Last year it was SRO for the 4-5 that I attended, including the Smackdown of science vs ghostbusters. Loads of fun. Also great was the GeekGroup's singing Tesla Coils.....a must-see in person if you get the chance. @Tom,

Tough choice, and I no longer remember which side I took. I remember once debating some friends over which was the all-time best Kurt Russel movie: Big Trouble in Little China, or The Thing.

I got to go in '06 as a thank you from my wife, and I was psyched about the t6he guest list before he cancel. I didn't get around to doing anything firefly related last year. Instead my highlight was working the Venture Bros. fan table and meeting Doc Hammer.
