Imagine you had an hour to sit down with Joss Whedon and pick his brain (in a curious, non-zombie kind of way). Screenwriter Jeffrey Berman is taking that hour for you.
I love conventions, mostly as an excuse to hang out with friends and fellow fans, but seeing celebrities is always nice as well. So it was with this mindset I set off to Burbank, California this past weekend (November 22-23, 2008) to attend Creation Entertainment’s Salute to Firefly and Serenity convention, their second convention celebrating this beloved franchise. I arrived at the Marriott hotel (where we had the famous Browncoat Backup Bash nearly two years ago now) excited to see old Browncoat friends, make new ones, and see some fun convention-relation celebrity-type stuff to boot. Here’s how it went down:
So, did you like the screening? We’ve noticed a few blogs, and a few YouTube posts, etc. around the net. Los Angeles’ first screening of The Guild and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog seems to have been a hit! As the Whedonopolis team begins to wind down and assume normal lives again, you’ll be able to see more posts here, from us, about the evening.
Halloween Night in West Hollywood now has a new address – the Regency Fairfax Theater at the charity screening of Joss Whedon’s cyber hit Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. As early as 7:30 PM people, dressed in their Halloween best goggles-and-labcoat, were lined up outside the theater on a balmy Halloween night, ready for the big-screen debut not only of Dr. Horrible but also The Guild, another internet-only show. The prints for both Dr. Horrible and The Guide were produced by Whedonopolis’ own DVD author, Josh Rubinstein, as exclusive movie-sized open-caption prints along with karaoke-style lyrics so that those who have not committed the libretto to memory could still sing right along.
