Until now.
CYPHAN — a brand-new science fiction, fantasy, and gaming convention — has locked in Staite to be a celebrity headliner at their first convention. The event is being held at the Westin Chicago North Shore from June 25 to June 27 in Wheeling, Illinois.
Jewel joins fellow actresses Nicki Clyne (“Cally” on Battlestar Galactica) and Julie Caitlin Brown (“Na’Toth” on Babylon 5) for the weekend festivities. The convention is also a franchise reunion of sorts, as several cast members from various Friday the 13th horror film installments will also be in attendance.
Jewel’s attendance is just on Saturday, but it will be a very full day for the actress. In addition to normal convention activities — a Q&A session with fans, photo opportunities, and an autograph session — Staite will also be the guest of honor at the Saturday evening “Browncoat Bash,” a special event for fans of Firefly. The bash (which will allow absolutely no photography whatsoever) will give Staite the chance to interact with her fans on a more personal and intimate level — and will also feature an open bar.
