Thank You so much!

I really wanted to go to creation and this means so much to me that you too the time to post this tonight.

HUGS!

Aww, Rosie thank you for sharing with us.
You always have the very best con reports. :-)

It's good to hear how they are still close and still have that special thing that makes it so much fun to see them. Whether onscreen or in person.

What the Admiral said! And what FollowMal said!

Sounds like a great day.

It's cute, but then she would look good no matter what.

More Detailed report -Warning still unfinished sorry.

MORE DETAILED- Report of Saturday.

OK I was not sure what to expect of the afternoon. I was sure Alan wouldn’t be there since he was in NY for the pilot he is shooting. I was hoping Nathan would come Saturday to fill in since I just can’t go on Sunday.

So I arrived to see a long line of Browncoats waiting to enter. I called Saxon to see where she was and she was still about an hour away due to a flat tire she had on the way. Luckily they were at Pep-Boys (aka auto-part store). So I went to buy my day pass for $20 it is the best deal in the ‘verse. I already had their autographs and the back is not that bad a place to sit in such a small area. Alan was still listed as a guest so I was wondering if it was true of if they just didn’t know. I wandered straight over to Jason Palmer’s booth. For those not familiar with his work check out: http://www.jasonpalmer.net/ he does incredible work and he has been doing Firefly since December of ’03 for the very first appearance of the cast at the LA Comic Con in honor of the release of the DVDs. I spoke to his wife Yelena who is in charge of the paperwork. He was actually doing panel on his art so I made my way there.

Jason had a slideshow running on the big screen behind him as he spoke. He has been working on a series of each character plus Serenity and the Operative since last year. Unfortunately he only has 6 done. Jason wants to capture the character not just the likeness. He wants Jayne on the canvas not just Adam. He has a wonderful Book done and told the story of how Ron stopped by to see his work and saw the original and was impressed. Jason gave him a print and Ron walked away to a panel or something. At the end of the con he returned and asked Jason what he was going to do with the original Artwork. Jason said, “It’s for sale.” Ron said, “Let’s talk.” So Ron bought it and invited Jason to his home to make sure it was displayed properly. Ron does not have anything in his home representing his TV work, but he told Jason that he truly captured what he was trying to portray with Book in that moment. So that was great for Jason. However the delay has also come because he was working on a painting involving Padmae (SP?) It was 38 different images. George Lucas wanted to buy the original work. Jason said its 38 pieces George said yes he wants everything. So Uncle George helped them get a new home. Yelena is the one who takes care of the shipping and the orders. They are a great team and now they each have a work space at their home.

Morena’s panel followed Jason’s. I think we were all in shock with her pixie cut. She looks beautiful of course just very different. She looked happy and animated and ready for whatever was to come. She has been working on a couple of Independent movies that is why her hair is cut so short. I must say the questions were not up to par. Some were tech questions about episodes. One was directed to her dog. Another was about how she got the job on Firefly. It was quick one day got the call, next day auditioned, third day got the job. She spent one month at fight camp but her fight scene was half her and half stunt person. I did read to her the article about the next Bond movie. She just auditioned for it and hasn’t heard back but I can’t imagine someone better. So let’s all think shiny thoughts and cross all out fingers. Morena as the new Bond girl that could really be the opportunity she needs to have a breakout role. She would love to have that part. I am trying to remember what else she said. I know she told a story about a guest star that made a bad comment and Nathan defended her honor and told him he walked into a family here and he needs to apologize; no specifics but Nathan standing up for her was a great story. She talked about Adam and Alan fighting all the time about politics, she didn’t like that because they would get heated and would not stop. She had diner with Claudia Black when filming up in Vancouver, they had a great beef stew and some pastry dessert. I can’t really remember more. She was wonderful and it was entertaining when she brought her dog Rudy out and he did simple tricks.

After Morena’s panel was supposed to be Zoic Studios which I was looking forward to but they did not show up for some reason. After that was Yan Feldman and I am sorry I missed it but I was hungry so I went to eat with Saxon and Ewok. We were looking forward to Alan’s panel. We arrived a few minutes early so that we were able to look at the California Browncoat’s booth and took pictures with James and Lynn. Next to them was the QMX table and Geoffrey Mandel was there to sign the Blue Prints Reference Pack which was a must have for me. Then I heard, “Give a welcome to Alan Tudyk.” At that point I grabbed Saxon and in we went.

***More to come later I have to really think about what happened since it was just so much laughing going on throughout. Seeing the 3 of them on stage was lots of fun.
