Say what you will about the show ...

[apocalypsos]

... 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 that weren't enough, apparently Sheriff Lamb was also called in and joined the Bash.

Yep, he showed up on Saturday night when he found out through the Flanvention Helpline site that the thing was off (again.). He was supposed to show up there at the con as part ofthe BE Charitable thingy. I'm so pissed at myself cause I was on the bus back to the Hilton right as he showed up. D'oh. Ah well, can't complain. How many people can say they've hugged Niska, after all?
