Firefly at Memorabilia
http://www.memorabilia.co.uk
Joss Whedon’s short-lived Sci-Fi romp ‘Firefly’ may be gone, but it certainly isn’t forgotten. Firefly fandom is alive and well and is due to be celebrated at the upcoming Memorabilia show this Autumn.
The Firefly collection will be on public display this November 25th and 26th at the NEC in Birmingham. The collection comprises many hand props and costume items, documents, photographs and models.
This is the first time the collection has been shown in its entirety, anywhere in the world. Items of special interest for fans of the show include Mal Reynolds’ original Browncoat, Jayne’s favorite gun ‘Vera,’ and the only physical model of the ship ‘Serenity’ ever made.
Karl Derrick, the collectionÂ’s owner and a big Firefly fan, was a major contributor to the Official Firefly Companion book and will be on hand to sign copies and answer any questions visitors may have about the items on display.
A professional movie make up artist, Karl will also be entertaining visitors to the show (in the Halloween spirit) with a daily ‘zombie’ prosthetic make up demonstration. Karl’s film credits include, Gladiator, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, The Brothers Grimm, and The Mummy Returns. He has just completed ‘1408’, a Stephen King supernatural thriller, starring John Cusack and Samuel L.Jackson.

Were not all that bad lol, cant say the show has been worth it of late, the past few have been lacklustre IMO, but i may go to this one, i may be surprised as its only a few minutes from my door. If anyone needs pics let me know i may be able to help if they cant make the venue.
