Short notice cancellation from Alan Tudyk - but it sounds as if it was for work so, great for Alan.  This is the final Serenity/Firefly Convention for Starfury (in the UK - but no mention made of future LA events)

The incredibly awesome acrazywench foolishly admitted that she did shorthand so there hopefully will be some transcripts at a later stage of the Q&A's and the ever lovely mara_sho (jedi apprentice) took notes too so here's hoping.
So I've just flicked quickly through all the photos and have picked some for each Guest - First our BDH Adam Baldwin. 


Not  many silent moments in the Q&A's this time, so opportunities to get good shots without  the microphone in the way were few, but I think these aren't too bad. . 

( More pictures this way... )

So Book and Badger are done. I am quite pleased with Book, he looked so stern in the painting I did last time. Ron is not due to appear but I am being optimistic. Super optimism will hopefully give me time to do Gina before the weekend. I'd also like to do another Mal, just because he is so pretty.

Normally conventions are far better for meeting whedonverse actors than signings but Collectormania 10 is shaping up to be sooo exciting. I have just seen that Elisabeth Rohm has been announced, so I am doing the 'dance of joy'. Along with 'Kate' we will also have 'Holland' Sam Anderson, 'Tara' Amber Benson, 'Jayne' (woot) Adam Baldwin, 'Maggie Walsh' Lindsay Crouse, 'Patience' from Serenity- Firefly and finally 'Drusilla' Juliet Landau. I have only met Juliet so that is a great line up (cross fingers no cancellations).

And finally

My thoughts are with all the people who lost relatives and friends in 9/11. We won't forget.

Things you do for family. The in-laws were here for Easter bless 'em. I am very lucky, they are great people although Pappy does drink the house dry. So we all over compensate by filling our glasses very full, for fear that the next time we reach for the bottle it will be empty.

Anyway I'm rambling, Pappy wanted to visit Northcote 'heavy horse' sanctuary, you know Shires and Percherons etc. We went on Monday and I was pleasantly surprised. I am not a 'horsey' person, I find them illogically intimidating for such gentle creatures. My girl was keen, so step up Mum and do your duty. The horses were gorgeous. Big and smelly but wonderful. We met the tallest horse in the UK (missed out on the world record by about half a finger or something) - He is called 'Cracker' which is appropriate.
