coffee and chocolate makes everything better.

FYI Tristan: there's a little cafe at the Hilton that's not too terribly crowded in the mornings. The croissants are good and so's the coffee. I ate there nearly every morning last year at D*C.

Now I've gone and given away my secret and the place will be terribly crowded.

Actually, since they moveed the games and stuff to the Hilton, I fear it'll be much more crowded than it was last year. It was kind of quiet and peaceful over there last year.

Just throwing out a reminder that there is still time to sign up for the parade and costume contest. I've seen some of the prizes for the contest and they are very shiny

If you are interested, send an e-mail to sebcparade@gmail.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

PS- no pressure

Is there going to be a browncoat ball this year??
I read over at the SEBC(south east brown coat) site that they were not hosting a ball this year.
something about the dragon-con folks wanting to spread around the wealth in the american sci-fi arena
Anybody know anything different?
If another group is having a shindig and say,2000 browncoats show up,that woudn't be a bad thing,right!

I, like Mai, am rather unfamiliar with that.. mor-ning thing. I spent very little time at the Hilton last year, got my pass there, got lost looking for a party there, not much else. Oh, don't forget, I owe you a Orange Julius Shake thingie. I like the banana ones. I'll be looking for a nice breakfast place too, that buffet at the hyatt is too pricey and worse... too greasy.

Of course, Seryn! Or, we could just send out raiding parties every morning to bring us back croissants and coffee. Then, we wouldn't have to do that annoying "get out of bed and be presentable" thing.

LMD: I bet if you got an orange julius, you could slip some 99 bananas in it and that would be rather tasty. Though, none in mine, thanks. That stuff's like drinking banana flavoured gasoline or something. Whew!

JH: I didn't forget! I've got a list of people who owe me drinks and I plan on making them all pay up!

hey, great idea!

Who here is a morning person? I am most definetly not. On my best days i'm apt to go ghosting it round the rooms (literally white as a sheet and banshee haired)grunting ocaisionally.

It takes at least an hour for me to get living coloured. (though i'm sure having coffee and french pastries placed in my hands will cut that time down considerably!)

I can - rarely - do the horizontal to up showered and out of the door in under ten minutes thing, but the waking up time still stands.

Just to warn y'all.

Hey - two, possibly three women looking for rooms! Fireflygal, are you still looking for roomies? Kentucky, Tennessee, and California represent'n. We're planning on being in town starting August 31 to the bitter end. :D

I'm a morning person, but also
1) a west-coast person
2) an epileptic who has just transitioned to new medications
so without my coffee, I'm technically sentient - and that only because I can operate complex modern devices such as doorknobs even with too much blood in the caffeine stream. (OTOH, break out the camera and start gathering those hilarious 'guh'-morning-face blackmail photos.)

I am one of those odd morning people. However, it involves me going to bed first, and I don't really see that happening that weekend.

Straight, it's a bit different. It has a hint of something I can only describe as "berry-like"...kinda blackberry to my tastes. If you like rum-and-coke style drinks, I highly suggest the Tattoo as an alternative. The berry mixes quite well with the soda, and you taste the rum, but with no harshness.

JADEHAND

Thursday, July 27, 2006 3:06 AM

I taste no harshness with the regular Captain. But I'll give the Tattoo a try. I drank almost an entire 5th of Captain with only about of litre of the Coke (zero). Captain just suits me. Can't wait to try the tatoo though.

Morning, all.
JadeHand, let me know what you think of the Tattoo.

LMD, my brother introduced me to the 99 Bananas bu saying "her, try this" and handing me a shot of it. In his defence, he did tell me to sip it. The first taste is not bad; all banana-y...it's when the aftertaste hits that the eyes cross.

Did everyone else get that little Dragon*Con program thingy in the mail?

It made me think: we have not a shindig this year and it's a shame because our shindig was the shindiggeryest party that year. It was faboo.

I noticed they're having Buffy Prom again. I was there briefly last year and I wasn't impressed. It was rather lame. At least for the 1/2hr I was there.

Anyway, the thinking: Buffy Prom would be less lame if we went. A bunch o' Browncoats crash Prom. Could be fun. Also, Buffy's Whedon, so it's not that far out of our way.

Maybe I just want an excuse to wear a slinky dress?

Monday, July 31, 2006 3:15 PM

i got the book, i didn't look through it yet. is the prom thingy on Fri? Maybe Pirates hit Sunnydale.. I Don't have an idea of what sort of dress would be appropriate.
I wasn't planning on Tux or coat and tie in that weather. I could come up with something for it if our group wants to make it a thing. I'll have to ask someone to prom again? ack!
ah well, anything to spend an evening with the 'Coats in some slink.

Even though there isn't an official Shindig scheduled on Saturday night this year you can still plan to spend part of the evening with your fellow Browncoats by attending the LIVE recording of 'The Signal' podcast that is scheduled for 10pm on Saturday evening as part of the new podcasting programming track.

That's about as piratey as I plan on getting.

Because I enjoy irony...

Minus the eyepatch. I've had to wear one for real, and its really lost all its romance for me.

pirates have always been my fav baseball team (first professional sports team i was a fan of). Of course...I don't care for baseball much, lol

Also, I've had to wear an eyepatch for real on far too many occasions (oh! and one of my grandpas has a glass eye, lol). We just have no luck with the eyes.

Pirate costume is all I got...I really wanted some other costumes, but the cash flow just isn't what I need it to be for such things :(

Yes - thanks, fireflygal. We just got the reservations the other day. We're going to be about 14 miles away, but with a limited budget, the need for a kitchenette, and a car (we're driving down from Louisville to get Apryl's gallery showings set up), we can be a bit further out. It would have been nice to be at or closer to the venue...but 'tai not happening.

Now the panic is - crap, what do we wear for the Prom-thingie and do we have enough time to pull it together? Apryl's the costume-whiz, but she's got enough stuff to take care of; and neither of the rest of us are any good with costuming. I may take the easy way out and bring one of my nice dresses and some costume jewelry.

I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Yes - thanks, fireflygal. We just got the reservations the other day. We're going to be about 14 miles away, but with a limited budget, the need for a kitchenette, and a car (we're driving down from Louisville to get Apryl's gallery showings set up), we can be a bit further out. It would have been nice to be at or closer to the venue...but 'tai not happening.

Now the panic is - crap, what do we wear for the Prom-thingie and do we have enough time to pull it together? Apryl's the costume-whiz, but she's got enough stuff to take care of; and neither of the rest of us are any good with costuming. I may take the easy way out and bring one of my nice dresses and some costume jewelry.

I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Now that the room crisis is solved, time to move into costume crisis mode... Good luck.

We were thinking of dressing up and wearing Jayne hats. I need to start a new D*C thread.

I'm thinking shirt and tie, maybe a sport's coat. no tux. I hope there's a iron in the room. We had irons in all the rooms at the hotel where I worked.

that would be great if they don't have them in the rooms. We can always call the hotel and ask. It would be nice to not have a wrinkled dress shirt when dressing to impress.

well maybe not uber dressed up. Something with a little slink. Also, depending on the heat we may just go with the lightest wear we can. If it doesn't cool off between now and then, I may just be in a t-shirt.

there are irons in the rooms.

I remember from last year. I used one and ruined my red chinese dress, which is soon to become my red chinese blouse!
