So I am back from the Weekend at Serenity Infinity. Despite being extremely disappointed that Adam Baldwin cancelled again and Sean Maher also pulled out (all due to work commitments so I am perversely pleased for them too) I think
acrazywench and I were determined to enjoy ourselves, still missing our third amiga
mara_sho who was poorly.
I don't think Sean Harry managed to get replacements - Richard Brooks was announced as such, but I feel certain he was already stashed away as a surprise guest, along with Nectar Rose & convention stalwart Jonathan Woodward. So a pretty thin line up compared to the normal standards - true, true we've been spoilt by the past Serenity cons here but most of the BDH's have all got regular gigs right now so.....
Enough twittering. Some snippets of trivia from the weekend. Morena has a new short haircut. Very chic and suits her beautifully. She told me at the cocktail meet & greet that it was because of work and not her choice but she might keep it for a while. Her boyfriend Austin was with her. She also was aware of the latest Serenity 2 rumour sparked from the Alan Tudyk interview but didn't have anything extra to add. Ellen Muth is tiny and loves the more bizarre questions in her Q&A. Nectar Rose has good taste in music - she did a set at the disco, and probably played the best stuff all night, without line dances. Richard Brooks is an awesome singer and told us that Jubal Early was planned as a recurring character, and that his part in Drive was going to become a regular too by the end of the Season, had the show made it past the fourth episode. Jonathan Woodward's father owns a pair of leather chaps and has lent them to Jonathan.
The final Starfury Serenity con was announced too - Yes, we have tickets. Morena will be there along with Mark Sheppard and his father. Mark is also bringing his good friend Jamie Bamber - sorry but I let out a squee when I heard that, making
acrazywench jump. So, so sad and at my age, I should know better. I'm hoping for some more BDH's and BSG guests. Another coup for Sean Harry is that Kristen Bell has confirmed for his Prison Break/VM gig next year too - as much as I admire Kristen I can't see me going to that.
fresleyforever celebrated her Birthday and even Nectar Rose remembered giving her a shout out at the closing ceremony. There is a theory that
fresleyforever may be spending the whole of 2008 attending conventions - there are so many.
Here is the exquisite Ms Baccarin
