A quick public post before I go F-locked :
I cannot believe what's happening with Flanvention. Yes, even with everything that's been going on, I still can't believe they officially cancelled less than 24 hours before the event was scheduled to start. There are no words for this level of mismanagement.
I'm so happy that
Adam Baldwin showed up. Apparently Mark Sheppard has also stopped by the hotel to see what was going on, and there are rumors of Adam and Nathan working something out for Saturday afternoon. If they, with the assistance of Browncoats, manage to pull something together, this will be the ultimate proof this fandom is one of the most amazing ever. Like, huge huge time.
One thing I keep thinking about is how wonderful it would be to try and capture what's happening there in a series of photos - the turmoil going on at the hotel, the uncertainty, the confusion, the instant sense of fellowship that usually springs up from being thrown into a mess together, and it's not like the Browncoats don't already have this sense of family bringing them together. It's the mess, the pain, the hopelessness and the energy to make something happen. In a way, I would love to be there just to witness that.
Of course, on the other end, it's a fucking mess and I feel so sorry for anybody who's there and I'm crossing my fingers so hard hoping Browncoats and the BDH will manage to make it a bit better.
Random but true : I love that picture of
Max / Daniela Sea.
EDIT : Okay,
Mark Sheppard is totally my hero for saying this. *LOVES*
