Bump.

BTW, even though I have a prior gig and can't make it to the Texas Shindig

, I'm going to try to have some minidiscs of "The Ballad of Joss" available there. My band will be giving them to generous Browncoats who contribute to our Dragon*Con travel fund.

Hey, I'll throw a couple of "Ballad of Joss" CDs in for the raffle. I won't be there, but my blushing bride will be.

*Cedric kicks his own ass in frustration for missing it*

Cedric's "blushing bride" here. okay I haven't blushed in quite a while.. I hope to make it to the Spiderhouse stuff on friday and then catch up with ya'll on Saturday at the China Star.
Looking forward to it as my husband leaves me alone and forlorn in Texas while he scampers to washington for a month.
I have much Firefly trivia stowed away and I'm storehouse of all kinds of knowledge....
and I will have a supply of "ballad of Joss" cd's!

Do we have to RSVP to go to the spiderhouse screening or Dave & Busters?

I'm in Austin already and if I'm bored I might stop by for those parts of the giant shindig.
