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*

Adam Baldwin is my favorite person right now. And apparently Nathan Fillion brought stuff to give out--I guess in lieu of con swag, but dude, stuff out of the back of Nathan Fillion's closet is so much better than swag.

I KNOW! I just have this mental image of him showing up with a box of old shirts and paperbacks and the porn he doesn't watch anymore and scarves and whatever and all I can think is, "OMG, as if I didn't already love him to bits."

And then he gave away the box. I love him so much.

As if I needed another reason to adore Nathan Fillion. He made Slither, I kept expecting Mal-isms...

"This is a copy of Harry Potter. There's nothing special about it whatsoever....except it's mine."--Nathan giving away his copy of HBP. And then his recipe for bean dip. (No, really)
My friend quaint_shopgirl got the box, heh.
I was there the whole time. I was there when Adam started walking into the lobby and we al lstarted singing Hero Of Canton and the Bedlam Bards started with accompanyment and augh. So great.
