Tried to see you on Twitter, but the @WheodnitesUnite didn't work. Also, the button/links on the website don't seem to be working right. (At least not in Firefox.)

Hunh! I use Firefox too, and I seem to be having the same problem. I will report it to our webmaster, thank you. Hopefully it's just temporary.

Nor sure what to tell you about twitter. Here's a link

We don't have a whole lot of follwers yet, so there's not a whole lot of activity with our Twitter account.

Can you buy passes at the event?

May or may not matter for us, as the rear end went out on my grocery-getter, and the brakes went out on our old garbage scow of a truck, all in the last two days = $2000!!! aye yi yi!

The cost for the event does include summer camp group cabin lodging and all the meals for the weekend. Also, the place LOOKS like a border planet.
By the way..in addition to Serenity...other films we have lined up are
Done the Impossible
Dr Horrible
Horrible Turn (Fanfilm:The Musical)
The Guild (All three seasons)
MegaBot (an off color send up of power team giant robot shows..only Whedon connection is that it stars Fran Kranz:Topher from Dollhouse)
plus a few more little vignettes...
all that in addition to panels,a shindig, and the option to participate in the Serenity Valley Paintball Re-enactment.

By the way..for those of you not big with the map..Scottsville is about an hour from Nashville..and about equally distant on a straight line between Owensboro and Knoxville on a map..less than an 30 minutes from Bowling Green, couple of hours from Knoxville. Although its a Nashville "based" event...its pretty centraly located for Kentucky and Tennessee as a whole...

Thanks, doubly so... At this point I'd just be happy to get my car back, they were sent the wrong part twice (or they just don't wanna do it yet) !

Far as I know, pre-registration is still going on for the next week or two, if anyone in the area thinks they'd like to attend. :)

(I hope the car troubles get sorted out soon if they haven't already!)

Yay, finally got car back Monday, and they took off 10% for being soooooo long with it... The repair guy said "Hey, $1150 is better than the 12-somethin' it was, isn't it? That's gotta make you feel better.." I said "So would YOU feel good about losin' $1100?" HE said "There's no WAY I could even think about $500 right now, let alone $1100" and I said "Well, there ya go..."

Gonna try to make it there, but we'll see...

Bumping this thread for anyone in the middle Tennessee or Kentucky area since pre-registration at www.whedonitesunited.com ends today at midnight! (Pacific Time). I remember people from Ohio, Alabama, and NC coming last year too, since the weekend worked out well for traveling.

From what I've read in the group's postings elsewhere, attendees are welcome to register at the door, though registration fees go up, and it may cause food to be in slightly shorter supply. Still beats eatin' protein... :)

Now to finalize my decision about a costume for the costume contest...! I *think* anything Whedon-related goes since the weekend includes all the shows, not just Firefly costumes (though those were by far the most popular types last year).

What are your costume-y options?

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

Saturday, July 31, 2010 6:41 PM

My costume-y choices have been narrowed down to Zoe Washburne or Adelle DeWitt. The latter is complete aside from selecting some jewelry to accompany the ensemble; the former involves attempting to sew leather-like vinyl with a cheap-end sewing machine in a quickly-disappearing span of time, but besides the vest it's complete too.

...It's just more fun to dress like Firefly people IMO, but I can do a better Adelle impression than Zoe, so... =\ I *fail* at Zoe impressions! (CellarDoor tries to forget WhedonFest 2009's improv activity that she flubbed and fails miserably. Hehe, that's a story.).

Gee, when I break it down like that... Well, we'll see.

I have a couple of things that could make a workable Inara, and one thing that I could use as a Yo-Saf, but am afraid to try it on as I have not in four years...Also own a brown jumpsuit but don't think I could pull it off well.

Hubby has been a blue hand man in the past but don't think a suit would work in 100 degree heat. We have a Jayne hat and could style him OK, but not perfect. Hubby looks kinda like Tom Berringer (shaved though) so ??? can't think of anyone he could even remotely pull off. Purple Belly #4? -Boring! I'm at a loss for large male costumes that don't require lotsa layers...

Am formally requesting input for male costume ideas!!!

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 5:04 AM

That begs the question: are the ideas limited to Firefly or the whole WhedonVerse for you (or rather, your husband)? ...There's always a Dollhouse doll-state yoga outfit to fall back on... =\ Not so great for a Shindig though!

He's not so enamoured of Buffy, though we have seen most of Angel. Thought about doing Lorne, but massive sweat+green makeup= ick!
Might be helpful for the paintball tourney, at least half the camo would be done!

Never got into Dollhouse, it just wasn't fun enough for us. We're fans of the witty banter kinda stuff...

Kinda wish I hadn't shaved him Sunday, maybe he could've gone as Monty...(if that's his name)

Could do Crow, but like I said it's gonna be hot!
don't know what to use on the face that would work??? Anyone use henna? Think the local beauty store has that.
