A think somebody should write an entire book on how companies fuck Firefly related things up, and then fans end up dealing with it. There's been a few examples.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
It warms the cockles that about half the guests who were due to attend have turned up anyway, despite not actually being paid to do it, or have security etc.
I think by the time the weekend is over it's quite possible all of them will have turned up at one time or another. Minus Jewel, who's in Canada. (Booster didn't pay for her airfair - surprise surprise!).
I just got back from the Hilton. Nathan, Alan, Mark, Jonathan Woodward and Christina were all there. Someone mentioned that Adam was there also, but I didn't see him.
Tamara, did you see Alan? He'd been cancelled as BE said he was filming.
He was there. All scruffy looking with a beard and a cute blue hat. And don't you know by now that everything BE said was lies?
Hee.
Sorry T, didn't want to sound like I was questioning your eyes, I'm just going to Whedonesque the photos and wanted to make certain.
I'm sorry, I'm a big sappy sap. I'm just sitting here crying at these people showing up without any sort of paycheck, just because they once worked on something that people responded to. It's a little overwhelming.
No worries, Kevin. I didn't take it that way.
Everyone at the Hilton thought it was pretty amusing that BE couldn't pay Alan to be there, but he would show up for free for the fans.
Beverly, there was a lot of love in that hotel lobby and bar. Christina was basically holding court in the bar. She looked like she was having a great time.
I've been doing a bit of actual digging on what happened at BE today. The two owners have started blaming each other for the problems, but I've been looking at the stories and they don't add up. At all. There's some outright lies about events yesterday. It's just shameful.
