we'll ever actually get the chance to see The Inside over here so we can judge for ourselves. Obviously can't comment on the quality of the show as haven't seen it, but concept wise surely there are enough of those shows around already?

Tell you what, next Saturday we'll say "see you at Serenity2" to Adam and see what response we get!

Hey, I didn't make your tagline to say morbid & creepifying, that was all you.

I think we all had a nasty feeling about The Inside, what with it being on Fox and all, plus being launched in the summer. I also feel bad that the big ratings hit in the same timeslot is a Brit import (Strictly Come Dancing >>> Dance with the Stars). But we'll give Adam plenty of good cheer if he does choose to come over. As has been mentioned, that might be a little tricky after the Quor'toth cancellation but we'll see. I certainly want him at Serenity 2 to sing "Jayne!" for us live on stage.

But we'll see. I suspect The Inside will surface here sooner or later (although it has taken Wonderfalls until next month to premiere in the UK). I might see if I can (ahem) acquire a copy to judge for myself.

FRAY101

Friday, June 17, 2005 4:47 PM

What? The last time I looked my tagline said "Cute, fluffy & eternally youthful." Who changed it?????

Can't trust anyone around here...shall definitely keep luxury chocolates to myself.

I was up in Leicester Square on Saturday to see Batman Begins. They seem to premiere every seriously big movie at the Odeon, even if they don't actually show it there. They had to immediately take down all the publicity on the walls for it and it was replaced by mock damage to the structure for (I presume) War of the Worlds.

Batman Begins. War of the Worlds. I just want you all to know, I believe in Tom and Katie.

Oooh, which screening Fray? I went from the Premiere screen at about 5 o'clock.

I've just been distracted by a huge hornet buzzing around the room and suddenly thought that for the premiere of Serenity, they could release 50,000 fireflies and have them light up Leicester Square. Or is that too weird?

I'm afraid that it doesn't make much sense for the world premiere of Serenity to be in the UK, it launches in the US first and they should get the earliest wave of publicity from that. Then the following week, we get a premiere and all the publicity from that in the UK. I think we'll just have to content ourselves with the fact that we got the very first fan screening.

Chocolatey photos Emma? You'll have to wait until Serenity 2 for those I'm afraid. Bring your camera.

And chocolate, obviously.

Monday, June 20, 2005 9:53 AM

I was long gone by 5pm - went to the 10.30 showing which was nice and quiet (just hate having other people in the cinema with me! They can be so disruptive!) then headed straight home in a packed inter-city train with no air-con. Lovely...guess that's what it felt like to be in the Bat Suit...!

Love the idea of the fireflies - but maybe they could just stick up some fairy lights instead! Same sort of effect, less buzzing!

Can those in the know confirm whether there will actually be a "proper" premiere in the UK? Afterall, doesn't happen with every film, no matter how big the stars.

Edited to add: as many of you might already have noticed, two "TBA"s have appeared at the Starfury site. There's also a new thread suggesting costume shoots - suggest we all add our support for that idea!

Well, the worldwide premier is in australia - a bit too expensive to fly out for that one, however we can hope that these August screenings go down well.

I think as far as premiers go, it would be cool to have the front of the cinema made out to look like serenity, with a big nose cockpit section and the 2 engnes sticking out - with of course everybody coming onboard via Serenity`s main cargo door (p.s. leads to me to ask, but I wonder if Serenity has a back door

) - gonna have to have a great gathering for the UK premier with as many people in costume or browncoats as possible.

for a moment there SW, I thought you said `Chocolatey photos of Emma`

can`t wait!

Enjoy Glastonbury Emma & Becs(?) and any others, it`l be a scorcher if the weather holds.

I hope you don`t get bogged down with all the G8 stuff - I appreciate the statement that Bob is making but, I don`t think he has thought it through all the way - I hope I`m wrong and everything oes as peacfully as possible.
