Well I checked with the con organization and they estimate an audience of 350-400 people for this con so its kinda small. Next to it will be a star trek con with an estimated audience of 900 people. So guest time should be good. But then its a Firefly/Serenity only con. While I like Ff a lot it feels a bit limited for 2 days (not sure if its actually 2 full days). I mean if you would have a Firefly Day and a something else day that would make more sense. If you look at Starfury there were stars from different series right? That would be more appealing to me. But these guys at creationent seem to have a thing for one series con's.

As for traveling from Europe yeah that is kind of a stretch. For starters is a 10 hour flight if not more. So I would go at least a day in advance to get rid of jetlag. I also like California so I've been thinking of staying longer like 2 weeks or so and make it a holiday. But then November isn't really the time of year I had in mind for visiting the Sunny state.

No guests have been confirmed yet. They say they are working on getting contracts signed and will announce as soon as possible (maybe end of may or sometime in june). As a series Firefly at least had a much bigger main crew then say Tscc so more guests to have. I guess if either Summer or Jewel State be there I would seriously consider attending then con. Jewel is without a doubt my number 2 favorite actress after Summer ofc! So if they would both attend...

Dekker at T2 that's a good start. Not that it means anything on its own but I think Summer would be more compelled to go to a con if Dekker's there too.

They told you the second convention is Star Trek? They've not announced it yet.

Southern California isn't bad during November.

Yep they told me a Trekkie con would be the other event. I was a bit surprised myself since they haven't announced it yet. But they did. Anyway I would prefer a Stargate or Bsg con next door. While I like Trek as well I would prefer the others.

Also I got another reply from them about tickets. So you can't get a refund or exchange for a later con ticket but you can still transfer your ticket to someone else. You just need to let them know and get a written approval letter to whomever will take your place. That's cool. Not unlike Fedcon handles things.

The 2nd con last year was Stargate. Even though I don't care for it, I was expecting BSG this year.

I love Star Trek. I've been to a couple conventions with guests from Star Trek. But those conventions around where I live are mostly generic with comics and anime.

Don't get me wrong I like Star Trek alot and they have 5 series and a bunch of movies to choose actors from so that shouldn't be a problem. Its just that I'm more interesed in other series at the moment.

Anyway. I checked the Creation Entertainment site again and found out there's another double con happening 2 weeks before the Firefly/Star Trek one. Its a Farscape/Stargate con. That's not bad at all if making a trip from Europe and you can do 2 con's after another. It would be better if they would be one weekend after another like T1 and Fedcon were this year.

As for guests on the Firefly con I guess at least Summer might make a decision once Fox made up its mind about Tscc. She was there last year right?

Yes, she was there last year and the year before and probably the year before that, which was the first. I don't know what their filming schedule is like, but when she appears at that con, it's on Sunday, which I figure is a day off for her. I can't imagine her filming 7 days a week.

Well I guess the chances for Summer attending this convention are pretty good then. Better then say Starfury Mission Cylon Attack on november 27-29 which is a firefly/bsg con which could indicate they might ask Summer. Though I don't think she would fly to the UK for a second time this year. All will depend on her work as well I guess. I think if Tscc is renewed chances are good she'll be at this LA firefly con. But if Tscc is not renewed then there's no telling what her shedule might be like.

Also I took another look at the Creation Entertainment con info which says for the gold tickets:
2) Complimentary in-person autographs from appearing celebrities offered in a non-hurried manner from guests.

3) Complimentary admission to the famous DESSERT PARTY with the stars on Saturday Night. This event, surely a highlight of the convention, is exclusive to GOLD WEEKEND Patrons. Music, delicious desserts, fellow fans from around the globe, celebrities and a cash bar to keep it hopping. Guests will be joining us not only from Firefly/Serenity but also from a second genre show. Last year it was Stargate, for 2009 the topic is still be determined.

4) Seating at the Sunday Morning Celebrity Brunch, another super-cool exclusive to GOLD WEEKEND PATRONS event. Always awesome! Once again you'll welcome FIREFLY/SERENITY stars and celebrities from another genre show to be announced.
Sounds pretty good for the gold tickets. Though gold ticket price looks a bit steep for a 2 day event if you compare it to Starfury. Its like double the price for less!

The celebrety brunch is like the meet and greet at starfury.
You 're sitting at a table and the guest will join the table for i don't know 5 - 10 minutes.
I don't know if its true but could be that in the last years Summer was there for just 1 day?

And you're right i don't think that Summer will attend the Starfury Cyclon Attack this year. But you never know.

Right. Summer was there only on Sunday. All of the actors basically had one day or the other. I believe in the year before last, Alan and Nathan showed up on both days simply to screw around with and taunt each other during their talks.

I didn't know about the UK Firefly convention in November...Just something else to mess with my head.

firefly convention uk was that november past or is there going to be one november this year?
