So many sci-fi geeks are situated in Los Angeles we actually have to have sci-fi conventions here at least once a month. The December edition of The Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention happens this Sunday, Dec. 21, at the Shrine Auditorium Expo Center, 700 West 32nd St. in Los Angeles.

And Joss Whedon, who created “Firefly,” “Angel” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” is going to be there at 1 p.m. to flog his absurdly hilarious, moving and life-affirming “Firefly” DVD.

Aaaaaand … he’s bringing two of the other greatest writer-producer-directors of all time, Tim Minear and Ben Edlund, with him!!

Aaaaaand … he’s bringing most of the “Firefly” regulars, including Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin, Ron Glass, Adam Baldwin and Gina Torres, with him!!

Yikes!! Find more details here.

Maybe they’ll drop some hints about that new “Firefly” movie they’re planning to shoot for Universal early next year! (Our most reliable sources, by the way, suggest that rumors of the movie being “grounded” or “delayed” are way way way wrong; “Firefly,” at least for the moment, continues to move forward toward the certain glory of its motion picture rebirth!)

Lung fluid buildup permitting, I’ll see you there. No power in the ‘verse …
