Sorry if this has been discussed already, but as far as I can tell this board has no search engine, and I haven't the time or patience to read all the old threads.

Just wondering if there are any Atlanta area Browncoats? I'm in Lawrenceville.

Cleveland, GA checking in here... about an hour and a half from Atlanta (some parts anyway).
My hubby and I took part in a Shindig for the DVD release... it was in the Marietta/Acworth area.

Alto, huh?

I'll be in my bunk...

Yup. My mum lives in Cleveland. Maybe we'll have to have our own little shindig in north Georgia sometime.

So, have all you Browncoats written or e-mailed or called the DragonCon folks to request the Firefly cast members as guests at this years con??? My friends and I drive up from St. Pete.

I haven't received a response either. I complained bitterly last year at the one and only Firefly panel (which was SRO, by the way) about lack of Firefly guests and they mentioned "considering" the Firefly cast as guests for this year, but without the fans requesting it, DragonCon won't do squat. They will bring in who we ask for but there has to be lots of requests. Head to www.dragoncon.org and click on contact us on the left side. Let's bombard them with e-mails, calls, snail mails and whatever it takes to get the Firefly cast on the guest list!!

Thanks ~A~, I'm glad you and Blackoutnights understand that we have to take action. Come on, the rest of you Atlanta Browncoats, get writing or calling or e-mailing! Don't you want to see the Firefly cast at DragonCon?

Anyone else taken the time to make it known to DragonCon that we want Firefly guests or are the Atlanta Browncoats too lazy....

You bet we're all in this together Blackoutnights, which is why, if I have to insight a riot and have everyone "hate" me in order to get the Atlanta Browncoats to contact DragonCon to get our Firefly cast as guests at the con, I'll do it! A few of us have contacted them, but it's going to take ALL of us, ANY Browncoat planning to attend DragonCon should contact them!

By the way, I lived in Duluth for a few years...

No need fer blushin' Miss Bernadette... If Covington is anywhere near Atlanta (??), then I'm sure you've noticed that around Labor Day every year, that Atlanta is overrun by folks in strange costumes, speaking in other languages (or just antiquated versions of English), and just generally act strange - mostly centered around the Hyatt and the Marriott Marquis near Peachtree Center. The chaos that reigns during that weekend is called Dragon*Con.

If Covington's NOT near Atlanta, then you probably haven't experienced this. It's a huge convention (normally around 20,000 folks), centered around just about any form of science fiction, fantasy, etc. Usually, there are tons of guests - TV/movie personalities, authors, artists, bands, and all manner of cool folk associated with putting our favorite 'verses(Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Buffy, The Wheel of Time, Pern, and on and on and on) together. We're working on wearing down the folks who run DC and getting them to have some Firefly guests this year (last year they had a fan-run discussion panel).

For more information (or if I just confused you), check out their website at www.dragoncon.org.

Thanks ~A~ for the learnin'. It's a shame that I've lived here for 6 yrs and never heard of this Convention. Anyway, I will do my duty as a Atlanta Browncoat and request... ahem DEMAND that they have a Firefly Panel and/or guest.

Covington is approx. 45 miles East of Atlanta.

On a different note, I have oficially converted one of my co-worker. I've been lending out 1 disc at a time [because i couldn't part with the entire set or I would go through withdrawals

& that wouldn't be Pretty]
He's watching the 3rd disc now [my favorite]. I told him about OUR movie in 2005 and he stated Yea, I'll go see it!' so 1 down 500 to go.

I'm soooooo excited about the movie, has anyone heard any news on Alan or Ron [Gotta have them]

Three cheers for Bernadette, SHINY! SHINY! SHINY! for doing her part to get our Firefly cast to DC. Looking forward to meeting with all the Browncoats. Wow, only 45 min from Atlanta and never heard of DragonCon, I'm glad we were able to let you know about it. Thanks to Astriana for the brief description.

Just an idea regarding hooking new Firefly fans, after they're hooked from watching the first disk, have them go buy the set in order to watch the rest. We need people buying those sets! Yes, I'm mean and evil when it comes to supporting Firefly.

Thanks Merat. We don't ask, we don't get. It may very well be that the cast will still be filming Serenity but if it's toward the end of the shoot (aren't most movie shoots like 10-12 weeks?) maybe some of the cast will be done with their parts and able to make DragonCon! Hope to meet you in Atlanta!

Its weird, I've lived in either Athens or Norcross for nearly 17 years, and I've YET to attend one of these. 'bout time I fixed that oversight.

Someone out there was going to find out that their worst nightmare was a maddened Librarian.

I'm in b'ham, al and am planning on attending Dragoncon. I have sent 2 or 3 emails to the con folks in the past couple of months and have not rec. any response to date.

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

Two grumps and two little whippersnappers here in Marietta. Haven't been to DC in a few years (due to aforementioned little whippersnappers) but maybe I will make it next year! This year might still be tough, but after the BDM, I am sure they will try to get some Firefly'ers. What about hitting them up for Joss, too? He would end up in many panels!
