I've seen this floating around my flist and it's such a cool story it bears repeating.
Apparently the organisers of Flanvention, a Serenity/Firefly convention, went belly-up and cancelled at the very last moment, even though many fans had already arrived at the hotel for the event. So what happens? Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Mark Sheppard, Jonathan Woodward, Christina Hendricks and Adam Baldwin turn up anyway and start partying with the fans! Apparently Nathan Fillion even cleaned out his closet and started giving stuff away!!
How could you not love these people after reading that? Other actors would be bitching about not getting their appearance money, but these guys love their fans so much they went completely out of their way to say thank you to the people who support them. It warms the cockles of my heart it does.

One more reason to think Firefly was the best thing to ever happen to television.

* though the audience did wind up covering their bar tab, which, considering there were only something like 25 of us in the audience and the band was comprised of alcoholics, turned out to be a fairly expensive proposition *snicker*
