Me too! Second weekend in October.

Where is Dragoncon? I should know this, 'cause I think Lois McMaster Bujold was GoH a few years back, and IRC it was marginally doable for me to have gone, but I didn't.

Mmmm... Shindig Burgers!

Thanks for making this thread Rhyme!! :D Great idea. In fact, I just made one like it over at the OB because I thought your idea was so inspired.

So get voting people! I really wanna hear what you all have to say.

Feel free to post suggestions on what you would like/ wouldn't like at the next shindig. :)

Vince, Dragon*Con is in Atlanta and there have been hints that there will be a whole seperate Firefly track within the Con! Woohoo! http://www.dragoncon.org/

MOH!!!! Back from the great beyond! We missed ya, Kristin. Well, I can say FOR SURE that Ryan and I will be there WHENEVER the shindig is held. Ryan will be making shirts again this year, so I guess I'll be nursing his burned fingers and covering my ears when the curses start to fly! He plans on making PA Shindig 2005 shirts as well as something Rick-inspired. I will be making another game or 2, and will be making a new and improved Jeopardy board. (Yes, I still have the bells!) Start thinkin' of your charade ideas now, kids! MOH, anything you need for help, let us know. You know we've got your back. This is almost as exciting as Serenity, which I'm sure will be the talk of the farm. Where's the nearest theater so we can go en masse? I guess we'd have to call ahead and let em know 40 or so rabid Browncoats will be descending on the theater! Ha ha ha!SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINY!!!

I just voted for the October 8th weekend, too. Although, I do seem to remember it getting pretty darn chilly at around 2am or so... Oh, well. I guess we'll just have to have another roaring fire - and more smores! Is it bad that I am almost as excited about the shindig as I am about the movie premier?

We've done the impossible and that makes us mighty. Mal - Serenity

That's a common side effect of attending the first PA Shindig. Attending the second PA Shindig should temporairly clear up any lingering side effects. ;p .....of course, then you'll wanna come to the third.

Smores! Yummmmmmm
We'll just need to get more blankets, have a bigger better bon fire(possibly in a metal barrel), and I'll try to be smarter this time and actually have the hot cocoa, tea, and coffee down at the barn area while we watch episodes.

I didn't really get cold until about 3 am when I fell asleep during Out of Gas and my blanket slipped off of me, THEN I was cold. :P
Actually I would love to have it in September for the weather, but Dragon*Con and the premier already have dibs on that month pretty much. :(

Hehe. Just kidding. I got busy with stuff around the farm. The horses are a lot more work to take care of in the winter because of water buckets freezing, blankets needing to go on and off, and a million other stuffs.

Hehe, well tell Ryan to be careful with that iron or to take up a safer process like silk screen. To the best of my knowledge those silk screens can't burn you. ;)

More games and bells! Yay! I am going to start making super duper trivia questions now since I started to run out last time. And more charades is a MUST! :D

Since this here thread is on the front page today, I thought I'd bring this up...

Maaaaybe we can get some enterprising Browncoats to create prizes for whomever wins all the great Jeopardy-like games.

The reason I say this is because we can make more money auctioning off DVD sets rather than giving them out as prizes, and it will help prevent people from picking up sets they don't care about. Which will also prevent any of these sets finding their way into non-Browncoaty hands, which would be bad.

I've already filled up my desk with sets, and I'm anticipating even more before October.

Are any of you up for bringing PA Shindig ideas/ games to Atlantic City in May (cuz, then we'd have something constructive to work on during our brief spells of sobriety?)

Hope that could happen.
Meanwhile...

Haya Rhyme! We're done watching ALL of the Buffy episodes! Aren't you proud of us?

As Buffy graduates, Sami and I will be able to join impromptu performances of "Once More With Feeling," have even MORE to talk about, and gosh! we might do a little better on the Joss Trivia Questions :-) So do your worst, Courtney Jeopardy Bitch, darling. We are going to kick butt next Shindig.

Hey all just wanted to let you know that I have this years t-shirts designed and ready to head into production. I will sadly have to charge this time for shirts. However, anything I make over cost of supplies will go to MOH to help with expenses. If anyone wants a shirt let me know and email me at Ripper5X5@hotmail.com. I will be making special limited edition "What Would Rick Do" shirts which will be a little pricier. Anway price go as follows:

2nd annual Pa Shindig shirts - $10 sizes (M,L,XL)
WWRD shirts - $15 (M,L,XL)

I will take orders until August 1st than I will need to start slave over a hot iron and printer.

Oh no! Oct 8/9 is the weekend of The Witching Hour, the 2005 Harry Potter convention. I wish there were another weekend to choose from after the premiere! Unfortunate timing, that.

(plus, having the Shindig so soon after the movie hardly gives the fans a chance to develop their latest thories, and we costumers are going to have to go to hard burn to have anything done in time!)

I'd steal the beloved plush toy of a small child to be able to go, but if it's the same weekend as The Witching Hour, I'm afraid my primary loyalties lie elsewhere. Though it will be quite sad! Who will be there to be psychic about Charades, be disturbing around livestock, and injure herself falling off fences?

October is best, merely due to the timing of the BDM. We want to have the shindig *after* we've all seen it, and can talk about it. Also, it will still be in theaters, so there is the possibility of going as a group.

Priscellie, maybe you could come for part of the event? Who else can fall of fences like you can? The 'dig just wouldn't be the same...
