Serenity cast saves Con!!!!!!

Firefly convention gets cancelled at the last minute but the cast still shows!From Akin's World:

All in all, the weekend was very cool, especially considering that there was no alternative. The California Browncoats pulled off a miracle here... and fans worldwide have helped out by donating more than 5K as of Saturday night, the last time I heard an official count! These are folks who had nothing to do with Flan, who were not coming on there own, but who took money from their pocket and donated it to help pay for the B3... the weekend might actually be in the black, last I heard... excess goes to Equality Now, if I heard correctly.

And the Big Damn Heroes... has anyone ever heard of any actor attending an event for free? I haven't... yet none of them were paid. SEE MORE PICS!

From the California Browncoats website:

"Booster Entertainment apologizes for the great inconvenience, but due to unforeseen circumstances, Flanvention is cancelled. An official notice will be posted within 10 days."

This is, of course, a huge imposition for all of us who spent hundreds and even thousands of dollars on our tickets, photos ops, special events, accommodations and airfare, are are not able to get refunds at such short notice. Over 150 people from across the country and overseas are already at the hotel, with more expected on Friday.

However, Browncoats are extremely resourceful.

Whedonverse fans are the coolest!
