Don't think there will be; no cameras were allowed to be brought to the bar Saturday night, most likely to avoid having the BDH's and company blinded by hundreds of flashes going off every second.

But I'm sure there'll be plenty of pix posted from the rest of the weekend.

painisscary is right (oh my, true sentence, and disturbing...):
we were not allowed to bring any cameras to Clare Kramer's (husband's) bar, so there are no pictures from that event, but it would have been hard to take any anyway....
do you remember that original Star Trek episode about the planet that was so unbelievably crowded? Cause that is what the bar was like on Saturday night: 300 people shoved in like sardines in a space that shouldn't be booked for 50!

But it was amazing to see Morena and Ron, they both looked VERY pretty! (I love my BDHs!)

I hope there are some great photos of Tim Minear's live commentary of Ariel on Sunday, because I was in the back of the room and couldn't take any. He was so funny, and kinda ADD...
he cannot complete one sentence without three digressions, and he is the spoiler KING (it must drive Joss crazy). He was constantly saying "well, I shouldn't tell you this..."
LOL

And did I mention that I adore my Big Damn Heroes?

We weren't allowed to take pix at the place they were. All of the actors there appeared without permission from their management.

Ok, seriously, I must know the story behind that quote. Did you tell the story elsewhere? If so, I'm sorry I missed it. It has been so hard to find all these bits and pieces of stories from the Flan 2 Alternative.

So were you drunk? Or was Nathan drunk? And what was gonna "fall off"?
:P Thanks!!

Okay, well Nathan Fillion was doing cattle call photos on Friday night, so I only had time to shake his hand. I'm right handed and one of my fingers (on my right) got slammed in a door that morning. So I said "Oh not that hand, the other one! That ones busted!"

So on Saturday night at the club, he was making his way to the bathroom and I met him for real. I said to him, "Yeah I met you before. You shook my busted hand." I showed him the band-aid (the pad got sliced) and he said "That doesn't look busted. That looks like paper cut." (he was in fact v. inebriated.) I showed him the nail (v. black and nashtay) and he was like "Oh! You know that's gonna fall off!"

Thanks for the story, danni!
That Nathan... after hearing your story and his other "drunken" stories lately, I think he may need to change his myspace profile from non-drinker. ;)

I'm not sure that I would want adoring fans around while I'm getting drunk, what with everyone watching your every move and recapping online. :)

I hope your finger is better!

Nathan Fillion just posted HIS report at his MySpace
I'm not a member so I can't read it...
would someone please bring it here so we can all see it?!

oh never mind, here it is carried via the OB:
Quote:

CLICK HERE FOR AUTOGRAPH, INTERVIEW, and ANY REQUESTS

So many of you have so many requests that involve me having to do work building websites, running to the post office, or just re-arranging my social calender. So many requests I could fill my days! Well, I finally worked out a way to appease all you foks who don't read my super cool blogs and ask for stuff anyway. Just find this here site and all will be taken care of!

http://www.zombo.com/

So, the Flan thing. What a disaster. um... that it COULD have been, I mean. Now, I don't know how to arrange and organize conventions, but since the thing was cancelled, I see no reason not to be refunded. Not the airline tix, but there was no con! I sure hope you folks saved your receipts. A good rule of thumb for how long you should spend ensuring the safe return of your hard earned wages? Take the amount spent on con ticket, divide by how many hours it took you to earn it, then square that number based on principal. Don't be afraid to be versed in legalese, be sure to save all co-respondence, always be civil and polite, and don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.

Saw some folks at the Hilton and La Cantina that I've met across the pond, saw some new folks, too. Looks like you guys really got the short end of the stick, but you took that stick, and... well, you know the rest. Props to Clare Kramer for extending her hospitality. A tip of the hat to Sean Harry, who connected folks and orchastrated as best he could at 4 am, London time. Way cool Michael, Mark, Ron, Christina, Camden, MORENA- who wasn't even invited! That was awkward. Who told her, anyway? C'mon, guys. Loose lips and all, with the ships? It's getting really hard to ditch her. I regret I didn't meet that nice VM fellow. Next time. Thanks for all the drink offers, sorry I was a nerd and drove, so- DRINKY STINKY. (Points to anyone who gets that reference. The list will be short.) It was a different feeling, for sure. Maybe what I was feeling was the collective sigh of relief from the way out-of-towners. Maybe I was feeling the community that has come to define Browncoats time, and time again. Maybe I was feeling the hands of those two giggling drunksters who thought it would be a great idea to manhandle my a$$ while I'm trying to be cool and say hello to every person I could in that huge crowd. Ladies, and you know who you are, I deserve your CCR. Courtesy, consideration, and respect. That made me feel really bad. Next time, I single you out and let everyone know that you are the reason why I'm leaving early. It'd be kinda like leaving you for the Reavers. (60% Mal, you know.) Still sound like a good idea? Sheesh.

OTHERWISE, thanks for all the gifts- the book, the scarf, the space monkey, my face on a dog tag (where can I wear something like that? I'm excited to wear it- but, WHERE?) just to name some of them. Oo! And I'm drinking some fancy Harrod's Tea. Makes me want to grow a handle bar mousetache and take over India or something. Most of all, thanks for keeping it alive, Browncoats. It really shakes my tree that this little show that couldn't- somehow, still does. Crazy. You Flans are indeed the best Flans a fella could hope for.
I also told you that I'd update you on my upcoming projects (the real purpose of this site).

Waitress made into Sundance. Woo Hoo! White Noise 2 comes out sometime in Jan, I think, and earlier in the UK (that oughta make somebody happy). I have a super secret thingy in London coming up soon, and YES- I have a new job on television. Not gonna say what, just yet. But I'll be working with someone I've worked with before and you all love him. Don't ask. You will, but don't. All will be revealed!
Cheers.
