Back in December 2005 I went to the Big Damned Flanvention. It was a small convention for fans of Joss Whedon's show Firefly and movie Serenity. Most of the cast was there, and I had really good seats! Here are some pics from the Flan:
The guys from the cast of Serenity: Nathan Fillion (Captain Malcolm Reynolds), Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb), Ron Glass (Shepherd Derrial Book), Sean Maher (Dr. Simon Tam), and Alan Tudyk (Hoban "Wash" Washburn). This picture was taken with no zoom; like I said, really good seats. =)
The women from the cast of Serenity: Summer Glau (River Tam), Morena Baccarin (Inara Serra), and Jewel Staite (Kaylee Frye). Gina Torres (Zoe Washburn) was not able to attend the convention, we missed her.
Jewel telling a story. I sat at a table with her for the banquet Saturday evening, she was a very nice person to talk to.
Morena and Sean cracking up, I don't remember what the story was...
Sean, Summer, and Jewel.
Our hero enters. We weren't expecting Joss Whedon (creator of Firefly/Serenity, as well as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) to show up, it was a surprise. Very cool.

An original prop from Firefly, the episode "Jaynestown." It was later auctioned.
I'll post some more pictures up here soon. I didn't take all that many, I used my camera mostly for short videos. I'd post them here, but I only have 20 megs of space! Pay no attention to the random media player window below. I'm experimenting with putting one of my videos from the Flanvention here. There's no file uploaded yet, so it doesn't do anything. Coming soon!
