2006 Grand Slam Breakfast and SD Comic Con

2006 Pasadena Grand Slam and San Diego Comic Con

This year was the year after Serenity. It did not make the big box office splash we had hoped for. But still the fan base kept growing. More and more and more new Browncoats enlisted in the hope and desire to make Firefly/Serenity fly again. Done the Impossible is a Fan documentary and it documented everything we went through from Firefly to Serenity.

It appears that my report writing suffered a bit this year but we continued to get together. It ain't over because we are still here and we still want more; more fun with Browncoats, more doing good works like the Charity Screenings of Serenity. It is amazing what a little show has done.

Grand Slam Breakfast March 2006

The Grand Slam Breakfast was due to Odile's connections. It was a Firefly Happy Hour before but this year it was a breakfast. Adam, Morena and Summer were there. I clearly remember Adam. I can't remember what the ladies said but I remember they looked beautiful and charming.

The panel later was also lots of fun.

San Diego ComicCon 2006

I did not write a report for this Con. I am trying hard to recall but I can’t. It was a year after Serenity.  Before Chuck I think,before Terminator before Jewel joined SG: Atlantis.  Joss was working on Wonder Woman and Goners. It was not the best of times.

I remember that my friend Odile who loved ComicCon, Firefly, Sci-Fi and all things Con related died 2 weeks prior to ComicCon. I actually attended her Funeral and said a few words on behalf of Browncoats. She was awesome. I also remember working the Browncoat Booth for the fundraiser. I remember I was in Ballroom 20 but I can’t recall who was there. I did run into Odile’sHubbby and we walked and talked and had dinner and then went to see the screening of Done the Impossible. I know Saxon was there.  I remember I worked the booth the next day as well and said bye to Odile’sHubby at the Browncoat booth. 

Maybe there was no BDH stuff to report and that is why I can’t remember it. I am looking at the 2006 schedule I think I just went Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday

I remember I saw the Top Cow panel of Freshmen. A comic by Seth Green about College kids who become Super heroes.  I was always a fan of Seth Green.  The screening of Done the Impossible was Saturday night. I remember leaving Ballroom 20 with Odile’s Hubby however looking at the schedule I can’t recall a single moment. Weird.  Top Cow ended at 1230.  In Ballroom 20 we have Stargate Panels SG1 and Atlantis, that I vaguely remember but it may have been a different year that I remember.  Followed by TV Guide Presents 2006. I am remembering Jorge Garcia’s hair. I am not remembering Veronica Mars (sorry) I think we left before that panel started. I probably didn’t know that was next because I was wandering a lot during that Con. I remember leaving and walking to the Marriott then we went to dinner then to the screening of Done the Impossible.

I also remember that I stayed in Hotel Circle with a king bed and 4 teenagers: my sister, her friend, boyfriend and his brother. I believe they spent a lot of time on the Exhibit Hall floor and playing the video games.

Sunday

I went to church in the morning. Then I remember working the booth when I said bye to Odile’sHubby. After that I went to the California Browncoats’ meeting where they have lots of prizes and a few speakers. I think this was the year they asked me to MC at the beginning while they had some stuff to take care of.  It was a lot of fun.

I guess as I pulled this from the bottom, lower back shelf of my brain I realize I didn’t write anything because there was not much to write about. It was really just a big shindig with Browncoats that I love.
