THE 6TH ANNUAL BROWNCOATS BACKWOODS BASH

Saturday, September 21, 2013.

11:00am until 9:00pm.

The waterfall Shelter at Lower Cascades Park, Bloomington Indiana.

"Time For Some Thrillin' Heroics!"

This year's Bash will feature Fan-made films, and our usual lineup of fun activities. We're hoping to have as many people as possible in the Costume Contest this year, and we'd like to get a group photo of as many people in Jayne hats as we possibly can. You can probably guess why! *evil grin*.

As always, the 'Bash is a FREE pitch-in picnic for fans of Firefly/Serenity and all things Joss Whedon. The swag table and silent auction items will, as always, reflect that. The proceeds will once again go to Middleway House of Bloomington, the local Women's Shelter. They love us... we've contributed over $3000 in the past 5 years, and will hopefully keep the streak going.

Please rsvp and mention on this Thread any food items you're planning to bring.
If you have a swag item to donate to the cause, please let us know, and let us know if you're bringing it or if you'd like to send us something.

If you can't attend, but know someone who would like to, please pass the word!

More details and teasers to come.

Questions??? call me! 812 272 6153

Tentative Schedule of Events...

10-11am:
Set Up. Anyone arriving early to help gets a cookie lol. If you are bringing swag for the Sale/Auction, please arrive @10:30 so you can tag your items and place them on the table. Sale table will be available all day, until "Cash in" time.

11-11:30am:
Introductions and welcome
Group Photos and videos

11:30-12:30pm:
Good Dogs... time to chow down!
We'll pick up where we left off on the video watching last year.

12:30-1:30pm:
Browncoat Sing-Along, plus the Costume Contest. Jayne Hat photo-op &video.

1:30-3:30pm:
Leisure Time... we'll start the Feature Videos, but folks are free to do what they please. There's a playground, a waterfall to hike to, and the Buddhist Monastery to visit. There's a volleyball net in the yard for those who wish to play... if we have a ball!

3:30- 5pm:
Game time! Bingo (aka "Shiny") in the main room, and the Serenity RPG either outside or in the little wellhouse next to the shelter for those who like that. Bob Turner always brings badminton for the younger crowd. If not, there's volleyball and the playground.

5pm:
Verbal Auction for unmarked items, followed by Cash-in time. We have some exciting swag this year, so bring your checkbook or lots of cash; we except either. Please make checks payable to "Middleway House", and memo "Browncoats" on your check.

6pm-??
Videos and conversation, always MY favorite part. Followed by pack-up and clean-up, my least favorite part.

-As always, schedule subject to change.

Yeah, Dawn is 28 months now. Runs and plays, learning two languages, English and Visayan (thanks to her Mom). She loves to dance ad sing. She has the melody for the Firefly theme down cold. She just needs to work on the words lol.

We have so much swag this year I am actually worried. We may have more swag than guests, which means if you come you might snag some excellent bargains. :D

Fantastic! Looking forward to seeing you. Lower Cascades is a City Park, so no admission, but you do need to have your dog on a leash (technically). The swag this year is amazing if you're on facebook, check out "6th Annual Browncoats Backwoods bash", and look for posts about the treasure... :D

I had TWO variations of my Annual nightmare last night....

First, I dreamed that only one person showed up at the Bash (I'm looking at You, James Robert Turner? ). Our $1500+ Inventory of swag made $30 for Middleway House .

Secondly, I dreamed that NO ONE showed up, and we force-Fed Dawn~Marie 100 all-beef Hot Dogs!

Please do not deprive MwH of our Contributions. PLEASE do not give my two year old daughter indigestion. Please DO say that you are coming to the Browncoats Backwoods Bash!

Thank You.

That's kinda funny, I threw a party the other day and had a nightmare about a yellow piece a paper the next night and couldn't figure out why....I found the bill for the rental spot today...On a yellow piece of paper!

I know you are doing this for a great cause and all but you ain't gotta drive yourself mushy in the brainpan doing it... I don't think anyone would blame you if you didn't want to do it anymore, TD...
It's an awesome thing ya do, though. Not sure I could. I've now thrown exactly two parties, and have decided I'M DONE WITH THAT, PERMANENTLY.
It IS awful hard to get people to do anything in this state.......

BTW, I tried to find what the swag was on FB, and I couldn't find it, but then I'm pretty sure one of their servers gets a migraine when I log on anyway :P

There is a mention of the swag in the FB page's discussion thread. We've got a few fan made tee shirts, QMx macquettes, artwork (Which includes some rare stuff from QMx artists and designers), plus books, videos and misc stuff. We're hoping to have autographed copies of Browncoats: Redemption and the rare "Ruins of Du Khang". Still awaiting confirmation on that....

Firefly Cargo Bay has contacted me, and we hope to be receiving some buttons and other sundries as "Shiny" prizes. Shiny is our version of "Bingo". :D

Some of the swag this year has me really excited. A lot of Artwork, some by designers of the original ship. QMx Macquettes, some of which are "no longer available" on their site. I'm awaiting the arrival of autographed copies of "Ruins of Du Khang" and "Browncoats: Redemption". All the proceeds from the items will go to the local Women's shelter...

Face it: You NEED to attend! :D
