First off, I apologise if I shouldn't create this thread or if its in the wrong place! I'm still getting used to fff.net, so bare with me

Anyway. There's a convention in the Thistle Hotel, Heathrow, London, England. April 29th to May 1st. Its a Starfury ( http://www.starfury.co.uk/) convention and the page is here ( http://www.seanharry.com/serenity/index.htm). The only confirmed guest so far is Morena Baccarin, however having spoken to Sean Harry (the organiser) via phone, he believes that the full cast is going to be there. I'm just praying for Summer, Jewel, Nathan (who incidentally, I met last year at the Starfury Fusion convention) and Sean.

My tickets are already booked. So, my question... anyone else planning on joining me there?! Come on folks, you know you can't resist heading there..


Current Announced Guests:

Morena Baccarin
Alan Tudyk
Jewel Staite
Summer Glau
Nathan Fillion

Don't worry Phoebe, I already have my convention tickets paid for,
I think a lot of browncoats will be going!

I haven't heard back from the hotel yet though, does anyone know if they are taking reservations yet?

See you in April!

The Thistle, if that's the hotel you meant, are taking reservations. I actually called up the hotel the day before I called Starfury. Apparently you can get a small discount if you're at the convention. I'm going with a friend, sharing a roomand its £35 per night when dividing the room cost between us. I've already got a receipt thing (not sure what exactly they call it LOL) from the hotel. Just waiting to hear back from Starfury, though from my experience with Fusion last year, it might not be soon.

Nice to know you're going!

Tickets and rooms booked (there's 5 of us so it gets expensive) - apparently parking is no problem, so we don't have to carry any costume stuff on the underground, for which I'm bvery grateful. I'm so looking forward to it.

*quivering with excitement* I hadn't heard anything about this at all!! My friends and I were originally planning to attend the premiere in LA the week before, but I think I would rather combine the trip I've always wanted to take to England with some Firefly-lovin'!!! I think, of course, whether or not I could convince my friends to go with me would be dependent on the attendance of the majority of the cast. (And, possibly, JOSS???? Could that be too much to hope for??? Is that too greedy???)

*wheels turning, brain working feverishly*

"And so on."

Tickets are £70, under 14's are £30 and under 7's go free.

Hotel rooms are available for £59:50 B&B per night for a single room and £77 B&B per night for a twin or a double room. There is a charge of £5 per day for parking. When I called the hotel in August there were no family rooms available.

At the con photos are usually £10 for a picture with 1 guest, it increases for guest groups (at Fusion Nathan, Summer and Jewel together cost £25)

You get one item autographed for free, then you can purchase photos and get them signed. The photos usually cost £10. I think you can get a total of 4 autographs per guest.

The cons are a lot of fun and are a great way to meet fellow fans.

I've only known of this board about a week, and only known of firefly about three weeks, but the sense of community is frankly awesome. Hell, even the cast of the show seem to be in on it.

does anyone know how many tickets there will be for this convention?
I have no idea how big this Starfury events usually are.
some hundred or some thousand?

and do we know yet if the movie is gonna be out in the UK at 29.4.? it's a bit weird to have a convention and no one has seen thew movie yet, right? except for downloads of some bad cams of course. it's a whole big spoiler problem if some have seen the movie and some don't, right?

in other words I think about maybe coming too, but I'd have to fly over and get a room and all in all it's gonna cost me a bunch of money. and I'm really not sura about anything. if I at least could see the movie in a theatre in the UK at the same time that would motivate me somehow. I'm not sure yet it's gonna be shown in germany at all and if it is it's gonna be dubbed and I really hate that.

It is going to be a 'small' con, so tickets should be in the hundreds - I would think 600-800 tickets will be offered.

No one knows when the movie will be premiered in the UK. They will try to premier in as many places as possible, but there is no guarantee.

The convention is for 'Firefly' fans so it won't matter if you haven't seen the movie. I think it is called Serenity more in honour of the ship, than in relation to the film.

don't you think the most questions will be about the film?
and if the film's not released in the UK when the convention takes place none of the questions will be answered because that's spoilers and Joss hates those.
so if you have seen the film you will want to talk about it but since you shouldn't have seen the film no one will talk about it with you.
it think that's gonna be awkward. I wouln't know if I'd want to see the film in advance so that I don't get spoiled if someone talks about it or if I don't want to watch it before becaue it would be frustrating to have interesting questions about the film or just comments or praise or whatever and no be allowed to talk about it becaue it would spoil everyone else.

just my thoughts.

thanks about the ticket estimate by the way. small sounds nice but unfortunately also like you have to decide now if you want to go because it will sell out fast.

I just don't want to decide as long as I don't know the UK release date. I don't want to fly to the UK twice because of Serenity and I really want to see it on a big screen in english. I'm not so sure about wanting to attend a convention.

There is a possibility I will be hopping a plane and coming. I'm actually a US Browncoat, but I haven't been to England since April of 03 and I'd really love to go back, and a Serenity convention seems the perfect reason. Anyway, not set in stone, but I hope to join you all there!

Another UK Browncoat already booked and looking forward to the con (my first ever, a a very grown-up age :P)

Shiny, shiny rumour about the whole cast coming - just hope it's true!

A previous rumour was that, even in Serenity hadn't opened properly here in the UK, a special screening may be arranged as part of the con. Only a rumour, but it would make sense, and avoid the spoiler worry.

Earlier this year I met Nathan, Summer and Jewel, and at this coming convention is Summer again who is very very very lovely, and our very own Tracy, Jonathan M Woodward, one of the hat-tricks from Joss universe, plus some Angel guests, so its gonna be wicked fun.

Maybe see some of you there.

That's what Sean Harry said he was hoping to do, the cast have all expressed interest because its around the time of the movie's release. That's what was said when I spoke to him on the phone... an indication that the film's UK release date is April also? Or just the world premiere? The theory of having a private screening at the convention, though... shiny!

I concur with the last speaker before me, Browncoats are never alone. On that note I'm going to Starfury Serenity and will be accomopanied by three, if not five other Dutch browncoats. I do have to say though, there are a lot of threads about this con, spread all over the place.
I also know that Serenity (The Film) will have ti's Dutch premiere on May5th 2005 and it's french premiere around that time too. Still waiting for word from UIP for the British opening date.

Now that we're facing a *DELAY* in the BDM premiere, the daughter and I are considering the possibility of flying to Jolly Old Heathrow for this Starfury convention. Can anyone tell me...

1) Must we call England for tickets, or is there a stateside way to go about it?

2) Eek - is it sold out?

3) What are Starfury conventions like? The website lists the featured guests and reservation info, but I don't see a schedule of events

Any British Browncoats wanna clue us in?
We would so appreciate it!

Okay, here's what help I can offer:

1) I got my tickets by sending a cheque to the guy by post, so you could do the same (I doubt he'd have any problem with sending the tickets internationally, there's only about 50p difference in price for postage.)

2) I spoke to the guy a few days ago and it certainly didn't sound close to being sold out. But then again I know lots of people have bought tickets so it won't be empty/cancelled either.

3) Starfury conventions are very, very experienced in organising such events. I have no idea what they have lined up for this one but they do have a good reputation, try having a look around the web for reviews of other conventions they have organised.

Plus of course, even if you hate the convention and walk away vowing to picket against the movie when it comes out, you would get to see England with your daughter. I would recommend not spending the entire trip in Heathrow though, there's a reason why it's only one letter away from Deathrow.

Hope that's at least slightly helpful.

The Starfury event will be a lot like Sean's previous conventions. It will start with registration on the Friday afternoon and there will be an opening ceremony at which as many of the guests as possible will appear to say hi to the crowd. There will then be a meet and greet party for the first 170 people to have purchased tickets. The rest of the Friday night will be a party (usually themed somehow).

Saturday will probably start with a photo session with a set number of guests and there will most likely be talks on stage and screening of episodes interspersed. The people in the photo session will usually swap places at some point.

The talks will go on almost all day. The Main Hall will close to prepare for the evening party and fancy dress competetition and re-open around 7:30pm.

The actors will probably sign autos from 4:30pm - 7pm. The fancy dress competition is judged by the guests and is followed by another party with a different theme. The parties usually go on until around 3am.

Sunday will follow a similar pattern to Saturday and will end with the closing ceremony and final party again ending around 3am.

Sean Harry is one of the biggest convention organisers in the UK and is very well regarded by attendees who have been enjoying his various events for many years. I would recommend this event totally as the guests have proved time and time again how much they enjoy partying with the fans.

The only problem will be that cameras will be barred from the Main Hall in the evenings at the parties to allow the actors to feel they can relax without having a flash pushed in their face at every opportunity.

Summer and Nathan LOVE attending Sean's conventions having appeared at two and have spoken to other cast members about it and I think that everyone is excited about appearing (Jewel and Morena have also attended one of Sean's events each).

Book now while there is still time and tickets...

Many Thanks --Andy, Not-Simon - to BOTH of you :)

You're a big help.

So, I should contact the organizer himself - by email if I cannot manage the international phone codes? The activities sound lovely. Fancy dress party included. You do realize, of course, that we yanks rarely 'dress up' unless its a funeral or a wedding, so you'll have to let me know if this is fancy COSTUME or fancy FORMAL clothes?

My daughter and I have been to England on one prior occasion, and she's anxious to return ("and meet cute British browncoat guys!") Sigh.

The husband has overheard our scheming...he seems resigned to our blowing the money on this trip...hmmm, IT --MIGHT -- BE -- POSSIBLE!!

Wouldn't be lovely if I could get some more of my U.S. browncoat buddies to join us?

To be honest Sean is not always readily available by email as he gets hundreds of emails daily I am guessing. It is always better for you to speak to him by phone if you can. I know it has sometimes taken ages to get a reply by email from him if it arrives at all!

The "fancy dress" is a costume parade for our friends from overseas! The dressing up in character is not compulsory but for many people it adds to the fun of the event and each of the three parties will have a costume theme which you can follow if you wish but there is no obligation. Many just dress as they normally would regardless of the themes. There is no pressure to join in with this!

Any more questions fire away.

He does have an email address it is seanharry@aol.com but as I mentioned above he is VERY busy and is unlikely to replt to general enquiries, you are better calling him by phone. That is my advice.

I second what Andy has said. It is far better to contact Sean by phone and book your ticket. Just remember the time difference - Sean usually takes bookings from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm UK time.

As far as costumes, again as Andy has pointed out, some people do dress up in the evenings depending on what themes are announced on the website, although many of us do not dress up (except for the meet and greet).

As someone who has worked for Starfury for a while now, my totally unbiased (!!) opinion is that they are the most fun conventions, and I am sure you will both have a great time.
