Say what you will about the show ...

... but the fandom itself can be awesome.

In case you hadn't already heard, the people who were running the Firefly con being held this weekend cancelled at the last minute. And when I say the last minute, I mean the day before. A week or so ago when they'd admitted they were having difficulties, some fans offered to help only to have the people in charge respond that it was okay and they could handle it. Then -- BOO.

So even though it was last minute (and because a lot of already paid-for stuff was nonrefundable), people came anyway fully expecting it just to be a bunch of fans hanging out.

Then Adam Baldwin showed up, free of charge, just to hang.

Then he made some phone calls.

Then a whole bunch of the other actors showed up.

Oh, FANDOM. *cuddles everybody*

If you haven't heard this already, you'll probably like this story.

When Out of Gas was finished, the news of the cancelation had already come down the pike and Whedon said he was gong to find a way to get Serenity back in the air, no matter what. Tudyk stole the Big Red Button and sent it to Joss in the mail with the note that said,"When you get your miracle - just push. We'll be there."
