FLATLINE

My best friend and I are going this year. It's one of those once in a lifetime, dream come true type things. I was so excited that I almost bounced off my chair when I found out that Adam Baldwin and Ron Glass were both going to be there. Then Adam had to cancel and I whined and moped a little, but am still going to go! Can't wait to take pictures of all the costumes and act like a little kid for four days!!!

Choices are easy to make, even the most difficult of choices is made in the span of a heartbeat. It is coming to terms with the results of these choices which can take a very long time, indeed.

Flying on duct tape and a damaged registry.

Have fun meeting your fellow Browncoats at D*C! There will be a few of us there. Well, maybe a couple. Thousand.

And don't forget to cheer for the 76th Battalion and the SEBC during the Dragon*Con Parade on Saturday morning!

I will be there with Livlass and my sister. We're driving down with a few other Browncoats from PA. It's my first D*C also and I'm very excited. :)

Because of the Marriott and their slow ass renovations, there will apparently be no through traffic on the fan table level. Now how the hotel expects to accommodate the Walk of Fame, gaming, author signings, and fan tables on a level with no through traffic is beyond me, but
there it is. Because of this little fustercluck, the fan table coordinators have been forced to only allow table claiming Friday morning. Which brings us to the trivia contest...

Thursday night at 8PM. We will hold our trivia contest on the fan table level of the Marriott. So we won't have a specific table, we'll just congregate around any furniture that the hotel hasn't removed to storage. So there will be a contest, it will be in the same approximate location, there will be prizes! And we can grouse about how screwed up the hotels are making life this year

4 days!

Could you please just make it stranger? Stranger. Odder. Could be weirder. More bizarre. How about uncanny?

Hey, I am going to be there again this year!

Also, I have a Browncoat costume this year.
So even though the Cincinnati 10th will have a decent number of folk, I am the only one who will be in "uniform", so is it possible I could help swell the ranks of the 76th and help Browncoats represent?

BWAH!

Actually, I doubt it, unless your uniform is strictly up to the regulations and requirements of the 76th's uniforms, but you will be able to march with the SEBC, whom the 76th will be right behind.

I'm not sure I shouldn't be offended by that.

Regulations and Requirements...sounds rather...Alliance-like.

So yeah, I'll be happy to march with the SEBC folk, as I know a few of them anyway.

BWAH!

It's not my place to tell you whether to be offended or not. We had a pretty specific picture of what we wanted for our initial march (an independent unit just starting up, before they see any action) so the uniforms are more, well, uniform.

Either way, it'll be good to see another person in costume in the parade, and I look forward to meeting you (you made the BWAH! game, right?).

If you want to post or send a photo, I could see if it is in line with what we have put together. If not, no worries.

Well, I suspected that was the case, and that really was all you had to say. Instead it came off like "Sorry, you're not worthy."

If I had thought you INTENDED to offend me, I would have flat out said I was offended.

My apologies if I sounded bitchy about it.

I would, in fact, be the one.

I am always up for meeting new (and old) Browncoats! Hope to see you there!

Given your description of the presentation, I doubt I would. My approach was more a "Serenity Valley" or "Battle of Du-Khang" look with a few of my own personal touches.

So yeah, no worries.

BWAH!

So sorry, I didn't mean to come off as saying "You aren't worthy", because the last thing we want is to be elitist about it.

Lookin' forward to seein' what you've put together!

re-post

We will be continuing our support of Ron's favorite charity, the Al Wooten Center http://www.wootencenter.org/ They provide education, community, and after school programs for at risk youth.

In continuing with the idea to help at risk youth, we've decided on supporting the Atlanta Children's Shelter this year, as well. http://www.atlantachildrensshelter.com They run a support shelter for homeless children in Atlanta. Their services include day care, health care, and education. We will be giving monetary donations, of course, but they also have a wish list of items http://www.atlantachildrensshelter.com/wish_list2007.html If you are interested in providing anything from the list, we will be accepting donations at the fan table. I will deliver all the items on my way home from the convention Tuesday.

And because we really wanted to spread the love this year, we decided to do a follow up to our donations for the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. The New Orleans Public Library system was basically destroyed by Katrina. They are in the process of rebuilding structures and their collections and need serious help. So to that end, all the proceeds from the SEBC Yearbook will be going to The New Orleans Public Library rebuilding fund http://nutrias.org/ We will also take donations of Firefly, Serenity, the novel, and/or the Those Left Behind TPB. You can drop them at the fan table and we'll ship them out after the convention.

So that's the skinny on what we're working towards this year. I'm off to cross-post like a mad woman. Thanks for all your help and support!

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

Sounds shiny TenthCrewMember. Looking forward to seeing it at the parade and to meeting you.
