Yes, here it is, the new thread. I was going to wait until Wednesday to post, the one month mark, but I couldn't resist after the today's news. Since we got about a month left, I figure we can all start plannin' the details here. Also, the lovely Vicki (Denise rocks too!) posted up a schedule on the booster events forum. Remember, it CAN change at any time.

Since I don't have a BDP (rats, sold out before I even knew about the BDF-vention), I'm thinking maybe an early matinee on Friday. With any luck, and a theater close to the hotel, I/we could be back by 3:00 or so, ready for the evening events.

But even if that's so, it all depends on the starting time of the first show. Noonish and we should be fine. But if it's 1:15 or something... well, I'd hate to miss any of the Flanvention goodness just to see a movie I can catch some other day.

Amen to that, Steve. I wish I could have explained to the nice bookstore people that I needed to get a 70% discount on my college textbooks because I wanted to save money to buy a lunch ticket with the cast (sans Gina) of Serenity. I don't think they would have bought it. Whadya you think?
I think by being in the same building with them all for 3 days is enough to keep me giddy. Even just thinking about being around them all for 3 days is enough to keep me giddy.

Steve 580, let's just say my new motto is GO BIG OR GO HOME. This is just about the craziest thing I have ever done (think I'm having a mid-life crisis or something), but sometimes you just have to say 'what the f***'. By the way, you hail from Maryland, right? I'm just north of Baltimore...
PsychicRiver, I am looking forward to coming over to your neck of the woods in about a year from now...have never been and have always dreamed of coming, so I've got a two-week dream trip planned...wouldn't it be great if it happened to coincided with next year's Serenity2(3?) con? You'll have to give me some tips when I see you at the Flan!

Jet lag shouldn't be too much of a problem. The excitement will be enough.
Also, there's a lovely thread in the booster events thread (Its actually PR's thread) that some people have suggested some things to keep jet lag away. ( http://www.boosterevents.com/Default.aspx?tabid=89&g=posts&t=721 )
Some of the suggestions were to not take a nap right when you arrive, drink water on the plane, and go to sleep at the local time.

FF - Well, that's cool; it’s been my experience that spontaneous, crazy stuff is usually a lot of fun. I spent about $2000 last summer to go to Europe last minute (as in, I bought the ticket two weeks before I left...I didn’t have a passport, and I’d never previously left the time-zone).
And yeah, I'm from Riverside, which, unless you live in Riverside, you've probably never heard of (it's just south of Aberdeen). You said just north of Baltimore...Harford County, then? Or less north than that?

I've made coast-to-coast trips in the past, and in my experience, the westbound travel is the easy part. No real issues. It's the Eastbound leg that gets me. Also, for old farts like me, it gets tougher as you get older. Look forward to that, kiddies!
I won't be getting into the hotel until late evening, local time. Wonder how many browncoats will be wandering around the hotel at that hour?
Question for you veterans: is a Booster Events con typically a costume thing? Are we gonna see a bunch of Mals and Jaynes milling around? I won't be going all out, but there is this leather duster I've been checking out...

ok seeing as this convention is on such short notice i MAY have to wait till next year. i live in arizona, and probobly the only one in my group that would come close to being able to aford a trip there. if i can get my friends to go, i would probobly have a place to stay, with a friends family. if i go by myself, its the same deal, except the drive would be long, and it would cost myself alot more in gas.
if anyone from Arizona can possibly take me (preferably by car) and share a hotel room, ill pay for my share of the gas and hotel bill. leave me a message and ill meet you around town so im not a total stranger come convention time.
curse me for picking that quote for my signature... unfortunatly for me it reigns true more often than not.

Hi Just wanted to invite you to check out our forums at Booster. - for room sharing, ride sharing, whatever.
And the convention rate at the hotel ($99/ night or $139/night for a suite) ends on the 18th. We filled our block ages ago, so they won't extend it. Just letting you know- I think the regular rates creep up towards the $200's.
Looking forward to meeting everyone in Dec!!!

A friend of mine, a fellow Browncoat who also happens to be a pilot, likes to say: "I hate flying... unless I'm holding the yoke".
Personally, I still enjoy the smaller planes, but the big jets are just so many cattle cars these days.
Thank goodness I had enough miles for first class seats this time!

17 days left peeps..
With 3 new guests announced, more autographs for sale, and a concert from KANE Friday night (not included as part of the con though), this convention is getting closer and closer.
Forget about smelling turkey soon, I smell Flanvention.

Fillionflan, you have to promise some of us one thing...you have to get up and come out into the hall where a herd of non-banquet people will be wondering who the mystery guest is, and tell us.

If I were going I'd take a Jayne hat and my camera and try to line up *more* fans in Jayne hats than the most populated photo in the stuff from Serenity Squared.
Anybody in the mood to do that?

Well, have to admit Nathan's table was my first choice (gee...my screen name wouldn't tell you that or anything...), but since his table filled up like in 30 seconds, Jewel was a definite second choice...she seems like a lot of fun!
Don't worry, I will sneak out a message on the mystery guest...I am dying to know who it is, too!!!!

what mystery guest?
NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
There is said that there is going to be another guest attending, but only for the Banquet on Saturday night, since that was the only event the guest could attend around their schedule.
All we know of this person is from clues given in the BE forum.
1. This person is involved in "the 'verse"
2. This person is either male or female.
3. "The 'Verse" can be considered of the entire Whedonverse.
4. It is not Joss or Gina (Or it could be and Vicki and Denise just ain't telling)

Carrie, I'll be at Summer's and Jason Carter's table. SQUEE.
I'll also have my crappy digital camera to take all sorts of pictures, and I usually dont write much down, but I have a photographic memory, so I'll do my best! My fingers can already feel the cramps for knowing I'll have LOADS to type. I'm descriptive!!
Also.. I get into LA, Thursday at the crack of why am I awake. (Earlier than all of you.) You'll prolly see me around 12 noon..Mom has some errands to run before we get to the hotel.

Gosh darn it, Piff...who do you think it is? No, don't tell me, I guess I'd rather be surprised...
I hope my memory is as photographic as yours...I take terrible pics and am counting on RavenU's Photo CD to help me relive the glory...

Ah yes, I too pre-ordered RavenU's picture CD. For that price, and the quality of the previous pics from the Angel Booster Bash, its well worth the extra cash.
Piff, you gotta share with me who you think it is. I have my theories, and I'd love to share thoughts and guesses.
I've been watching my Firefly DVD's today and I keep wanting to chant in a sing song voice that in a week, the people I see onscreen will be posing with me in photo ops. Its so very exciting.

Man, the excitement in this thread is infectious. It makes me kick myself once more that we can't go. Denise at Booster Events had invited the Bedlam Bards to come play music from our upcoming Firefly/Serenity-inspired album, but we were already booked elsewhere, gorramit! Grrrr.
I can't wait to read the stories . . .

Ahh! How many more days now? The excitment is in the air and plannings are in process.
I can't wait to see Sean Maher in the flesh. Oh yes, I had to say his first and last. He's worth it, and so much more.
As mentioned before on the booster forum, come and say hi to me, PsychicRiver, and Piffle. We'll be the puddle in front of Sean.
