As the first 3 of these threads approach 200 posts, I've created a forth to reduce load times and attempt to summerize some of the information released in the first three threads.

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.

The Hyatt is more or less the main hotel up front on the main street where the parade will be. Marriott is Directly behind it. Police tend to moitor and direct trafic for us at the area between for easy crossing of the street. there's also a connecting hamster tunnel over the street. The Hilton is directly behind the Marriott and is the main hotel for Gamers. I believe the main site www.dragoncon.org states the games(Role Playing/Collectable Card Games) will be there this year. Westin and Days Inn are about a block each from the Hyatt in different Directions. so it looks something like this:
Hilton
Marriott
.
Hyatt............Westin
.
.
.
.
.
Days Inn
There's a reasonably priced diner at the Days Inn and 'Beverage' shop between the Hyatt and Days Inn.

Marriot Goes 100 percent smoke-free, beginning in September.

Since we're continuing from the previous thread, let me reiterate that Buffy Prom is NOT a mandatory dressy affair. I was there last year in jeans. No, cords. And sneakers. Not dressy at all. There were some people in prom outfits. One couple had these swell rockabilly outfits on and were jumpin' and jivin' away. And there were a few people dressed as faeries and goth and whatever that had, like me, wandered in off the streets.

So, stop stressing about what to wear! If you wanna get all prettified, then so be it. If you can't bear the thought, then don't bear it.

Lissa: I can't wait to see the dress with all the stuff hanging off of it.

i'd like to get a general idea of what the hidey tower/loafer/serenitree crowd is planning on doing for that, so I can decide what to wear. I'm not stressing, just want to generally fit in with my "crew"

my current take on the input I've received is that most prefer to not dress up for it, unless we go as pirates. I think we were planning pirates for Friday, but we can shift that to saturday(if that's when the prom thing is)if everyone wants to pirate prom the night. could be highly entertaining. we can Sereni-Tree friday...

Now the problem is finding one of those corsages things (tracking device optional) that goes with my pirates outfit....

On a slightly different note, i need anopther list of British sweets (candy) that you folks want me to bring, and anything else that you want.

Oh..I don't want to switch Pirate Day! *pout* Saturday is parade day, don't forget, so most of us will be all paradey all day.

I don't see why we can't just change back into whatever for prom. The website says it's at 10pm on Saturday. Just a thought, is all.

Well, Sounds like we'll stick to pirates on friday. As the prom is an evening thing we'll have a chance to get cleaned up first, and dress however you like. I only have the one pirate costume, so I'll likely just do regular dress. there is no dress code, so go as you like. My wear will depend a great deal on the temps.
I'm not parading.

Are there plans for a Browncoat / FFF.net gathering of some sort at D*C?

There was the Shindig last year, but it being loud and me being timid, I lurked in corners and met no one.

Kitten,
As far as I know there are no specific plans for a large scale browncoat event other than the Panels for the cast. There's also the browncoat table where you can meet random other browncoats from this and other boards. Since there is no shindig planned, we may go tho the Buffy prom on Sat.

Kitten,

The Con Suite is hosting a Wash Wake this year. It will be Sat. from 6-9pm, before the Buffy prom and the Signal podcast. It's an open event with free food, good company, and perhaps a fun little contest or two. It will be much more low key and less loud than last year's Shindig, so a better opportunity to be able to meet people. Plus you should be able to hear eachother this year

I feel really stupid, but I can't wait to meet some more Browncoats!!!!! For the first time since last December when I saw all episodes and the BDM, I'll actually meet people, in person, who get why I'm so excited about the 'Verse. I know it sounds corny but seeing the show gave me a reason to go on. My best friend of 34 years died last December and I was lost and rudderless. We spoke several times a week even though we lived a time zone away. I had to notify his family. I couldn't bear it. After a few days I quit my job - they sent me home from work and said come back in two weeks and if I still wanted to quit, do it then. For two weeks I watched the show (my brother sent me the boxed set of the show) after watching the first episode I went out and bought the movie and watched it after I watched all of it every moment I was awake for the full two weeks. While I didn't fight and lose a war, I had lost almost all that was important to me: like the Captain. And then I realized once that happens, you can either lay down and die or go on. Stupid to get it out of TV show but there you have it. You can talk about great characters (which it has), you can talk about excellent writing and concept (which it also has), perfect casting and cast chemistry (yeah it has that too), but mostly I got a reason to go on. It will be wonderful to meet others who get it too. I sure want more. Weird that I was at Dragon*Con last year even was at the Firefly/Serenity panel (even sat next to Jewel Straite's table at brunch one day) and didn't realize how lucky I was. This year I'll know how lucky I was.

I don't know, but someone did say that there wasn't a strict dress code...so, sure. I'd say "whatever knocks your socks off"...but that would be just a Wee Bit Too Clever.

Hell's Kitten, I think the whole thing is going to be one big Shindig...oh, yeah, and there are supposed to be non-Browncoats there, too.

Also, as we are now getting closer to D-Day, I post this for all of us with projects still to do:

I'm wearing hair up in french knot, white gloves over the elbow, black velvet-fitted and straight line with spaghetti straps. Still working on the jewelry end with possible scarf. As to projects, I'm working on Browncoat, Firefly, Serenity alphabet attachments to lanyards, pins, and maybe earrings which if I'm lucky, I'll be able to get the SE Browncoats to provide at the fan table for either free or under a $1. We shall see. I'm also working on a quilt that maybe be good enough for the charity auction, so like most staying busy because I can't wait!!!!

What are you wearing and are you going to the Wash Wake?

TRISTAN

Monday, August 7, 2006 1:29 PM (P)

Wow. I will be looking forward to seeing that outfit!
Seems we all have tons of things to keep us busy until then.

For costumes, I have Mal's red-shirt outfit, Dread Pirate Roberts, and a Rohan-esque armor to match the wife's full armor. I am going to try to be at the Wash-wake, and I am pretty sure the wife will be coming with me to the Buffy Prom. I don't really have an agenda for the weekend (save the parade) as this is the first time I have attended a D*C...I'm just looking forward to meeting all the Browncoats!

If you want to go but still haven't registered, the TrekTrak still needs volunteers so I'm copying the email I just got in case anyone is interested. They make a real effort to schedule you around the traks you want to attend so...

TrekTrak --- the Dragon*Con track of programming devoted to Star Trek ---
still needs two volunteers to serve on its staff at this year's convention.

TrekTrak staff volunteers receive a free full four-day membership to the
convention (currently an $85 value), the opportunity to work with or around
Dragon*Con's celebrity Star Trek guests (escorting them to and from the Walk of

Fame and/or in or out of the programming room as needed, the opportunity to
have a photo taken with them, etc.), a ticket to Dragon*Con's legendary Dead
Dog
Party, and a personalized full-color Certificate of Appreciation (suitable
for framing). And, as it says on the Dragon*Con web site, "working staff
can
be an incredibly rewarding experience; that warm glow of teamwork and
accomplishment that comes with a successful year will last long after the
convention ends. And end it must.... but you'll be richer and wiser for
it."

Eligibility and duty requirements are somewhat greater for TrekTrak staff
than most other Dragon*Con departments. Persons interested in serving as a
TrekTrak staff volunteer:

* must be at least 21 years old; non-smoker preferred
* should be familiar with the Star Trek franchise and possess a competency
and appreciation of TrekTrak programming topics and participants
* must be willing to serve a minimum of two (2) four-hour duty shifts as
needed each day of the convention, Friday through Monday inclusive, including

breakdown and loadup of the programming room on Monday afternoon
* should be able to apply common sense solutions to simple problems and
know when to bring important problems or issues to the Director's attention
* should be able to follow simple instructions and be trusted to carry them
out without micromanagement
* should have a basic understanding of how to operate common audio/visual
and computer equipment, such as VCR and DVD players, camcorders, digital
cameras, etc.
* should have experience in, be comfortable with and can be trusted
handling money
* must be willing to purchase an embroidered TrekTrak staff shirt and abide
by the TrekTrak dress code while on duty
* should have secured accommodations during the convention (e.g., your own
hotel room or local sleeping arrangements)

If you or someone you know is a Star Trek fan interested in serving on this
year's TrekTrak staff at Dragon*Con and meets the eligibility requirements
above, or if you have any questions, please send your name and phone number via

email to TrekTrak programming director Eric L. Watts at _TrekTrak@aol.com_
(mailto:TrekTrak@aol.com) .

Hi, all!

My husband & I will be going to D*C again this year, and we'll be bringing some leather lanyards to sell. I've posted on another thread, but this one seems to have more fans...hope you don't mind the intrusion.

For the future, our little company also does leather mugs. We wouldn't be able to finish any before the Con (hubby is working on 3 for Adam, Alan & Summer), but we'd be more than happy to take orders for after. Check out our website at www.legendaryleatherworks.com for pictures of both the lanyards, and a couple of mugs we've made already (the one with the ships goes with my pirate outfit). I can be reached at ali@legendaryleatherworks.com or my cell, 314-974-4268.

Maybe I'll actually meet folks this year. I'm horribly shy, though.... See you on line for the Q&A's!

We’re 3 weeks out from con, and you know what that means. It means I’m here to beg for fan table volunteers. So without further ado, here’s my begging message that you will see everywhere

To volunteer for the table, please send your real name, a contact phone number, and the hours you would like to work to

fan-table AT southeasternbrowncoats DOT org

You will get a confirmation email with your table times and a contact number to call in case you cannot make it. If you do not receive this email within 2 days please email again.

We need volunteers from 8am to 7pm Friday through Sunday and 8am-1pm Monday

We will also happily take in donations of items and funds to help with the table and to give to our charities. Remember, we’re a charity too, so donations are tax deductible.

Thanks,
Serenity (the brunette one)

-as an aside, OMG yes! The Purple Punch was incredible. Glad to see y'all coming back down. And not because of the punch, just because you guys rock

Thank you SO much! And I'm hoping it will be the place to be

And so that I don't post right after myself...

Thank you to everyone that has already volunteered! That was quick =) We’re going to put everything into a grid, so to make sure that we get everything right, please, please, please, let us know what specific time slots you would like to work.

We don’t want to schedule people against anything they might want to see. I know the final con schedule isn’t done yet, so we’ll work things out if it turns out you asked for a slot that something you want to see is scheduled in. And just so you know, the BDH panels are scheduled for 1 pm Saturday and 11:30 am Sunday.

Thank you again! You guys prove that Browncoats really are the best.

So pick up your badge, grab a bite to eat, load up your flasks (Please remember that public drunkenness is against the law in GA. If you enjoy, enjoy responsibly ) and come sit a spell and wow your friends and neighbors with your knowledge of the minutia of the Serenifly ‘verse.

I would say.........IT'S ON !

Some other random things, collected from the various posts to this thread:

20 DAYS UNTIL THURSDAY !!!!!

I am completely down for some Mudder's Milk action, both the preparation and consumption of, and the mugs sound cool too.

This being my first Con ever, I am really looking forward to meeting a lot of shiny browncoats and being confused as to where I am.

The purple punch sounds intriguing, I would be interested in helping with the production thereof, if need be. (materials costs and whatnot).

I plan to have a large bottle of Jack in my room if anyone needs a flask refill.

I won't be in the parade or anything, though I will be watching, but to the 501st (apologies if I got the number wrong).

For the parade and our Serenifly costume contest, you can email sebcparade@gmail.com with your name and costume (i.e.Zoe, Wash, original character) Let them know if you want to be in the parade, the costume contest, or both. The deadline for us to tell D*C how many we had was August 1st. But don't worry about that, they alwasy have extra ribbons. We'll just want to know how many to grab

If you were asking about the big official D*C Masquerade, I have no idea, sorry.

And the SEBC also has descriptions and pictures for all of the items we will be auctioning at the table. You can see them here http://www.southeasternbrowncoats.org/auctions.htm

Ok, the way it worked last year was this: Fan tables were outside of the ballrooms, kind of ringing the elevators in the Marriott. There were 2 ballrooms that handled dealer stuff. One was in the same area as the Walk of Fame (where you can meet the actors & get sigs @ $20/pop), the other was in one of the bigger ballrooms. There are dealers that sell boardgames, tshirts, dice, books, collectibles...you name it, it's probably there.

Now, this year, they've moved the Walk of Fame to errmmm....the Hyatt, I think? One of the other hotels. They key is to take a deep breath and don't freak out. There are plenty of Dragon*Con people around that will help you find your way, maps of the various hotels, and TONS of friendly Browncoats willing to lend a hand.

Just enjoy the experience (even the getting lost parts)!

We're moving it from noon on Saturday to 3pm on Saturday.

Good morning!

I have final locations for our costume events.

The Parade - All participants in our parade group can meet at the Hyatt bar Saturday morning. We will leave the bar as a group at 8:30am to make our way to the parade staging area. This will make it easy for people to find the group, get ribbons, etc.

The Costume Contest - We will have the contest in the upper lobby of the Marriott. It is the lobby with the large seating area where the parade pictures were taken last year. I don't remember if it is one or 2 levels up from the main lobby, but we will post it at the table Friday morning. Please come by to double check.

I'll be arriving late Friday (@8:00PM), so I'll miss a lot of the shiny happenings during the day. I think Pirate night is Friday, so I may have to figure out where to meet up with y'all so we may go a raidin'! Arrhh!
Anyone know how big the rooms at the Marriott are? I'm just trying to figure out how seven people and all the costumes are going to fit into one place...
