Continued from http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=18966&m=306422#306422

As the first of these threads approaches 200 posts, I've created a second to reduce load times and attempt to summerize some of the information released in the first thread.

Dragon*Con takes place in Atlanta, Georgia US on Sept 1-4. Current Firefly/Serenity Guests include Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk. There is of course more time for others to sign up, and as always, there's the potential for some to have things come up that require them to back out. A complete list of guests from other potential Sci-Fi/Fantasy interests and details on the Convention can be found here: www.Dragoncon.org

Sept 1-4 is a Fri-Mon con. Many of us plan to file in on thursday to secure event passes and rooms and begin sharing our time and getting to know our fellow Browncoats. We aim to misbehave.

Current list of FFF members who have plans to attend, that mentioned such in the other thread:

I'm considering going- it all depends on what I'll have going on at the time. It is nice to see that so many browncoats are going. I know that if I do decide to go I will already have plenty of friends there to hang out with . So, fingers crossed, I'll see some of you there! I don't have the patience to weed through the other thread, so sorry if this has been discussed in detail, but are there any specific meeting times or locations for browncoats to get together?

There's always a Fan Table outside the Main Dealer room. It's a great place to meet others, and there may be a message board there if you're looking to meet with certain people or post potential gathering places/times. Oh, and there's always the Panels where our BDHs will speak. We'll all be there.

Sending out feelers here. I'm getting into town early Thursday to check in and secure the fan table. I will also be going to the GA Aquarium, 'cause I like big ol' aquariums. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining me.

If I book 15 or more tickets, the group rate would apply, which is about $21, plus or minus a small booking fee. (For the aquarium, not me)

Anyway, I was thinking late morning/early afternoon. Then head back to the hotels, help the new arrivals get their luggage squared away, and then food and drinks.

Thoughts?

Jadehand,

Looks like about 4 of the local Richmond, VA browncoats will be attending too, though they mostly post on the Prospero boards, not here.

Looking forward to the drinkin' & debauchery.

Hmm......

I would like to go Wickedwren, and I know the wife would love to, but we don't hit Atlanta until noon or 1pm. Then we get our luggage squared away and get our passes. We are normally not free until around 2 or 3 pm. Would that be too late for the trip?

I'm always up for hangin' w/ my browncoats and carousing.

Jade I for one say 'Don't hang around waiting for people to arrive! If your wanting to go see the fish than do so, we can all loiter for a few hours - we could all stash our stuff in the hotel left luggage and go explore the vicinity ourselves, y know, find out where all the good bars are...

But its your holiday too so don't put yourself out.

Heh. It's okay. once I get in, I'm likely to want to hang out there anyway. And I don't want anyone in our 2 rooms to show up and not have a creepy, I mean friendly face to meet them. I know the area and show everyone around for the basics. A benefit of having a vetern D*C attendant in your group. You'll have a place to store stuff a relax a bit before we run of to get our badges and meals and first round of drinkage. Ok, that's not true, I'll have likely already had a couple of rounds.

I'll take lots of pictures of the fishies, so anyone that can't make it can pretend they were there. Although we will miss you...

That's why I'm leaning to earlyish afternoon to do it, so I can be around to help schlep bags, show people where to get badges (although it looks like they might have moved that back to the Hyatt this year-yeah!), stake out our awesome fantable space. Not as awesome as the 501st's space, but I'm not going to pick an argument with 300 Stormtroopers.

Shiny!

Ran the aquarium idea by the wife last night and she is all for it.

So, let me know how you want to work the tickets/money/cooridinating things and we are in.

If you need help w/ the table or whatever, count me in.

We ain't scared of no stormtroopers. One browncoat can whip ten 'troopers.

I should be at the hotel by 2pm so that we can get everything squared away and stuff. D*C site says that the badges will be available at 4pm in the ballroom of the Hyatt this year. That is good for us because that is basically the International tower.

FYI - You will need reservations to go to the Aquarium - they are still doing timed entry to control the crowds. It's really incredible and worth the effort. If you are into art - the newly expanded High Museum is also a good place to visit while you're here.

WICKEDWREN

Tuesday, May 23, 2006 8:24 PM

Yep, I know. Thanks for makin' sure though You can never have too many people watching your back.

And I love the High. I haven't been since the expansion, but it's on the list. Luckily I live close enough to day trip down. One of these days, I'm going to have to do another culture fest. Day at the High followed by an evening at the Alliance.

That's so sweet! Thanks!

We'll need lots of help with the table again. When we get closer to the con I'll put out the official call for table volunteers.

And the 501st can have the bottom of the escalator (I'm not sure I've ever written that word before) We have so many people, we'd block it and that wouldn't be fun. How's that for enthusiam?

Just now noticed your SE Browncoat link. I've known so many people who've been disappointed when they couldn't get in to the Aquarium b/c they didn't have an advance ticket. The Alliance is great and I don't know if you've seen the play Peachtree Battle, but if you are in the mood for comedy with witty dialogue - you may like this group's work. They have shows at the Ansley Park Playhouse and Peachtree Playhouse. Peachtree Battle is supposed to end July 30th - it's been held over for a couple years now I think, but the upcoming shows sound fun. Some of the humor is Atlanta specific, but much of it is more generally Southern.

I've tried looking at the site and links, but I can't find when Firefly-related stuff is going on.

I'm really going to try to make this. It sounds like lots of fun.

Last year I packed up the car on monday morning, checked out, and went to the con. hung out there through several panels and such and was there til 4, when things wrapped up. then drove home. I'm staying til tues this year. much easier.

Schedules won't be confirmed until later. they don't have their guests yet. Arriving Thurs and picking up a schedule to plan the Con, is usually what I do.
Always last minute changes

I had heard from some friends that there were massive lines at the aquarium, if they didn't sell out. And when I recently checked the website, it says they are decreasing the amount of people they let in at a time. Which I think is actually pretty cool. If you're going to have to make reservations anyway, at least you know you're going to get to see something this way.

And I haven't checked that group out yet, but it definitely sounds like something I would like. The fact that it's been held over for that long just cracks me up. Thanks for the tip.

And to pretend like I'm on topic or something...I usually leave Monday afternoonish. I only have a 2 hour drive home though. So if you're much further away than that, you might want to consider staying Monday night. I think the con "officially" wraps up around 2 or 3 on Monday. (I might be a little off. I never stay for the big "thank you for coming" panel)

I had alrady planned to go the Aquarium, and going with other Browncoats would be even better.

I should be in town sometime Thursday morning, and plan to stay until Monday night or Tuesday (I live 1.5 hours away, so the drive is not bad at all).

I also lived in Atlanta for 6 years for school, I know a couple of good places for food and strong drink if they are needed.

This being my first Con ever, I will definitely be asking everyone a lot of questions, so if I am getting annoying, just smack me or something. Tell me about this fan table.

Also, just noticed the SoutheasternBrowncoats link, will check it out and join when I am home and capable of viewing the page.

I'll add you to the list. We're getting close to the group rate, which means we save like 3 bucks. But being broke, I'll take it...

And ask away, D*C was my first con way back when and boy was it overwhelming. I remember standing there with my mouth hanging open. Of course I was 14 at the time, so it was bit much. But yes, no questions are annoying

The fan table is basically where we have things to buy and grab for free. We have auctions for baskets and big, somewhat unique items. All the money we make from the table goes to charity, this year it's the Al Wooten Center and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.

We also try and spread the word of Firefly/Serenity to anybody walking by. We'll have flyers to spread around the hotels, or to take home with you to spread the word in your community.

People also use it as a meeting spot. It's always there and manned for about 12 hours a day, so it's a good place to catch up with people. We'll also have a board to leave messages on and to announce panels, get togethers, and anything else that strikes our fancy.

If anyone has ideas for what they'd like to see at the table this year, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I aim to misbehave, I mean please.

I'm done blathering now

My too (that is if I go- should know within the next two weeks or so). Also, if I go, I'll be on my own- none of my friends would ever consider going to a con- I'm different:) Plus, I'm really shy so I'm hoping I won't get lost and I'll be able to find someone to help me navigate and such.

No problems, Seph. Just find the BC table and loiter a bit and you'll have more friends than you know what to do with. Really, it's that easy! Plus, since we know you'll be there, we'll be expecting you and can do girly *squeeeeeee*ing when we finally catch up with each other!

I barely knew a soul when I went last year, just a few people I met briefly at a screening in Charlotte, but I had a blast and made tons of friends. D*C is fantastic.

I think I saw something above about "how will we know each other"...correct me if I'm wrong. Most of us here know each other by our screen names...I am sure someone else has thought of this before, but would those sticker name-tags with our FFF screen names on them be a good idea? Again, this may have been done before, or already discussed, I am just typing out loud...don't mind me if I am stating the obvious!

No, it's a good idea. Last year Hazufel(who is a JOY) made us all namebadges. I still have mine and will be wearing it, unless someone makes new and improved (though, can you improve upon perfection? They were really shiny name badges!) ones for this year. Trust me, you won't have any problems finding the Browncoats. Truuust me. The place was like a sea of orange hats last year.

Plus, those incredibly long lines for panels made nice opportunities to meet people.

It's not the finding of the Browncoats that would be a problem, it would have been matching faces to screen names for me.
I am just looking forward to meeting everyone I have chatted with here in person, and wanted to be sure there would have been a way to id ourselves. 'Cause, see, there will be so many Browncoats there that we will be hard to tell apart! (ok, maybe wishful thinking!)

Hey I know!

Tristan,
When you pickup your badge you can have them put your Nickname on it. Many use their screennames. Also Fireflygal has shiny lanyards for holding said name badges, they say BROWNCOAT FIREFLY SERENITY all over them, makes us easy to spot. Jayne Hats also work. My yellow BROWNCOAT bag also useful. Blue Sun t-shirts, good bet that's a browncoat. There'll be an acre of us.
Fan Table is the place to meet people if you're completely lost.

Persephone, that sounds like a great idea! I'll be the one wearing the Mal outfit doing an Irish jig!

JadeHand, thank you. I am pretty sure you were the one who sent me the link to FireFlyGal's site for the lanyards...that is on my "to get" list. As far as the name badge, I will have Tristan put on it when I order it...I know, I haven't had the money yet...I am spending too much getting stuff together for the Con to actually get a ticket TO the Con...that's something I will have to remedy soon...

Giving me my own island would be splendid; but let's be silly for a minute and keep this within the Realm of the Plausible.

Are you collecting table-staffer information yet? Do you have any guidelines on donations for the auction-for-charity items? I'm planning on volunteering for D*C itself, but I won't be pulling a rockstar shift (60 hours in 4 days). I'm available to help out a bit. I'm trying to arrange a small invasionary force, and one or two of them may also be interested in helping out at the FFF fan table - I'll pass the request along.

If I could supply a private island, I'd already be there. But you could come visit

I haven't started collecting volunteer info yet. About a month or so out, I'll post for volunteers. But you and your force will be very welcome. You can never have too much help, especially when they are BC's.

As for donations, I'll take just about anything. 'Cause I have no pride, like that. I've embraced the begging

Do you have something in mind you are looking to get rid of? You can PM me, if you'd like, and we'll discuss. Thanks!

Hi folks, I need your feedback on something. (Apparently this week, I'm earning my Junior Market Researcher badge.)

One of my invasion force is also running a panel or two in the Art Show, and possibly exhibiting and selling. In terms of quilted items, she's wondering what people would prefer to buy: bed-size quilts, or throws. She's planning on doing some sci-fi-themed designs, or using space-themed fabrics and colorschemes. For those who have bought blanket-like items at conventions before, or thought about buying such - would you be more likely to purchase one size or the other? If so, why?

Here's a little bit of cross posting.

"For those of you interested in marching with your fellow Browncoats in the parade or entering the costume contest this year at Dragon Con, this information is for you! In order to pre-register for the parade so we can inform the convention of how many people will be in our group, send an e-mail to
sebcparade AT gmail DOT com and include the information listed below:

* Full Name
* Username
* E-Mail Address
* Costume you will wear in the parade (or simply "Original Design" if it is not a character-based costume)
* Whether you plan to march in the parade, enter the costume contest, or both

At the moment we don't have a solid location for the costume contest, but it is slated to take place after the parade. Once there is a more definite time and place, or any other details have been decided on about the events, such as prizes for the contest, e-mails will go out to the address you pre-registered with. For more information check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/southeasternbrowncoats/
and http://community.livejournal.com/sebc/profile
Any further questions regarding the parade/costume contest can be sent to

You could always ship your costume to someone nearby and then ship it back to yourself. If you were all rich like. Not that I'm trying to get a bunch of great costumes in the parade again this year, or anything

I'm planning on doing a costume, but I'm torn between doing Kaylee or going outside the box and do the vampire hunter version of Andy Hurley from Fall Out Boy's 'A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More 'Touch Me'' video.

On an unrelated note...I found some really great fabric this weekend and it was on sale. So I bought the bolt. Now I just have to figure out how to turn it into a costume. I have some ideas, probably sari-esque. Looks like I might actually get myself together and have a costume or 2 this year. Go me!
