Firefly stars show up at canceled convention

| 0 Comments

The headline sounds rather dark and ominous, but the reality is anything but. Here's a short summary of the story. Booster Entertainment runs an event called "Flanvention", a convention for Firefly fans. The day before the convention, they cancel the event without warning, citing unseen circumstances.


Left in a lurch, the California Browncoats ride to the rescue -- they decide instead to host the Backup Bash for all those who would have attended the convention. At the hotel bar, Firefly stars began showing up and partying with the attendees of the Backup Bash. I think the way that everything managed to pull together is just too cool for words.
