Actually, I think I may have seen it - I was driving through Philly heading for the airport right as the tall ships were there - at least one of them MIGHT have been Serenity. Never saw the name, though.

I was on my way to NASA Johnson, though, so perhaps that's a good omen!

We should TOTALLY charter them for a shindig, that would be shiny!
