If anyone's interested, our little company offers pirate bracers & custom mugs. The bracers we make have the flags from actual pirates (i.e. Henry Avery, Calico Jack, etc). Of course, we can always do custom work, too. Here's a link to my pirate outfit (please ignore the fat old woman wearing it. ) Be sure to scroll down and check out my mug. I can't help bragging on it!

taking lynette's lead here...
i'm introducing myself too. i'm a habitual lurker, tending to read posts way more than write them. anyway i just wanted to add my name to the list. i will also be at dragoncon this year and looking forward to meeting lots of other browncoats and the BDHs of course.
even though this is not my first con (or D*C for that matter) it is definitely my first time as a browncoat, bein that i only discovered Firefly since Serenity. Can't wait!

Also i recently find myself in need of a room mate or 2. so if you're female and would like to share a double bed room at the HYATT send me a message. i think the rate is $150/night

I've had an update on the offerings you can bring to the Wake.

It looks like we'll be donating the dinos and books to a children's hospital. So children's books and young adult books are a good bet. Pretty much anything that is suitable for the youngons. I'm going to bring some sci-fi and fantasy that I read in my tender years.

With your help we can brighten the day of some ill kidlets and make their stay in hospital less scary.

Thanks everybody!

And please post this anywhere you think it's appropriate. I just can't hit everywhere myself

So I just realized that PM's aren't working either. If you had signed up to go to the aquarium with my wee group, and haven't recieved the details as to where we're meeting and when, post here and let me know.

I sent out a message a week or two ago and haven't heard from a few people. I guess 'cause PM's aren't working. I'm going to release the tickets of the people I haven't heard from by the end of this coming week, so I want to put out the broadwave, as it were.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...

Okay, the Bedlam Bards are going to be there with bells--um, I mean, brown coats--on.

And yeah, I'm even gonna wear mine for the parade. Sue wore hers last year, so I reckon it won't make a corpse of me. I'm just glad it has pockets big enough for bottled water . . .

So, add the following folks to the list:

Cedric

I've just added 4 names to the list that make me even more excited about D*C.
Yay DarkJester, Cedric, Hawke, and Joyce. The Bedlam Bards are in the Con! Those of you haven't seen them live are in for a treat. I've had the honour twice, at last D*C and at a Ren Faire here in NC. I'm eager to raise my glass to them again, and to go "On the Drift".

I loved pointing out y'all to my friends when we watched "Done the Impossible." And then there was the parade shot, and I was like, "Hey, I know those people! Oh, look, there's me!"

Also, I just found out that there *will* be an Art Crawl from 5-10 Friday and Saturday nights. We'll most likely sing and play the Crawl on Friday. Hope to see lot of you there!

The only way Dragon Con could get better is if the Bards show up, and lo and behold, they announce they will be there.

Glad to hear you are making it Cedric. Look forward to hearing the Bards play again this year. If your selling those shiny "On the Drift" cds I'll be buying a couple as well. I play the cds I bought last year all the time at home. Nothing better to inspire one to some yardwork than a bawdy ballad by the Bards.

If there is room in Jadehand's invitation I'd like to tag along for said frosty beverages as well.

Okay, remember how we were all talking about taking over Buffy Prom because there was no Shindig?

Scratch that.

Prom is out.

Shindig is in.

Here is WickedWren's post from the SEBC:

So remember way back, when I said the D*C was not sponsoring a Shindig
this year? Remember when I said that if that changed, I'd be yelling
it from the rafters? Well, consider this me yelling it from the
rafters. The SEBC is having a Shindig!

I no longer need hypothetical volunteers, I need real ones. Here's the
sitch. We get the Hanover room C,D, and E at 8:30 Saturday night to
set up. We have the room until people leave. Doors open at 10. We'll
be there all night, so go to the Wake, the Signal podcast, and end up
with us. Make it just one big Browncoat day.

The plans for this year are to be less rave-y and more Shindig-y. And
we have 10 days, so we're gonna need help. Who's with me?

Go forth and post this jubilant news wherever Browncoats may visit.
Let's show everyone that the Browncoats are here to stay =)

Yay!

I ordered 2 bars. I didn't get a drink last year either, the line was huge! But I could only get 2 because I'm having to pay for them out of my pocket. We already spent the SEBC budget on the fan table, the con being 9 days away :lol:

So hopefully 2 will be better than 1.

You know I have done costumes the past two years as Mal & Jayne, but I think this year I am going sans costume. I will have my Firefly & Serenity shirts, but I am going to forego the costumes. It gets hot and stuffy outside, and inside is little better with so many people.

Weather.com has it raining or at least partly cloudy all the way into next weekend, so maybe they will actually be right.

As for the Shindig, I would be interested in helping, so whoever needs to can contact me via my profile or at jimi.spettel@gmail.com . Specifically, are the two bartenders you hired the only ones allowed to make the drinks? I have been doing it for 3+ years and would be willing to put in some time helping, if it is allowed.

(Apologies to C.W. McCall)

Well, howdy everyone! (flicks hat brim up, sticks handrolled cigar in teeth) "Prudence" here....miss me???

Yes, I'll be at D*C, and so will lots of my goodies from the OTTB General Store at the SEBC table. I can't believe another ruttin' year has gone by already! I'm racin' 'round like a cow Jayne just slapped on the rump, tryin' to get everything tidied up 'fore we gotta move on out on Thursday.

I told the Mister that we got ourselves a shindig, and he actually wanted to bring his shiny lord suit and wear it again....ya coulda' knocked me over with a Jayne hat at that point!

Cedric...so we'll both be doing the browncoat in the parade, eh? I debated about it, as it don't fit so well this year (grad school hasn't helped my girlish figure any), but I'm bringin' a backup version and my Jayne gear just in case also. Maybe marchin' in the ATL heat will help melt some off me, but there's gonna be far too many tasty beverages around to counteract that! (you all DO remember the Dragon*Con food pyramid right? Alcohol, Caffiene, and Sugar!)

I'm making a concerted effort this year to spend time at Browncoat parties, even if it kills me...uhhh, maybe not the best choice of words there, given last years fun with the doc, but I DO aim to misbehave...

....and interview some of you shiny people for a research project I'm doing (taking off beat up cowboy hat, putting on academic tam for a minute).

I'm going to have questionnaires at the SEBC table about your fan activities -- fiction, art, RPGs, videos, whatever you do to show your love for the 'verse. I also want to interview some volunteers, and will have a signup sheet for those who would be willing to let me audio record a brief interview with you about why you do what you do, and if you get involved with other fandoms the same way. I'm especially interested in talking to people who have been dependent on new technologies for what they do, or have adapted technology to existing fan activities.

Email me at shk at outtotheblack.com if you've got questions, but do indeed look for me at the SEBC table and most Browncoat events. And call me when there's a party afoot, gorram it!

um....hi

Wickket was the Ewok in Return Of The Jedi who befriended Princess Leia, played by none other than our friend, Warwick Davis. I must say, I'm quite disappointed that he won't be there. He was running a close second behind our BDH in the "who do we want to meet" poll.

Please add me to the list of D*C attendees. This will be my 8th year in a row at D*C. Can't wait! Hope I can find my spiffy Firefly/Serenity nametag that I got at the SEBC table and wear it with pride at D*C next week. I'll be a roving photographer (it's just what I do), so I hope to get many photos of the Shindig, and many Browncoats in attendance to share with the rest who couldn't make it. Gorramit, it's going to be a fun time!

DCTV=Dragon Con TeleVision.
Many hurmous spoofs of ads and shows. They showed "Mosquito" the Firefly parody. Which included reviewers quotes praiseing it, and a quote from Joss which was someting along the lines of "I'm going to sue somebody's ass off." Lots of fun ads including the officical D*C food pyramid, Alcohol, sugar, caffine.

No real caffeinated beer candy, but the idea goes along with the D*C food pyramid of caffeine, alcohol and candy. So, the joke is that someone invented caffeniated beer candy so you can get all your food groups at once. See? Silly.

But feel free to invent it. I guarantee it'll sell! At D*C anyway!

Well, I make beer, so now I just need to add the other two. I actually think I could make a caffeineated beer with no problem, depending on the reactions to water and yeast. We can put lactose in it, which the yeast doesn't eat, for the sugar. Won't be ready in 6 days but I have a year to perfect it. Shiny :)

Also, is that food pyramid in order, or just a grouping of the major three intakes of necessary substances?

Also, for the parade Saturday.

I do love having people do my makeup! It's fun!

Also, my hair.

But, if you get busy, I can always do things myself.

DragonCon TV is shown via closed circuit in all of the host hotels. In addition, whilst we were waiting for Q&A's last year, they showed a bunch of the "commercials" & Mosquito on a big screen in the ballroom. What a riot!

DCTV also shows movies and TV shows over the weekend. I do believe they showed every Firefly episode last year.

I second that notion. And it does seem right to me (I haven't told you so in any of the other threads but I really like your costumes, especially DPR).

I think that you guys have really inspired me. I will spend the next year perfecting a formula for caffenated, sugary beer (hell, if I can find a way to add protein, we might have some Mudder's Milk in the works) so that I can bring it to D*C and share it with everyone (I may have to charge a nominal fee, but it will be no more than the cost of the ingredients themselves).

From where I sit in the Eastern Time Zone, there are only 5 days until D*C (it's 12:45 am here, just got off work at second job).

Might be a nice change from my normal unflitered sake in a thermos (MY Mudder's Milk!), and I could carry it in a Starbuck's cup without too much question!

Ok, Mark and I were discussing the whole "caffinated beer candy" concept, and we came up with....

(drum roll please....)

RUMMY BEARS!!!

(or Rummy Worms, or Gummy Booze, you choose...)

We figure make jello shots with extra gelatin, dissolve some caffeine tabs in it, use hi-test booze for the cold water part (just like a jello shot), and voila! I actually saw a recipe for gummy worms recently...have to dig that up again!

What'cha think?
