crap, crap, crap, crap....why oh why do my fandoms have to have competing activities......

I wanted to walk with you guys again, techiecl, BUT, I was recently contacted by the Trek Trak guys, and they want me riding the "Klingonmobile" in the parade as a former Miss Klingon....I really like that car, and am loving the whole kitchy thing they're doing with the pageant this year (we may be on TV), so I guess I'm gonna ride in ridge instead of Browncoat.

Although I AM going to have "Browncoat" buttons prominently attached to my costume, and if we are ahead of you guys in the line up, I plan on having my browncoat and hat with me and trying to rip off the ridge, throw on the hat and coat and run back and join up with ya all!

Hey SHK, I'm looking forward to seeing that transition from Klin to BC in 3.5 seconds. DO you need a phone booth for that or do you just spin around in place?

I aim to misbehave!

It's more the Wonder Woman change....bracelets of power, and a quick spin...possibly a fast duck behind a large Klingon and a bat'leth fan dance as distraction....

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

I will definitely be there in Jayne costume Techie. The wife is trying to come up w/ a Companion outfit for the parade and Con. So count us in.

Techie,

My Jayne costume is coming along pretty nicely. Got an airsoft R36 to match Jayne' modified MP5 from the BDM to hang on the bandolier. Got a friend scratch building the BFG that he carried. Got some ammo & grenade pouches & am mocking up some grenades. Should be pretty shiny when I'm done.

Where does the count stand now for the parade?

With SHINYGODDESS's crew from Baton Rouge, we have 21 marchers.

+ Callmeserenity we will be 22. Callme, please email me at TechieCL at GMAIL dot com to confirm.

Browncoat 1, that's kick ass. Can't wait to see your modded gun and the jayne BFG. Add 1 to the count of Jayne's for yourself. Since at the time you said you might do Mal I didn't put you on the costume count.

More than a month left to Dragon-Con and Browncoats seem to be coming out of the wood work. We now have 26 confirmed marchers. Here's the latest count of confirmed costumes:

Blue Hand 2
Browncoat 2
Companion 1
Inara 2
Jayne 2
Kaylee 3
Mal 2
River 2
Simon 1
Wash 2
YoSafBridge 1
Zoe 1

Due to overwhelming response and the fact it won't clash with the SEBC Fan table's booth, Banner #2 is the one I will shop to various sign shops for printing.

BAYBREEZE1

As this is my first Con and first parade, I've got a question about the banners (which look great by the way). Will there also be a sign or signs which specifically say FIREFLY or SERENITY?

NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | TOP | HOME

Tuesday, August 2, 2005 2:37 PM

No.

We're hoping to get our hands on a Browncoat flag, but we have no signs that say Joss Whedon's Serenity or Firefly.

The parade banner is going to go to dual use for the SEBC's display booth as well. Any publicity for the group would drive traffic to the fan table which is a better vehicle to convert people.

Oh, got it, thanks. If we can get our hands on or create a cool Firefly/Serenity banner can we bring it also or would it be best to just use the one you've got set?

By the way, as long as it doesn't conflict with a panel or anything, my daughter and I plan on being in the parade. Kinda hard to know right now since there's no definite times for panels. Anyway, I'll be in a Zoe outfit and she'll be a cute Kaylee.

Boy, am I looking forward to this!

Last year their was no conflict with any of the Firefly panels. We had almost an hour between the end of the parade and the Saturday one.

If you are making your own banner, don't have it bigger than the SEBC one we will be sporting (3 feet tall x 8 or 9 feet long) and please don't use the SEBC logo. The SEBC banner will be leading the group.

Baybreeze, have you confirmed yourself and your daughter via email? If not please do so ASAP.

[x-posted to various locations]

Well folks, we're less than a month to Dragon-Con. I hope every is working on their costume and/or has it done already. (I'm in the former category).

* There was a slight miscommunication with the parade staff due to a hard-drive crash on their end. That issue has been resolved, and the Browncoats are confirmed as registered.

* Due to overwhelming preference, we will be going with banner design #2. The banner will be 2 feet tall and 8 feet long in order to keep the ratio of that graphic.

* Times and palces. The group will gather between 8:45am and 8:55am by the HYATT Bar Saturday morning. We will travel as a group to the muster point: Woodruff Park (Peachtree and Auburn - about 4 blocks south of the Hyatt) between 9-9:30 AM
on Saturday morning, 9/2. If you can't make the intial meet-up point, be sure to hurry up to Woodruff park before the parade starts.

* The best news so far is we beat my original goal of 30 confirmed marchers. We are at 32 at the moment. The costume break down is as follows:

Blue Hand 2
Browncoat 2
Companion 1
Inara 2
Jayne 2
Kaylee 3
Mal 2
River 2
Simon 2
Wash 2
YoSafBridge 1
Zoe 3
10 unconfirmed costumes.

Let's shoot for 50 now. Let's show Dragon-Con that the Browncoats are out in force for the Big Damn Movie!
