What about us unlucky enough to live in tampa, but without tickets, are we welcome?

I know I'd like to meet a few Browncoats, an if ImEarly aint busy with this or that, I would think he would like to come.

I've been a busy girl converting all my friends, and about 10 of us will be there for the show! My husband and I are getting off work at noon that day, so we'll be there a little earlier - don't know about the GI though - but hope to meet all of you online fans that I've been seeing for the past few years! See you a week from Thursday!!!!!

I genuinely would love to come, but I don't see the logic if I'm one of, well I guess two, who plan to watch everybody whisk off to the movie.

Now then, my hunt for tickets hasn't been called off, but then there are many Browncoats who deserve to be at the screening, so I won't feel so bad if I have to wait until September.

I'll be at the Green I guana with bells on, or something. Don't spend much time on the OB but I will try to pop over there and spread the word.

Sir,

you have lost your mind. Can you think of another person in the Tampa Bay area who has put forth the effort you showed in Serenity, and Call Me? I think not! They are still the very best Firefly Fan Videos made.

You....be...there.

I think they're all still doing the Browncoat Happy Dance for actually having gotten tickets. May take a few days for them to get back on the boards.

Hey there...went by the veterans 24 last night after work...around 5pm, and wanted to let you know the whole front is in shade at that time of day! So we might not perish due to this unimaginable heat while waiting in line to see the movie next week!

Also, is everyone coming in costumes? I need to know!!!! Will let you all know if I have any of my group that cannot make it and have spare tickets....
looking forward to meeting you-all in person! I've been reading your posts for over a year now, and can't wait to put a face with the names!

p.s. We think the steakhouse is a better place to meet up, for Browncoats, than the GI.....what do you think?

That could actually be a really good idea... (the steakhouse, that is...)

Meoriar and I won't be costumed, 'cause we're coming straight from work.

--> I'm planning on costuming, at least to start...bringing a change of clothes in case I get heat stroke.

p.s. We think the steakhouse is a better place to meet up, for Browncoats, than the GI.....what do you think?

--> Why the steakhouse? I'm flexible, but can't afford to eat at somewhere expensive, which a lot of steakhouses can be (I've never been to that particular one). I know GI can get crowded, but it's cheap and a place we wouldn't likely freak them out by coming in costume with a crowd. Also with GI, it would be a bit more flexible, with unexpected people dropping in for a just a drink, rather than trying to pick a number for reserved tables at a more formal kind of place.

I've never been there, even though I work just a little ways away...I'll go with popular opinion, if someone's been to the steakhouse before and thinks it's ok. If it's more along the lines of Longhorn, then I'm not for it...too expensive, hard to get a table for that many. If they've got a private room or something, then maybe, but I'm still voting for cheap food and a more casual place, even if it is busy.

Thoughts? I was planning on going over after work on Monday to warn them...

Why a steakhouse? Because it fits in with the western theme better than the mexican food....our BDH did have cows for cargo didn't they? :)
Also, I can't do mexican food - too spicy for me - and the steakhouse is called "Logans Roadhouse" and here's the latest review of it:

"Great place to dine
Posted by ansh2413 on 07/08/2004

This resturant has a wonderful, exciting, family oriented atmosphere. The food is wonderful and the pricing is even better. The entire staff, including managment, seems to love their jobs and are always willing to help. My family and I eat here at least once a week. We appreciate their hospitality!!

Pros: Inexpensive, Wonderful Service, Great food
Overall user rating: Highly Recommended "

It says it's inexpensive, and I've heard it is too. If we don't get take-out food and eat in line, this is probably where we'll go. I'm going to see our group this weekend, and next week I'll let you all know what the 10 of us are doing!

As for costumes, I have kindof one....I have sort of a Zoie costume....although for the premiere I'm making a companion costume....I look more like a Nandi than a Zoie (but I love Zoie). We're in the SCA too so I have lots of costuming skills - just not too thrilled to dress up in this heat.........

TGIF everybody!!!

Ok, well then, If it's cheap, that's good. If it gets good reviews also, even better.

And you're right, Browncoats would look more in place in a steakhouse....

Okay, if there's no objections, Monday I will warn them and see if we can get something semi-private for us.

Let us know how you liked it, and tell me by Monday if you think they'd be up for a semi-rowdy crowd on Thursday!

Thanks!

Also, I have a plaintative request....I am going to get the banner done for us all to sign for Joss' birthday...if we want something more than paper, it won't be cheap. I can get heavy photo paper output where I work for about $64 for a 3' x 5' banner, or it's about $100 at kinkos for vinyl.

As a poor student and part time teacher, I'm a little broke right now until the next financial aid check comes in...anyone willing to help out the Joss Birthday Celebration fund? Just let me know so I know whether to go down to plain paper or upgrade to the photo paper or vinyl.

Since Mutant Enemy is no longer, do we have a place to send it with a good degree of certainty that Joss will receive it?

That, I do not know. I still have the contact info I got at D*C from Erin Gray's rep (who was also handling Adam, or at least Adam's stuff), who gave me info on where to send things for the crew, but since I've never heard that they did or did not receive the packages, I don't know that it's valid either.

Someone on the UB is trying to find out, since that's where this whole idea came from. Worst case scenario, we drag 'em all to D*C to display...if we can't get an addres, maybe a kindly Universal rep will take them in at the theatre...gotta hope!

Good idea but circumstances (coming across state) don't allow for the early shindigging plan.

I plan on wearing my brown cordoroy jacket with the FL Browncoat Flag emblem on the sleeve. I don't know if that really counts as a "costume" or not...

See y'all in line - Karen :-0

I only drove by it - had a wedding to be in this weekend. It looks good to me; casual not pricey.
But still waiting to hear from my peeps as to what we're all doing.

I just called the steakhouse and asked them to fax me their menu....I'll let you know what it looks like asap.

I do know we'd want to buy some browncoat patches if anyone brought them to the prescreening to sell though.

Other than that, I'll have to let you know - procrastination is their best asset!

Do you have a picture of the patch? How big is it? Is there any way to get one before Thursday if I live in Tampa???????
