Hey guys!

We're still working diligently on getting ready for the Firefly fan table at DragonCon and hosting a Shindig at said convention. We have the volunteers but we are seriously lacking in the fundage department! We are paying for this out of our own pockets and are doing what we can to get the moolah together for it! Please visit our website www.southeasternbrowncoats.org and our cafepress store and give us a hand! We appreciate you all and we want to give Firefly the showing it deserves at DragonCon.

Thanks!!!!!
Jen

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I hope that all those Browncoats that can do so, especially those attending Dragon Con, will stop by the website & store & contribute. Any amount helps and it will help us promote Firefly/Serenity at the Con just weeks before the BDM hits theatres.

Thanks! Keep flyin'!

DragonCon is a super place to publicize. In addition to the party, have you thought of trying to get them to run Firefly episodes in the video room?

Still working with my Browncoat friends to try to arrive early on Thursday, if there's a need for manpower. I will be making a small donation this weekend to the cause.

I think the fan table is a great idea and I will be glad to help. I will be staying at the hyatt on the 2nd floor. I will go to the web site so I see what sort of shindigs are going on.

Hi Jcoz
Do you have a snail mail address for a check to be sent, so you can avoid PayPal taking their little share? If you prefer PayPal I can do that but I'd like every last penny to go where it belongs, to the Browncoats!

I know last year we had Tribe episodes playing at the Tribe fan table, so make if someone could hook up a tv you could show the episodes there. It was great because people were stopping by and watching so we could explain more of the show to them by pointing to the screen.

Keep shiny!

We did do that last year as well. Planning on having a TV with episodes and the trailer, and a computer with some trivia and other fun/educational stuff for people.

I'm a new Dragon*Con goer and making the rounds of the message boards trying to get browncoats organized. Huzzah for SEB, but a lot of us don't have any contacts going into this monster. If you'd like to email a cell phone number (and any other contact info) with me, i'll email a list back to everyone who contacts me (about a week before D*C) so we can find each other once there. mlinse@juno.com

and as for songs, i just heard an awesome "mal's song" over at prospero. you need bittorrent.

Welcome to DragonCon craziness, Mima! Last year what the Browncoats did was wear a brown armband that says Browncoat or some similar identifyable item. May I humbly suggest the Browncoat pins and lanyards I have for sale as an identifying item

no one noticed how I casually slipped that in, did they? The photos of the items are in the are in the Blue Sun folder, I probably posted them a couple of months ago. I can repost them if anyone wants. I will also be selling them at DragonCon, somehow.

Also what we try to do is set a day and time for Browncoats to meet at the fan table so we can meet.

As long as my name got mentioned, I thought I'd pipe in.

The Bedlam Bards would really love to be at Dragon*Con and the SE Browncoats Shindig--but as all of you understand, funding can be an issue. I've encouraged Stan (standp) to put his compilation out there as a fundraiser for the SE Browncoats, but my band may be doing a little private fundraising ourselves. So--if anyone has any inside contacts with Dragon*Con, any strings to be pulled, please help us get a table there, despite the late date. We'll have recordings of "The Ballad of Joss" available soon, on CD and MP3.

FireflyGal-I've never been to any sort of Con, Dragon or otherwise. Not quite sure what I'm getting myself into. But excited none-the-less. I will be donating soon, but as I just shelled out mucho dinero this weekend for my membership and other sundry necessities (new shoes, the latest Harry Potter, etc.) I'm gonna have to wait a few weeks. Was also pondering a SEB shirt or something from the cafepress store. I only have 1 Serenity shirt and I'll be at the Con for at least 3 days, so I'm going to need to expand my wardrobe, methinks.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

You are in for an experience and then some CallmeSerenity. Dragon Con has between 30,000 & 40,000 fans in attendance & is a blast. Between parties, panels, exhibits, etc, you will never find another Con quite like it.

Looking forward to meeting you.

And I have a feeling that with Joss there, it may even get to be a bit bigger this year. Be prepared for mucho insanity and very long waits for the elevators.

It is possibly the most fun you can have in public while not being arrested.

And selfless plug, I have a really cool lapel pin and badge holder you might be interested in. If you send me your e-mail I will send you some pics. The pins and badges are a GREAT way to identify fellow Browncoats at Cons! Anyone else interested send me your e-mail or drop me an e-mail to FireflyGal1@hotmail.com.

but i'm going to dragon*con and wanted to donate a little money and hopefully participate in any firefly events--

am i too late?

is there anything official as far as organized events go?

is this the dragon*con thread or is there another?

are many of you costuming for D*C?

thanks cyndi

There is an awesome, detailed, variety of costuming threads at the browncoats site. right down to where to find river's boots, how to make jayne's holsters, etc.

Anyone with an ounce of talent could build some shiny browncoat styles from there... but that kind of creativity I have not.
