Someone at Starfury posted that they had a thing with their ticket saying they were in the Meet & Greet as a thank you for buying the tickets on the day they went on sale. BUT....does that mean at Serenity or when they went on general sale??!!

Sigh. Fiiiinally back from that housewarming I left for about 30 hours ago!!

So yes the night dragged on with lots of highlights - including a performance by my friend's piss-poor rock band, who forced about 20 of us to sit through 8 of their songs. He was the host, so we couldn't really refuse. Needless to say lots of beer, punch and hard spirits were needed to keep us happy for those cat-mangling 30 minutes.

As a sign of retribution after the gig, a friend and I decided to hijack the makeshift stage, guitar and mike, and played to a now completely deserted audience our own bad, drunken renditions of Tenacious D and Elton John classics... as you do.

Oh and did stop by a local film festival to see 'Paradise Lost' and 'Crash' on my way home, which delayed my return by about 6 hours. Aaanyway, back now, and Will try to prod myself to stay awake for a few more hours. Maybe if I went and fetched some coffee.... mmmmmmmm..... coffee.
*runs off for a cup of caffeine goodness*

Oh and as for citizen and PR's luck: you jammy gits get jammier by the minute! Congrats though. As it's my first con not to mention Firefly event, I'm just looking forward to seeing the BDHs and meeting all you crazy folk.

Too late, sadly. It was on Five, but it's over now. She was in one scene, as a friend-of-murdered-person character. It was like seeing her getting emotional at SF:S in April - just wanted to give her a big hug

I saw Badger on CSI once. He played the bad guy. The one that did the murder. That was weird. He had nearly the same accent too. Just no shiny hat.
And I watched the Stargate whatever with Jewel in it last night (actually taped it last night and watched it this morning). She looked really freaky and her costume/prosthetics (I thought) were awful. But as soon as she talked, you could tell it was her, even through the fake teeth.

I missed the last few minutes of the episode, though, my VCR cut off. But I wasn't really interesting in the show anyway, so I didn't really care.

Yeah, it's like the time I saw Ben Browder of Farscape fame in CSI Miami. He was really good, and in true Columbo style he was the villain, the killer. Oddly, it also had the guy who played Chakotay in ST Voyager in it too; he wasn't a killer though. Two ex-scifi series actors in the same episode, freaky.

I can never watch CSI Miami after that one, though. Only one I've seen and never again. The character of Horatio, played by David Caruso, annoys the fuck out of me. Irritating pontificating bastard.

And yes that JimmyOlsen character was a bit much. If you become 'established' in virtually any internet forum, you'll quickly learn the unspoken etiquette. Plugging something random as your first posts is often a no-no, and won't really gain people's attention.

Sigh. Not saying that people of all sorts aren't allowed to like the show/Serenity, but bad rep for cult fans is always bad rep.

I just read through the whole "forum spam/angry bloke/plain rude sod" thing and I suddenly got thinking just how uncool things are getting - I used to just read stuff here cause I liked firefly and never really had anything to say. Everyone here seemed to be interested in one thing, having a laugh as a group interested in Firefly. So I posted a little and I hoped others would too. And in general new posters are good folk to see and older posters have been welcoming. But more and more often I'm seeing new or irregular posters coming in with behaviour that I never expected to see - that dude is a prime example. The strange thing is months ago if someone had posted that idea, the same arguements would have been put against it but their reaction would have been very different, they'd have seen sense and would probably be posting here having a laugh. Is it me or is the Firefly community getting a greater number of folk turning up who are in fact a liability to the community which has grown here? Is this inevertable as the community grows or can something be done to try and get back that ethos of fair play and respect within the community?

Between threats to cinemas and small websites (ok they messed up and didn't reply to emails etc, but no one likes getting threatened..) over zealous attacks on businesses(the whole warp 1 affair), and bad vibes on the forums we are in prime danger of doing the one thing we are all here for irreperable damage. And I for one, above all else want Serenity to be the success it deserves to be, but this growning feeling of unease has me worried.

Is this something we can change? If so how? I don't know, but am really interested in everyone elses opinion! Any thoughts?

Just the way crowds work out. The larger a crowd gathers around Browncoat fandom, the more shmucks and general losers there are going to be in the mix. It can't be helped, really. It also doesn't help that fandom is especially attractive to the sort of person who ends up making, shall we say, an unfortunate spectacle of themself. Alas, they tend to do it while loudly proclaiming their connection to their chosen fan group, thereby tarring the lot with their particular embarrassing brush.

My solution (barring chucking them out the back door before anyone sees them) is to have a beer and enjoy life as it comes. What else can you do, in the end?

And in many respects the nature of the fandom has always encouraged a proactive and somewhat aggressive stance, all the way back from when the show was being axed. With the news that our efforts had won the rights to the BDM, further acceleration of marketing and plugging the show/movie seemed justified. For some it's lead to a call to arms through guerilla marketing and tireless campaigning - but as with all things, moderation is key.

But as the man said, what can you do? Hopefully the zeal will blow over after it (successfully?) comes out on general release in a month's time. And if the sequels are made, there should theoretically be less need to prove a point, or to go way too far to grab the public's attention.

But hey nonny nonny and all that. Let's see, where did I put my beer?
Though beer might not be such a good idea with the late breakfast I'm eating. Maybe I'll put it on hold and wait until the afternoon.

Grrrr...not to rehash yesterday's events but I came across that moron Jimmy Olsen's post - the nerve of that boy having a go at our PR! And to suggest you're not a true Browncoat??! Methinks your good friend Summer would disagree.

Anyhoo, he was the one who looked foolish - a) for not picking up on a FF quote b) for not realising how accurate your comment was (he had three "ifs" in his theory for goodness sake), c) for ignoring the fact you agreed with you d) for using the word "spamming" and e) for being a moron.

I also noticed that one of his very first posts was actually in response to someone who moaned about a negative review: "it's called opinion, pet." Funny how noone else is allowed to express their's though...

OK, moving on...gather we're hoping for a new River clip today so huzzah!

Ooh, PR, just seen your "possible romance" comments - whilst there are already some pretty blatant spoilers in that thread, I wonder whether yours is just a teeny weeny bit too detailed?! You know how snippy people get...!

Clap your hands everybody!! Why? Because lazy Serenity actually spent nearly 2 hrs cleaning out, vacuuming and washing her car.

Yes I did. It hadn't been done in nearly 6 months. And I hate being bothered with it.

I remember when I was a kid I used to think a Car Pool was a giant bath for cars where they'd drop your car in with a crane and it's come out all clean and shiny, inside and out. I always wanted my parents to take me to one, and I was so disappointed when I realized what one really was. Plus, I have done about 1,243,649 car washes as fund raisers, so I hate washing cars.

And THAT, is why I think I deserve a little applause.

Y el otro dia, yo come' un grande burrito. !Muy delicioso! Y yo hable' con un chico muy guapo.

I'm terrible at past tense. I hope that makes some kind of sense.

Well done for the car cleaning! You can do mine next if you like, I'm not going to do it.
I've also been asked like ten times in the last week if I wanted my car washed by people at car parks. I just say no. I mean, why would I. I get all the fun of drawing things on the bonnet if I don't wash it.
