If comic-con is the place for the ultimate prophetic-popsters and the Browncoat booth is one of the hottest booths, what does that tell you about the Joss Whedon fandom? Is it possible that we are The Illuminati and we just don't know it?
I love think we are slaves to our passion for all things 'Verse but we are actually shaping the "real" verse. (All we're missing is a few hundred thousand pairs of blue gloves or a briefcase full of Wonderfulonium.)

* Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Ooh - that reminds me - I have to listen to All Things Considered this PM. They usually do letters on Thursday. I want to see if anyone mailed about Dr. Horrible.
I really hope the SCB's have "the" happening booth. They do so many wonderful things.

Speak for yourself, the rest of us are currently plotting the New World Order as I type this. ;)
And on the Klingon note, it was only after reading that trope site that I found out that Klingons have changed in appearance over the years and over the different series. I imagine this poses all sorts of dilemmas for the wannabe Klingon cosplayers out there.

The Illuminati, I wish, for some of us the Henchmens union is pretty much it.

Yeah, I'm feelin' pretty Moist right about now.

On an equally surreal celebrity note, Kevin Spacey was in the next set of seats over from me on the train down to San Diego - couldn't take my eyes off of him - even when he was asleep. I'm maybe gonna go to hell for the photo I took... Of a fraction of his face between the seats.
ET: fix typo - am on iPhone - it's a little trickified to see what you're typing...

I'm not sure a picture of someone framed by train seats is as romantic as one framed by leaves. That's if you can call stalking romantic at all . . .
Shame he was sleeping, otherwise you could've struck up one of those awkward "I know who you are, but you've never met me" conversations people have with celebrities when they're stuck in confined spaces.

I saw Stan Lee, Grant Morrison, Robert Rodriguez, Rose McGowan, Kevin Smith, Lucy Lawless (whom I asked a question about BSG!), Pia Guerra, Jaime King, and Gale Ann Hurd! Plus the assistant director on From Dusk Till Dawn who will be directing Red Sonja; unfortunately I can't remember his name.
And tomorrow is the Joss! (And I got a raffle ticket for the Dr. Horrible signing.)
And, oh yeah, I trolled the floor all day and couldn't find the friggin' Browncoat booth! What number is it?!

Saying it's Hot doesn't begin to describe how huge the response has been.
And yes the Reeve foundation as a small booth there. But I couldn't give you directions.

Heard about it from Bix and the saw it on QG's phone. It's pretty damn cool to see the Browncoats there mixed in with booths like Universal and Star Wars.
As for crowd control...it wasn't like this in 2005, the last huge year for Whedon fans at Comic-Con. We had a line down he aisle on preview night that lasted for all but the first few minutes of the show. And this was just to buy stuff, since no guests were there. Today people started lining up for the Guild signing with Felicia about 30-45 minutes in advance. It was a crazy, hectic, fun day. And it was only the first full day.
I really can't add too much right now. It was a busy 12 hour day, and we still have stock to sort and get ready to take down for tomorrow.
Also, a correction to the title. The booth is run by the California Browncoats. I don't want anyone short-changed by saying it's SoCal only. There are plenty of people from all over California making this happen. Not to mention volunteers from as far away as Canada! SoCal Browncoats is the social group here in southern California. CABC is the non-profit organization. It doesn't make much difference to most, but I like to make sure it's clear out there who does what.

Tis now been corrected :).

Is it just me, or am I the only one that immediately thinks of David Boreanaz when I hear the phrase 'Hot Booth'?
missb | July 25, 04:01 CET
Ok, boys and girls. Time to work out what that stands for.

Oh, the possibilities are endless ... like Joss' worlds.
Tonya J | July 25, 07:11 CET
Simon - Thanks for the fix!
