Well neat, Michael Muhney (Sherrif Lamb from Veronica Mars) showed up to the Backup Bash; his LJ entry is linked to in Whedonesque:
My night with the Browncoats. Veronica Mars' Sheriff Lamb tells all.

http://forums.prospero.com/foxfirefly/messages?msg=33365.8 Morena Baccarin and Ron Glass were there last night! How wonderful is this cast. I had a feeling Morena was going to show up this weekend... due to the fact we heard Christina say she'd just bring her as her guest lol, but when everything fell apart I didn't know if that was still going to be on. Gosh what a wonderful weekend for Browncoats :)
And a quote from Nathan Fillion which was posted by skeezycheese on Whedonesque: Words of wisdom from Mr. Fillion, who valiantly left the safety of the window booth at above-mentioned secret locale (a booth which he was sharing with his fellow Whedonverse stars), to mingle with us flans, and was standing two inches away from me when he said to all the flans crowding around (and I paraphrase here): "The convention is dead, let's just accept that and move on. Because at the convention, you'd get photos, and autographs, and souvenirs, but those are all things that can be taken away. But this [meaning our memories of this event] can't be."
Honestly, this is my Christmas story for the year. It makes me so happy to read about the little guy triumphing in the face of adversity AND so proud to be a Browncoat. I think the SoCal Browncoats deserve a standing ovation for putting this all together. They must be working round the clock down there and I'm so impressed with them. They've put together more in a week (and I think much of it in the past 3 days) than the original organizers did in a year. With every update things just get better and better. Claire Kramer opening up her restaurant 2 weeks early for a Browncoat party?! Awesome! I can't wait to talk with people who I know down there to hear about what they experienced. But the way the cast and fans have worked together to make this weekend a great one just makes me teary eyed.
