And I've seen how LMD packs. He's like George Jetson, everything folded up into this teeny tiny bag. Don't know how he does it.

So, really, it's just Cozen's stuff you have to be worried about. All those cases of scotch!

By any chance is there still room for 1 more? I'm a journalist who is covering the whole thing, but this week all three of my roommates backed out on me for various family/work reasons. :( I'll even take floor space, if necessary.

I'll send an email to your hotmail addy with my info.

Also, I'm driving up from Orlando, so if there are any Browncoats that want to carpool from the area, let me know. With gas prices the way they are, it'd be great to share (going up Thurs, coming back Mon).

Hi Zengrrl (waves back). Right now there's 4 but let me put it to a vote. The more Browncoats the merrier (and the cheaper). I also may have 2 other sets of friends that may have space. Plus my friends are driving up from Tampa and you may be able to hitch a ride. Send me your e-mail and I will see if I can help.

I'm very interested in your reporting. I write for an aviation internet resource and some other publications. Would love to catch up with you if we can't put you up.

I aim to misbehave!

I sent an email to you after I made my first board post, so I hope you got it ok (it'll be from my zengrrl.com email sent to your hotmail.com email). If I could room with you or with friends, that would be cool. I'd also love to hitch a ride with your Tampa friends, if they have space. :) Thanks for the info!

Feel free to share my contact info from the email I sent to any potential room or ride shares you think might have space for me.

A fellow journalist? Shiny! Yeah, we'll definitely have to compare notes.

Let me know if you didn't get the email and I'll resend, otherwise, I'll wait to hear from you (or your friends).

Any suggestions or links would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well, tristan this can be very easy. Fireflygal sells lanyards and pins and apparently has a few surprises in store for us this year. She tends to spend a bit of time around the Firefly/Serenity fan table which should be set up by the vendors area entrance. and word spreads of what she has and people look for her. She may have some better advice on how things work. Also, the fan table tends to have some products available as they also do raffles, or have in the past. They may be able to pawn your wares there, just check back with them every so often. My understanding is the tables there are very expensive, and likely unavailable at this point for dealer's room. Best to go word of mouth by the fan table. fans from all the boards will go there. you might be able to leave a sample, and your # for interested parties to contact you, if you have a cell at the con. but best to check with folks at the fan table to be sure.

42 days until Thursday!

Hi Tristan,

I'm running the fan table this year. We would be happy to help you out if you need it. We couldn't sell your wares from the table directly, D*C has lots of rules on what we can and can't do, but we would be happy to point people to you. That's what we did for Fireflygal last year and it seemed to work fairly well

WickedWren, thank you very much! Do you also take stuff for raffles and giveaways? I'll be making several sets of buckles like those that are on Mal's coat, and will probably have a set or two "extra"...kind of a 'thank you' for the table's help? Would that be appropriate?

Ahem, yes, worked well IS an understatement! I ran out of items on Saturday. But discretion is the word. You can't sell stuff unless you pay major coin for a table, so we can't be too blatant about it. Although I did sell some items to a couple of dealers who were Browncoats.

Understood, I'm not looking to cheat anyone either but the powers that be don't see it that way. We just need to stay under the radar, somewhat. The folks at the fan table are great for sending Broncoats your way (thanks guys).

Thank you for the advice! Business cards are a great idea...never thought of that.

I also want to make sure the folks at the table understand the appreciation via donations, etc. For without them, there wouldn't be much chance to sell stuff, eh?

Tristan,
You make these buckles? and they are authentic looking to the Mal coat?
Well, I met a woman at the ren faire, got most of my pirate gear from her. Seems she's a Browncoat too, and was Making browncoats. good ones. but didn't have the buckles quite right. She was planning to have a table at D*C, you might think on meeting with her. maybe work out a partnership. Though I don't currently have her info in front of me. Cedric (Bedlam Bards) pointed me in her direction, he may be able to help you find her.

JadeHand, not sure I would lump them up there with "Official Replica"-type, but I think they are fairly accurate. The first ones I made for my jacket have a dark-metal latch, but I am working on some now with a brass-colored latch that would probably be closer to the original.
I don't want to take up room in here, but I'll PM you the link to my photobucket, and you can take a look and let me know what you think.
Thanks for the advice!
