I was thinking,, won't the spirit of the thing be diminished by what BE has done? I mean they have really taken a lot of the joy out of the event.. and if they have to scale back to make it happen (say, no banquet, or far fewer guests) that was not what we paid for.. how will that all work?

sorry.. just musing and grumbling.. sigh

Despite everything I am gonna show up and have a good time with or without BE. The Cali Browncoats are working their damnest is see to it that those of us who show up anyway have things to do. I think if things fall through with BE, the Browncoat Backup Bash (as they are calling it) will be a huge success and I hope good times are had by all.

No way I'd give BE the "satisfaction" of NOT having fun. Even if there's no BDH's there'll still be Browncoats from ALL over to meet and have fun with and I intend to do that to the best of my ability.

I aim to misbehave!

Speaking of which ... in case you haven't seen this elsewhere:

Just wanted to give you an update on our plans to create an alternate fan experience in the event Flanvention II falls through.

First, we now have a name for this shindig. We're calling it the Browncoats' Backup Bash. We thought that kind of covered all the bases :) We've even set up a new e-mail address. If you have questions, you can e-mail us at backupbash@sfbrowncoats.com.

Second, plans are proceeding on making this as exciting an event as possible on such short notice. We're working out a schedule of potential events and activities as we speak. We are in touch with the hotel to try to work out meeting space, and as has been mentioned previously, they will honor the previously negotiated group rate for anyone who has a reservation. We've also talked with a bunch of the vendors who were planning to be there, and most have said they're interested in still attending even if Flan falls through.

Finally, we are working on contacting the actors to see if they'll be willing to attend as well. I can't stress this enough: we can't make any guarantees, especially at this late date, but you have our word that we will try our hardest to make it happen.

On the topic of contacting the Big Damn Heroes, I have a request. We have very good contact info for all the actors and other celebs, so please let us make these calls. The last thing any of us want is for the actors or Joss to get a ton of phone calls and e-mails and get so frustrated they just decide to back out.

Our main hope is that Booster comes through and Flan goes off without a hitch, making these preparations unnecessary. But if it does fall through, we hope everyone who had a ticket to Flan will consider still coming and enjoying the Browncoats' Backup Bash!

Good luck all! My heart goes out to you all. If I was tempted by FlanII, I doubly tempted by Browncoat Backup Bash. I think they're right to check for FII tickets: they're making it sound like fun.

Honestly.. the Browncoat Backup Bash sounds more fun at this point then does the other..

I tip my hat to the hardworking CA Browncoats for their dedication and heart.

THANKS!

I certainly agree that BE is done, regardless of the outcome for Flan2. Nobody in thier right mind would trust them with their cashy money after this.

The CA Browncoat community is doing... fine works! The more I hear about the BBB, the more I'm leaning toward coming out for the weekend, "come hell or high water".

And now we can count on the Bards, too. Amazing. Something tells me this is going to turn out to be a Browncoat legend.
