If you happen to come across the calendar view of this blog, you’ll notice that nothing was posted on Sunday. It’s easy to explain. We — me, son Eric and friend Dennis — went to a fanboy convention in Springfield, MA to meet actress Jewel Staite. Actually, Dennis went to meet Monkee Peter Tork, but I don’t think he minded meeting Jewel.
Blame it on my friend Bismo! It’s his fault. He got us into watching DVD’s of the short-lived 2002 TV show Firefly, which is best described as an outer space western. Staite played the character Kaylee, the space ship’s mechanic. It’s like this, see? The ship’s engine has a glowing yellow tail, that’s supposed to make it look like a firefly and the significance of that is, well, uh …. never mind. There is no significance. But anyway, that’s where we were on Sunday.
Next weekend we get to meet Morena Baccarin, another cast member from the show, at yet another geeky fanboy-filled event. Hey, somebody’s gotta do the tough job of showing these struggling actors that their hard work is appreciated!
